Hawthorn's streetscapes are protected for a reason, and repainting within a heritage overlay is as much about restraint as it is about colour. Getting the scheme right matters to the whole street.
We work with heritage-appropriate palettes, hand-strip original joinery rather than caulking over it, and use breathable coatings suited to solid double-brick walls that need to release moisture.
Hawthorn owners usually come to us for exterior restoration first, then keep us for the interiors once they have seen how the joinery comes up.
Housing stock in Hawthorn: Victorian terraces, Federation homes, converted warehouses and boutique apartment blocks.
