Servicing Yarraville, VICYarraville House Painters | Northern Star Painting
Period cottage restoration and renovation painting in Yarraville.

Yarraville is dense with Victorian and Californian bungalow cottages, many of them renovated at the rear. The paint has to tie a period front to a modern extension, and the original detail needs a careful hand.
Painting services we offer in Yarraville
House painters in Yarraville
Period facades and verandah detail
Timber sashes, verandah posts, fretwork and ironwork are hand-prepared so profiles stay sharp, with rust treated before coating.
Renovation and extension finishing
New plaster is sealed and checked in critical light before topcoats, and whites and sheens are matched so old and new read as one home.

Yarraville painting FAQs
Do you paint houses in Yarraville?
Yes — Yarraville 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 Yarraville?
Painting costs in Yarraville 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 Yarraville?
Most Yarraville 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 match the paint between our original Yarraville cottage and the new extension?
Yes. We match colour and — just as importantly — sheen level, since the same white in a different sheen looks like a different colour. Where the original coating has aged we will test on site so the transition between old and new sections is not obvious.
