We needed a full interior repaint before selling and took a chance on Melbourne City Maintenance after reading a few reviews — so glad we did. Raph, John, and AJ were incredibly punctual, professional, and easy to work with from the first call to the final coat. Raph explained everything clearly and gave advice that led to results beyond our expectations. We’ll definitely be calling them again!

You’ve Got Enough
on Your Plate
Between work, family, and everything else,
the last thing you want is to deal with exterior boards that are letting the weather in.
The reality is:
When weatherboards are damaged, it’s not
just about appearances. Left untreated, issues
like rot and cracks can compromise your

bigger repair bills later on.

People Love Our Work and That
We Follow Up Months Later
Excellent service. Even came in during the holiday period to check out our house to quote the job. Very reasonable quote which we accepted straight away. On the
day they were booked to do the job (external painting). I thought to my self Bill might ring and cancel as it was going to be a scorcher of a day . But there they were on time and did an exceptional job and kept themselves well hydrated. 😉
Great work guys!

I’d recommend Bill and his team for any painting job. My landlord was very happy with the quality of the job. Bill is attentive, reliable and provides good value for money.

We sought Bill and his teams services to complete maintenance work for our house in readiness for sale. From the outset Bill was responsive, professional and
understood our needs. In trying times with a snap 5 day lockdown across Melbourne he managed to rearrange the schedule including his sub-contractors to complete the job on time. All in all a very positive experience – quality work and advice done with a smile. Highly recommend. Thanks Bill and team.

Frequently Asked Questions
If your paint keeps peeling, boards feel soft, or you can see cracks and gaps between them, it’s a sign of moisture or sun damage. During our site walkthrough, we’ll identify which boards can be saved and which need replacing to prevent future issues.
Yes — most of the time only damaged sections need to be replaced. We carefully remove the affected boards, install new ones to match the existing profile, and repaint the entire wall so everything blends seamlessly.
We use high-quality pre-primed pine weatherboards or fibre cement weatherboards suitable for Melbourne’s climate. All new boards are primed before installation for long-term protection against moisture.
No. Melbourne City Maintenance does not remove or work around asbestos. If asbestos is suspected, we’ll recommend you contact a licensed asbestos-removal specialist first. Once the area is certified clear, we can safely begin the repair and repaint process.
We focus exclusively on weatherboard walls — not eaves, soffits, or roofing components. Our priority is restoring the external cladding so your home stays watertight and looks great.
Our process covers removal of damaged boards, installation of new pre-primed boards, caulking and gapping, full sanding and surface preparation, and professional exterior repainting — all managed end-to-end.
Minor repairs start around $1,000–$2,500, while larger wall replacements can range between $4,000–$10,000+ depending on wall size, access, and condition. You’ll receive an itemised written quote after a site inspection.
Most repair and repaint projects take three to seven days, depending on scope and weather conditions. We’ll provide a clear schedule before starting and work cleanly and efficiently throughout.
Yes. We source matching board profiles from trusted Melbourne suppliers and use professional colour-matching systems to ensure your new boards blend perfectly with your existing finish.
Moisture from leaking gutters, poor ventilation, or aged paint allows water to penetrate timber. Melbourne’s mix of rain, humidity, and hot sun expands and contracts boards — eventually leading to cracking and rot.
Always. Every weatherboard job we complete includes full surface preparation and repainting with premium exterior paints to protect against moisture and UV damage. We don’t leave any raw timber exposed.
Yes — we frequently restore period homes across suburbs like Brunswick, Carlton, Northcote, Preston, Fairfield, Clifton Hill, and Thornbury. We carefully match existing board profiles and colours to maintain your home’s original character.
We use high-performance exterior acrylic paints from brands like Dulux and Haymes — designed for flexibility, durability, and long-term protection against Melbourne’s changing weather.
Keep gutters clear, maintain proper drainage, wash down your exterior once or twice a year, and touch up any small paint cracks early. These simple habits prevent moisture build-up and extend the life of your weatherboards.
Yes. Every weatherboard repair includes our 3-Month Check-In — we’ll contact you three months after completion to make sure everything still looks great and performs as it should.
