Our Story

Paul Painting Melbourne started in 2018 when Paul Henderson decided to turn 20 years of trade experience into a family-owned business. After years of seeing rushed, prep-light work across Victoria, he wanted to build a crew that treated every property the way he would treat his own home.

What began as a two-person operation working out of Melbourne's south-eastern suburbs grew quietly through word-of-mouth. From the cast-iron lacework on inner-city terraces in Fitzroy and Carlton to the salt-exposed weatherboards along the bay, neighbours kept passing our number on. Today the same family still answers the phone, and Paul is still on the tools for every project.

Melbourne's famous four seasons in one day put real pressure on a paint job. We tailor our prep-heavy methodology to each substrate, using premium Dulux Accredited products and elastomeric coatings designed for harsh UV, salt air, and damp winter mornings. The result is a finish you do not have to think about for years.

What Drives Us

Prep Before Paint

We follow a strict prep-first method. Power wash, scrape, fill, sand, and prime before a single drop of topcoat goes on. Prep is the only reason a finish lasts.

Family-Owned Accountability

From the first quote to the final walk-through you deal directly with Paul, Chloe, and the team. No subcontractors disappearing midway, no sales-rep games, just clear answers.

Respect for Your Space

Dustless sanders, drop sheets on every floor, and a strict end-of-day clean-up. Your home stays liveable while we work, even on long heritage restorations.
