01 — South Melbourne
We've been painting homes and businesses across Melbourne for years, and South Melbourne is one of the areas we know best. Our team turns up on time, works tidy, and delivers finishes built to last. Every painter is fully licensed, insured, and trained in the latest preparation and application standards — so you get a professional result, every time.
02 — Our Point of Difference
Our Services & Local knowledge of South Melbourne
South Melbourne's heritage streets, converted warehouses, and busy commercial precincts make for varied work. We handle period homes, modern apartments, retail fit-outs, and office repaints with finishes that suit the suburb's mix of heritage character and contemporary energy.
Whether you need an interior refresh, a full exterior repaint, heritage restoration, or commercial work, we cover the lot. Popular jobs in South Melbourne include interior and exterior repaints, weatherboard and render finishes, heritage window restoration, kitchen and bathroom updates, deck and fence work, roof painting, and commercial fit-outs. Every service comes with the same attention to prep, product selection, and finish quality.

03 — The process
Six steps, every job,
no exceptions.
Every job in South Melbourne follows the same disciplined process: thorough on-site assessment, detailed quote, careful surface preparation, quality application, and a final walkthrough to make sure you're completely happy. We protect your home, clean up as we go, and leave the space better than we found it.
01
On-Site Walk-Through
I come to you, walk the space, measure, and photograph. I'll flag anything likely to cause issues — moisture, lead paint, substrate problems — before we go further.
02
Plain-English quote
Line-item quote in your inbox within 48 hours. No vague 'materials & labour' — every coat, every square metre, every bit of prep is listed separately.
03
Colour consult
If you want help, I'll bring sample pots, talk through sheen levels, test on-site under your actual lighting. Not included by default — but it's free.
04
Prep
The boring, essential 80%. Sand, strip, fill, caulk, tape, mask. Everything that isn't getting painted is covered. Every surface primed correctly.
05
Paint
Minimum two topcoats, always. Brush and roll for interiors, spray for exteriors and ceilings where appropriate. Drying times respected.
06
Walk-Off
We walk every room together before we pack up. Anything that needs touch-up gets touched up. Final invoice after you sign off, not before.
04 — The guarantee
Two
Years.
In writing.
Every South Melbourne job from EKC comes with a written two-year workmanship guarantee. If a finish we laid lifts, cracks, flakes, or peels due to our prep or application — we come back, we fix it, and it doesn't cost you a dollar.
This isn't about being generous. It's about doing the prep right the first time so we never have to use the guarantee. In seventeen years, I've had to come back under guarantee three times. Two of those were my fault. One was a leaking gutter that stripped the paint off the fascia — and I still fixed it.
