Our approach
A fresh coat of paint is one of the fastest ways to change how a home feels. But the finish depends entirely on what's underneath it. Cracked plaster, poorly patched walls, sloppy edge work. You notice it within a week, even if you couldn't name it at the time.
We handle painting and plastering together. That means the walls are right before anyone touches a brush. Plaster repairs, cornice repairs, heritage plasterwork, full replasters where needed. Then a clean, consistent paint finish throughout.
In Melbourne's older homes this matters more than most. Federation ceilings, ornate cornices, high plaster walls. These take more care and a different approach. We've been working inside Melbourne's inner south period housing stock for three decades. We know how to treat it properly.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do you repair plaster before painting?
Always. Painting over cracked or damaged plaster doesn't fix the underlying problem. We repair the plaster properly first, let it cure, then paint. The result holds up significantly better.
Can you match existing paintwork or cornices in a period home?
In most cases, yes. For period homes with heritage colours or specific cornice profiles, we work with what's there and match as closely as possible.
Do you do single rooms or just full houses?
Both. A single room repaint is fine. A full interior and exterior is fine too. We take on jobs of all sizes and handle every one to the same standard.
How long does interior painting typically take?
A single room is typically one to two days. A full interior repaint depends on the size of the home and the condition of the walls. Nicon Built provides a realistic timeline and clear quote before any work starts.
