    We just love painting  Architectural homes. Crisp edges and details everywhere. As a result to get all those large walls and ceilings looking flat and flawless is quite a task. Here at Sterling Interior House Painters Richmond, we know a few techniques.

    “And yes we really did leave it that clean and tidy.”

    Paints Used:

    • Walls & Ceilings: Haymes Expressions Ceiling Flat – Antique White USA 1/2.

    Interior House Painting

    Having worked with this customer and the Architech before, we know the high standards expected of the painting. The basic standard is the Australian Standard AS/NZS 2311, is where we start. We finish at a much higher level, otherwise we wouldn’t be able to achieve faultless, flawless painted ceilings and walls.

    House Painters Project Management

    Having a clear understanding of any painting project is benefit to all. We can help you clarify all aspects of your house painting project, before we start,  to ensure that everything goes to plan from start to finish. This is included in every painting project, just ask.  If you require other trades, we can project manage that too. See our Home Makeovers page.

    Lime Washing the Seventies. Essendon

    Lime Washing Over Another Decade

    A bright orange varnished ceiling, showing the dated look of the extension. Making the ceiling look as if it were just a metre or so above your head. Well something has to be done! Lime washing. What would we as Interior House Painters do?

    The customers originally wanted the ceiling painted white, however this would mean every crack inbetween the panels would show. We recommended painting a white wash or a lime wash to calm down the wooden panels instead and the customers were happy to go with this.

    One of our problems was, we had was the wooden panels. Which were originally varnished with an oiled based varnish. That means we had to apply an oil based product too, because oil and water don’t mix. White wash and Lime Wash usually are acylic (water-based)! Taking advice from the PaintSpot paintshop, we used a ‘lime wash’ formula and tinted up an oil based varnish.

    Painting Techniques

    Random is very hard to achive. We have to apply the varnish evenly, and because it’s varnish we have to apply it by brush and not by roller. Using a roller would even out the lime wash into a opaque liquid, which is not a good look anyway. So we brushed this ceiling by hand, three times!

    Interior House  Painting

    Interior House Painting, not only painters, but much more. The owner chose the paint colours based upon a recently purchased painting. The room simply had to go with her new acquisition. Well you can always repaint a room, a good piece of art will last a lifetime! That’s what we as Interior House Painters do.

    House Painting, takes a little more than just painting the interior of your house. Most importantly it’s your home that’s getting painted. We treat your home like our own homes, why? Because it’s your home and not a building site. We’ll take care of not just the painting, but your belongings.

    Yes, we do ask you to remove the delicate and expensive items. We do ask you to get your home ready for the painters. Whilst we can usually help with the bigger furniture items, we are not removalists, because we would like to get on with the painting.

    Paints Used:

    • Dulux Wash & Wear Flat – Sandy Day ¼.
    • Dulux Wash & Wear Low Sheen – Sandy Day.
    • Super Enamel Dulux Semi Gloss – White.

    Customer Quote:

    “Chris was great to work with again! Nothing was too much trouble, including repainting the lounge room twice when I changed my mind about the colour. What I’m most impressed with though is the quality of the job that Chris does – his attention to detail is fantastic. I’m a repeat customer and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sterling Painters.”
