House painting across Melbourne's eastern suburbs
We are ABM Painting & Maintenance, based in Croydon and working across Melbourne’s eastern suburbs. A house repaint is a different job to a commercial one. It is not just a wall, it is the lounge room you sit in every night, the kitchen you cook in, and the street frontage your neighbours see. Getting the colour, the prep and the finish right matters because you live with it every day.
That is what our house painting service is built around. We have worked on weatherboard homes in Croydon Hills, brick veneer houses in Ringwood, Victorian terraces closer to the city and Federation homes that need a more careful hand. Whatever the style, we protect your furniture and floors, keep the site tidy, and talk you through colour and finish before we start.
Homeowners looking for a house painter in Melbourne’s east call us for the exterior, the interior, or the whole property, and for the kind of specialist jobs a general painter will not take on: heritage work, colour consultation, architectural finishes. Owner Babak Maghsoudi is on every job, from the first quote to the final coat, backed by 27 years on the tools.
What we paint
Our House Painting Services
House painting covers a lot of ground, so we have split it into focused services. Interior and exterior painting each have their own dedicated page; the rest are listed below. Find the one that matches your home.
Whole House Painting
A full interior and exterior repaint, under one team and one schedule. We prep every surface properly, protect your floors and furniture, and coordinate colour so the inside and outside work together.
Interior House Painting
Living rooms, kitchens, bedrooms, hallways and ceilings, painted with the same care whether it is one feature wall or the whole interior. We also handle skirting boards, architraves and wallpaper removal.
Exterior House Painting
Weatherboard, render and brick exteriors prepared and painted to handle Melbourne’s weather, plus the details that finish a home off: garage doors, front doors, gutters, eaves and deck staining or oiling.
New Home Painting
A first coat sets the tone for years, so we prepare new plaster and timber properly before a single wall gets painted. We work with builders and owners on handover homes across Melbourne’s east.
Investment Property Painting
A fresh, hard-wearing repaint between tenants, done fast so your property is not sitting empty. We know what a rental needs to last and work around your timeline to get it back on the market sooner.
Heritage Home Painting
Older homes need a different approach, from careful prep on pre-1970s paintwork to matching period colour schemes. We have worked on heritage homes across Melbourne’s east and treat original detail with care.
Federation Home Restoration
Fretwork, timber verandahs, feature brickwork and decorative trims all need their own technique. We restore Federation homes carefully, keeping the character intact while giving tired timber and render new life.
Victorian Terrace Painting
Narrow frontages, shared walls, cast-iron lacework and high ceilings all bring their own challenges. We paint Victorian terraces across Melbourne’s east with the patience these older, tighter homes need.
Colour Consultation
Not sure what colour will actually work on your home? We talk through your street, your light and your style, then help you land on a scheme you will not want to repaint in two years.
Architectural Finishes
Feature walls, textured renders, timber cladding and specialty coatings that go beyond a standard flat repaint. If your home has an architectural detail worth showing off, we have the technique to finish it properly.
Restorations
Fire, water or storm damage, or simply years of neglect, restoration repaints bring a home back to a liveable, presentable state. We assess the damage, prep thoroughly, and repaint to match the rest of the house.

Why homeowners choose ABM
Built around the home you live in
A house repaint means living around the job while it happens. Here is how we make that easier.
👷
Owner on every job
Babak is hands-on from the first quote to the final coat, not a salesperson handing you off to a crew you have never met.
🎓
Trade-qualified and insured
Certificate III in Painting and Decorating, plus $10M public liability cover. Ask to see our qualifications and insurance before we start.
🧹
Tidy, respectful worksites
Furniture covered, floors protected, and a clean-up at the end of every day, so your home stays liveable while we work.
🔧
Painting and maintenance, one contact
Beyond the repaint, we handle the smaller fix-ups around it, so you are not juggling multiple tradespeople for one project.
📍
Local knowledge of the east
Based in Croydon, we know the weatherboard, brick veneer, Federation and Victorian homes common across Melbourne’s eastern suburbs.
📝
Honest, no-surprise pricing
Free written quotes with no hidden extras, so you know the price before we start and it does not move once we do.
Local experience you can check
27 years painting homes across Melbourne's east
ABM Painting & Maintenance is based in Croydon, and Babak has been on the tools for 27 years across Melbourne’s eastern suburbs. In that time he has painted almost every kind of home out there: weatherboard cottages, brick veneer houses, Federation homes and Victorian terraces, each with its own quirks and its own prep.
That local knowledge matters. A weatherboard home in Croydon Hills and a rendered Federation home closer to the city need different products and different care, and knowing the difference comes from doing the work, not reading about it.

House painting FAQs
Questions Melbourne homeowners ask us
Do I need to move my furniture before you start?
No, we move and cover furniture as part of the job. We protect floors, cover anything that stays in the room, and keep the space as tidy as we can while we work.
Can you match my existing paint colour?
Yes, we can colour-match existing paintwork or help you choose something new. Bring us a sample or tell us the brand and colour name and we will work from there.
Do you paint occupied homes?
Yes, most of our residential jobs are in homes people are still living in. We work room by room where we can, so you are not left without a liveable space.
What is involved in painting a heritage or older home?
Older homes usually need extra prep, from checking older paintwork to repairing timber before painting. We assess this on the first visit and explain what is involved before we quote.
Do you paint the exterior and interior at the same time?
We can, or handle them separately if that suits your budget or timeline better. Whole-house jobs are scheduled so the two do not get in each other’s way.
How do you handle colour selection?
We talk through your home, your light and your street before recommending a scheme. Our colour consultation service is available if you would like more guidance before committing.
