Bentleigh East sits in the City of Glen Eira between East Boundary Road and Warrigal Road, and most of its streets were built out after the war: weatherboard and brick veneer family homes on big blocks, many of them now being replaced by townhouses. We paint both, from a 1950s weatherboard that needs every board checked to a new rendered townhouse that needs its first repaint done properly. We are based in Mordialloc, so Bentleigh East is local work for us.
Bentleigh East's post-war weatherboard homes, cream and red brick veneers from the 1950s and 1960s, fibro-sheeted extensions and eaves, and the rendered and clad townhouses and units built on subdivided blocks across 3165.
Jetblack Painting helps homeowners, landlords, and commercial clients in Bentleigh East with detailed preparation, premium coatings, and clear project communication from quote through completion.
House Painters for Bentleigh East 3165
Bentleigh East is a big, mostly residential suburb on the eastern edge of Glen Eira, running from East Boundary Road across to Warrigal Road, with Centre Road through the middle. Its housing is younger than Bentleigh's to the west. Where Bentleigh is known for interwar bungalows, Bentleigh East is largely post-war: timber weatherboards and brick veneers on generous blocks, with a growing share of townhouses where those blocks have been split.
That mix sets the work. A weatherboard from the 1950s is a preparation job first, with the paint judged board by board. A brick veneer is mostly about the timber around the brick, which is where the weather gets in. A townhouse built in the last few years is render and cladding, and its first repaint is often where poor original finishes show up.
Post-War Weatherboard and Brick Veneer Homes
On Bentleigh East's weatherboards the boards on the north and west sides take the most sun, so that is where paint cracks and lifts first and where timber is most likely to need filling or replacing before painting. Older coats can contain lead on homes of this age, so sanding is kept low-dust and nothing original is dry-sanded. Every board, sill and window frame gets the same attention, because one missed split lets water behind the new paint.
On brick veneer homes the brick usually stays untouched, and the work is in the eaves, fascias, barge boards, gutters, window frames and doors. Those timbers dry out and grey off long before the brick shows any age. Bringing them back in one colour scheme is the change that makes a Bentleigh East brick veneer look looked-after from the street.
Townhouses, Units and Subdivided Blocks
Subdivision has changed a lot of Bentleigh East streets: one house replaced by two or three townhouses, usually in render with fibre-cement cladding and a mix of colours across the facade. Render needs any cracking repaired before it is coated, and cladding joints need sealing so the boards do not swell.
On a shared site, owners often want to repaint together so the townhouses still match. We can quote the whole block in one written scope, or price each dwelling on its own so each owner knows their share.

Frequently asked questions about painters in Bentleigh East
Do you paint 1950s and 1960s weatherboard homes in Bentleigh East?
Yes, and a lot of Bentleigh East is exactly that. Post-war weatherboards usually carry decades of paint, and the boards that face the weather open up at the joints and around the nail heads. Those are scraped back, filled and primed where the timber is bare before any topcoat, because paint over a split board only lasts until the next winter.
What do you do about fibro sheeting on an older Bentleigh East home?
Post-war homes here often have fibre-cement sheeting in the eaves, gable ends or a later extension, and sheeting of that age can contain asbestos. We never sand, scrape hard or pressure-blast it. Sound sheets are cleaned gently and sealed under the new coats; damaged or broken sheets are left for a licensed asbestos specialist before we paint.
Do you paint new townhouses built on subdivided Bentleigh East blocks?
Yes. Many original Bentleigh East houses have been replaced by two or three townhouses on the same block, usually in render and fibre-cement cladding. We repaint those inside and out, and on a shared site we can price each dwelling separately or quote the whole block for the owners together.
Can you repaint a brick veneer home without painting the brick?
Yes, and on most Bentleigh East brick veneers that is the better result. The eaves, fascia, gutters, window frames and front door carry the colour, and the brick stays as it is. Face brick needs no repainting, while painted brick does, so we only quote painting it when you ask for it.
Do you offer free quotes in Bentleigh East?
Yes. We are based in Mordialloc, a short drive down Warrigal Road, and give free written quotes across Bentleigh East with the preparation for each surface listed. Call Jimmy on 0432 077 782.
