Hillcrest Painting and Flooring Services: Setting the Standard
Period homes are our speciality.
Hillcrest Painting and Flooring Services is Steve’s business, and period homes are his speciality: Victorian, Edwardian and Federation houses and Californian bungalows. On an older house most of the work is preparation. Flaking paint is scraped back, cracked walls are filled and sanded, and fretwork, sashes and trims are prepared by hand before any topcoat goes on.
Steve quotes every job himself and is on the tools, with over 30 years in the trade, including more than 15 years painting homes across Melbourne’s eastern suburbs. See how we approach period home painting.
