A professional repaint is one of the most effective ways to improve your home’s appearance, protect its surfaces and increase its value. But before picking up a brush, there are a few key things every homeowner should consider to ensure the job is smooth, successful and long-lasting.
At Newman Painting & Decorating, we’ve helped homeowners across Shepparton and the Goulburn Valley plan repaints that deliver long-lasting results, not just quick fixes.
Signs your home is ready for a refresh
Start by assessing your current paint condition. Are walls showing signs of fading, peeling or cracking? Is the colour outdated or no longer suiting your style? These are clear signs it’s time for a refresh. Next, think about your goals. Are you preparing to sell? Updating for a modern look? Restoring an older home? Your repaint should reflect your goals, whether that means using neutral colours to attract buyers or bolder tones to express your style.
Preparation is key. Surface cleaning, sanding, gap filling and priming are all essential to achieving a smooth, durable result. Skipping these steps leads to poor adhesion and a shorter paint lifespan, especially on weatherboards and exterior areas exposed to the Goulburn Valley climate. Choosing the right paint matters too. We use premium, low-VOC paints that are safe, long-lasting and ideal for Australian conditions. Our colour consultation service helps you select tones that work with your lighting, space and lifestyle.
Lastly, hire experienced painters who take pride in clean lines, quality finishes and respectful service. A great paint job doesn’t just improve how your home looks. It enhances how it feels to live in. With Newman Painting & Decorating, you can expect expert guidance, meticulous prep and results that last.
