Californian bungalows and weatherboard in Camberwell

Camberwell has a lot of Californian bungalow and Edwardian stock, which means wide weatherboards, deep verandahs, tapered porch columns and exposed rafter tails. Weatherboard exteriors live or die on how the gaps are treated. Every board joint, window architrave and corner mould moves with the seasons, and if those gaps are filled with a rigid filler instead of a flexible sealant, they crack open again by the next summer and let water behind the coating.

The other recurring issue is the south and west elevations. Boards on the weather side hold moisture longer, so paint fails there years before the rest of the house looks tired. We would rather prepare those elevations properly and match the sheen than blanket-coat the whole exterior to hide the difference. Homes of this age should also be assumed to carry lead paint under later coats, which rules out dry power sanding as a preparation method.

When comparing Camberwell painters on a weatherboard home, ask specifically how the board joints and gaps will be treated. Flexible sealant rather than rigid filler is the difference between a finish that lasts and one that cracks open along every join by the following summer.

Before You Hire a Painter in Camberwell

Painting is one of the few trades that does not require a registered building practitioner in Victoria, so the checking is left to you. Consumer Affairs Victoria recommends getting at least three quotes against the same written description of the job, asking any tradesperson for a current certificate of public liability insurance, and putting the agreement in writing even on small jobs. It also advises that a deposit should be no more than 10 per cent of the price on work under $20,000.

We quote in writing against a documented scope, carry public liability cover, and confirm the preparation, products and number of coats before work starts in Camberwell. The Consumer Affairs Victoria guidance on building contracts sets out what a written agreement should cover.
