Services
Five lines of work, run by the same team. Most jobs draw on more than one of them — an exterior programme that needs render repairs first, or an office repaint that ends up including the patching and the flooring.
Interior work in occupied buildings — offices, classrooms, wards and retail floors — staged so the space keeps working.
Interior painting is mostly a preparation and protection job. The visible result depends on what happens before the first coat: filling, sanding, sealing, and masking everything that is staying.
Exterior systems specified for UV, moisture and temperature movement, with access planned per elevation.
Workplace repaints programmed around business hours so staff keep working through the job.
Systems for industrial substrates where the coating is doing a protective job, not a decorative one.
Painting delivered into a construction programme — staged to the build, sequenced around other trades, and carried through to handover.
Sectors
Most of our commercial work sits in buildings where the painting is the easy part and the scheduling is not. Each sector below sets out the constraints that actually shape the job.
Painting a school means working around a campus that never really stops. Term dates, exam periods, playground access and the presence of children all shape when work can happen and how a site is set up each day.
1 case study
Clinical environments set the terms. Infection control, patient movement and consulting-room availability all determine when a space can be handed over and what can be applied in it.
1 case study
Residents live on site throughout. That makes noise, odour, dust and — above all — clear, unobstructed access routes the constraints that shape the programme.
Strata work answers to a committee, not a single decision-maker. Scopes need to be documented well enough to be approved at a meeting, and programmes need to survive contact with residents who live there.
Retail work is measured against trading hours. The practical question is rarely how long the painting takes — it is how much can be completed and made presentable between close and open.
Venues trade at the times most trades prefer to work. Programmes are built backwards from service, and finishes have to withstand cleaning regimes far harsher than a domestic interior.
Leisure facilities run to a fixture list. Seasons, competitions and member access decide the window, and the surfaces involved are often large, high and heavily used.
Industrial sites bring scale and substrate variety together: large-format exteriors, steelwork, concrete tilt panels and roof structures, usually while the facility keeps running.
1 case study
The same five steps whether it is a single tenancy or a whole campus. Larger programmes add a documentation and pre-start stage on top of them.
Tell us the building, the areas involved and when we are allowed on site. Those three answers are what decide whether a site assessment can be scheduled.
We attend before quoting. Scope, substrate condition, access and the hours we are allowed to work get established rather than assumed.
An itemised breakdown covering labour, materials and scheduling — per location where the work spans several sites — so you can see where the cost actually sits.
Work sequenced zone by zone or after hours so the building keeps operating. Access planned per area: ladders, scaffolding, scissor lift or EWP as each space requires.
Areas cleaned down and handed back progressively rather than all at the end, so the site regains the use of each space as it is finished.
How we work
Almost nobody chooses a painter on the paint. Here is how we answer the six questions that matter.
Commercial Painters attends every commercial site before pricing it. Preparation is the largest variable in a painting programme and cannot be judged from a photograph. Quotes itemise labour, materials and scheduling, per location.
Commercial Painters holds Cm3 contractor OHS prequalification and Master Painters Australia membership. Working with Children, police and NDIS Worker Screening Checks cover the crews. Safe Work Method Statements and insurance certificates precede the first day.
Keeping it open is the constraint Commercial Painters is built around. Eleven NDIS offices across Melbourne were repainted largely outside business hours — zones isolated, work staged after hours, each area handed back as it finishes.
Per elevation. A single job routinely needs ladders, scaffolding, scissor lift and boom lift, as the Emmaus College campus in Vermont and the Noble Park factory exterior both did. More to plan, less to deliver.
For the substrate. Existing coatings are identified and the surface assessed before anything is specified. Commercial Painters is a Dulux Accredited Painter — which supports the five-year workmanship warranty — and an accredited Haymes applicator. Low-VOC systems are standard in occupied workplaces.
Commercial Painters runs them. Plastering, patching, rendering, tiling and flooring sit under the same programme as the painting, because the gap between trades is what stalls a job — not the painting.
Documented start to finish — access methods, constraints and outcomes.
Vermont, Victoria
A full interior and exterior repaint across a campus that stayed open throughout. The site had to keep running while work moved between zones, with access shared alongside an active construction site on one boundary and an operating childcare facility on another.
Noble Park, Victoria
A full exterior repaint of a working factory, delivered in the client’s brand colours without interrupting production or site access.
Across metropolitan Melbourne
Repainting eleven separate office sites for one client, each an occupied workplace, under a single contract with fixed budget accountability and consistent standards across every location.
Commercial buildings across 14 sites — dealership showrooms, childcare centres, a factory, open-plan offices, a school teaching block and a bar. Photographed as the work was happening.

Areas
97% of our work is in Victoria. We work from Bayswater North across metropolitan Melbourne and into regional Victoria.
Those are the places we have the most sites. Around Melbourne the work runs across 9 regions — Inner Melbourne, Inner East, Eastern Melbourne, South East Melbourne, Bayside & Peninsula, Northern Melbourne, North West Melbourne, Western Melbourne and Yarra Valley & Hinterland. See every area we service.
Commercial Painters was founded in 2015 and has grown into a Melbourne painting and property maintenance contractor working across schools, healthcare, aged care, strata, retail and industrial sites. Across the group, clients rate the work 5.0 out of 5 in 70 Google reviews on the APMG Painting Services profile.
The approach has not changed much: do the work properly, keep the standard consistent, and run projects in a way that is organised and easy for clients to work alongside. Every project is professionally managed from the first site visit to handover.
We use premium-grade paints and materials, including Dulux systems, selected for the substrate and the conditions rather than for the quote.
Questions
The questions that come up before anyone has decided on scope. The commercial painting services page answers the ones specific to a sector.
Metropolitan Melbourne, worked from our base at Bayswater North. Our documented projects run from Vermont and Noble Park through to Brighton, and multi-site programmes have covered offices across the metro area. If you are not sure whether you are in range, calling is a faster answer than a form.
Five years on workmanship, backed by our standing as a Dulux Accredited Painter. A workmanship warranty covers the application — how the surface was prepared and how the system was applied — which is why both are established on site rather than assumed.
Three answers: the building, the areas involved, and when contractors are allowed on site. Those decide whether a site assessment can be scheduled, and the assessment is what turns them into a written scope and price.
