Servicing Mentone, VICMentone House Painters | Northern Star Painting
Period home restoration and coastal repaints in Mentone.
Mentone runs from grand older homes near the foreshore to compact family housing and unit blocks further back. Proximity to the bay means exterior systems need coastal consideration, while the period stock needs a careful hand around original detail.

House painters in Mentone
Period detail and original profiles
Ornate timber, mouldings and verandah detail are hand-prepared rather than machine-sanded, so the profile stays sharp instead of being rounded off or filled flat.
Units and investment properties
For unit blocks and rentals we work to access and turnover constraints, using hard-wearing washable coatings in neutral tones.

Mentone painting FAQs
Do you paint houses in Mentone?
Yes — Mentone 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 Mentone?
Painting costs in Mentone 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 Mentone?
Most Mentone 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.
How do you protect Mentone homes from salt air and UV fade?
Coastal exposure breaks coatings down far faster than inland Melbourne, so the system matters more than the colour. We wash off salt and chalking, spot-prime bare timber and any corrosion, then apply UV-stable exterior coats at full film build. Exposed weather elevations are specified separately from sheltered ones, because the weather side always wears first.
