Servicing Cheltenham, VICCheltenham House Painters | Northern Star Painting
Family home and townhouse painting across Cheltenham.
Cheltenham mixes original post-war homes with a wave of newer townhouse developments. That means we are often either restoring older painted timber and render, or finishing and upgrading builder-grade interiors in recently completed townhouses.

House painters in Cheltenham
Townhouse interiors and upgrades
New townhouses are usually delivered with a thin flat white throughout. A proper two-coat washable repaint, enamelled doors and trim, or a single considered feature wall makes them feel finished rather than generic.
Older home exteriors
Post-war brick and weatherboard homes here need real preparation — flaking removed, timber primed, rust treated — before any topcoat goes on.

Cheltenham painting FAQs
Do you paint houses in Cheltenham?
Yes — Cheltenham is part of our regular service area and we work there year round on interiors, exteriors, roofs and commercial projects. Quotes include an on-site inspection so the scope reflects your actual surfaces, not a phone estimate.
How much does house painting cost in Cheltenham?
Painting costs in Cheltenham depend on surface condition, access, ceiling heights and how many coats the substrate needs, so we quote after an on-site measure rather than guessing over the phone. Every job is individually quoted after we inspect the property — condition, access and the number of coats required change the number more than the size of the house does.
How long does a typical painting project take in Cheltenham?
Most Cheltenham interiors are finished in a few days, while a full exterior generally runs one to two weeks depending on preparation and weather. You get start and finish dates in writing before we begin.
Can you paint a Cheltenham townhouse while we live in it?
Yes. We stage the work room by room, mask and cover floors and joinery each day, and use low-odour interior systems so bedrooms are usable the same night. You will always know which rooms are out of action the following day.
