Painter in Prahran – Interior Painting That Gets Properties Rent-Ready Fast
When a long-term tenant moves out, your property doesn’t just need cleaning, it needs to feel fresh again. That was exactly the situation for one of our regular clients, a local Prahran landlord.
After years of being “lived in hard,” the interior had taken a hit: patchy walls, hook damage, scuff marks, and the kind of general wear that makes a property feel tired and unloved.
They needed a fast turnaround, high-quality result, and a painter who could deliver a clean, welcoming look for the next tenants.
That’s when they called us, Melbourne City Maintenance, your trusted interior painter in Prahran.
The Challenge: A Tired Interior Needing a Fresh Start
There was no major damage, but it didn’t need to be. The walls were marked up and patchy, especially in bedrooms and hallways where furniture had rubbed against surfaces or kids had left behind fingerprints.
The home still had good bones, but it felt tired. The landlord wanted a clean slate so the new tenants could walk into something that looked and felt brand new.
Our Approach: Interior Painting That’s Thorough and Fast
We kicked off with a two-day prep phase to ensure the results would last:
- 🎯 Wall Repairs – Hook holes and minor dents were filled, sanded, and undercoated
- 🧱 Colour Match – We used Dulux Natural White on all walls to brighten the space and neutralise previous wear
- 🎨 Ceilings – Repainted in builder’s white for a fresh, open feel
- 🧼 Finishing Touches – Kitchen walls behind the fridge, bathroom touch-ups, and hallway walls were all brought back to life
- 🌿 Bonus Job – We also removed old planters from the back fence to tidy up the outdoor space
In bedrooms, we addressed the most common end-of-lease issues: marks from bedheads, dirty handprints, and small scratches. The doors were still in great condition, so we cleaned them instead of repainting, saving time and money for the owner.
The Result: Like New Again, and Ready to List
“It looks like new again, we love it.”
The transformation was immediate. By the time we finished, the home felt fresh, bright, and move-in ready. The landlord was thrilled with the result and relieved they could now list the property confidently and without delay.
And best of all, the new tenants moved in without disruption or delay.
