Servicing Northcote, VICNorthcote House Painters | Northern Star Painting
Renovation-ready painters for Northcote's period homes and extensions.
Northcote's charming period weatherboards and modern rear extensions require seamless transitions between classic charm and slick contemporary lines. We partner with homeowners and renovators for clean, timely turnarounds. Plaster repair, cornice patching and set-coat preparation are handled in-house, so trades don't stack up waiting on each other.

Northcote painting FAQs
Do you paint houses in Northcote?
Yes — Northcote 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 Northcote?
Northcote renovation painting is usually $4,000 to $12,000 for interiors, with plaster repair quoted separately once the surfaces are assessed. 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 Northcote?
Extension and renovation work is normally four days to two weeks, staged to fit the builder's program.
Do you work on historic and heritage homes in Northcote?
Yes. A large share of our Northcote work is period property — Victorian and Edwardian facades, ornate timber detail, lead-safe preparation and traditional profiles. We hand-prepare delicate mouldings rather than machine-sanding them, match existing colours and sheens where you want the original look kept, and use coating systems suited to older, breathable substrates.
