Call Jimmy — 0432 077 782The City of Glen Eira takes in Caulfield, Elsternwick, Carnegie, Murrumbeena, Ormond, McKinnon and Bentleigh, a short drive north-west of our Mordialloc base. It is one of Melbourne's most consistently residential council areas: street after street of Edwardian and interwar houses, solid post-war brick homes, blocks of walk-up flats, and a steady run of new townhouses and apartments near the stations on the Frankston and Cranbourne-Pakenham lines. We paint across the whole area, and every quote starts with a visit to the property.
Glen Eira's housing runs from Edwardian villas and interwar Californian bungalows in Caulfield and Elsternwick, to 1950s and 1960s brick homes in Bentleigh, McKinnon and Ormond, to low-rise flats scattered through every suburb and newer townhouses along the rail corridors. Each needs a different preparation and paint system.
Jetblack Painting helps homeowners, landlords, and commercial clients in Glen Eira with detailed preparation, premium coatings, and clear project communication from quote through completion.
Each suburb below has its own page, with local housing notes, photos of our work where we have them, and answers to common questions.
The older streets of Caulfield and Elsternwick hold some of the best Edwardian and interwar housing in the south-east: return verandahs, leadlight windows, tuckpointed brick, deep eaves and timber detailing. Parts of both suburbs sit under heritage overlays, so if you are planning an exterior colour change it is worth checking the planning scheme first. We can help you put together a scheme that suits the era of the house.
On houses this age the finish depends on what happens before the paint. Timber windows and weatherboards are scraped back to sound paint, bare timber is primed, gaps are filled and sanded flush, and older paint is handled as lead-bearing until shown otherwise. That work is slow, and it is why the finish lasts.
Further south, Bentleigh, McKinnon and Ormond are dominated by post-war brick homes, many extended or rebuilt, alongside the walk-up flats and townhouse groups that make up much of Glen Eira's rental stock. For these we paint interiors between tenancies, refresh exterior timberwork, eaves and fascias, and repaint common areas for owners corporations.
New townhouses usually reach their first repaint after about ten years, when the builder's paint is scuffed inside and the render and cladding outside have started to fade. We prepare and repaint them with premium Dulux and Taubmans systems, and back every job in Glen Eira with a 5-year written guarantee.

All of them. We have dedicated pages for Caulfield, Elsternwick, Carnegie, Murrumbeena, Ormond, McKinnon and Bentleigh, and we also take on work in Bentleigh East, Glen Huntly, Gardenvale and the Caulfield North and South pockets. Glen Eira is a short drive from our base in Mordialloc, so an on-site quote anywhere in the council area is easy to arrange.
It changes the preparation. Homes of that age often have lead-based paint somewhere under the current coats, usually on timber windows, doors, skirtings and weatherboards. We treat old paintwork as lead-bearing until shown otherwise, which means no dry sanding or open-air burning off, containment and drop sheets under the work area, and a full clean-up before we leave. It adds time, and it is the part of the job that protects your family.
Yes. Glen Eira has a lot of 1960s and 1970s walk-up flats and newer townhouse groups, and we paint both for owners corporations and individual owners. Common areas are staged so stairwells and entries stay usable, and every job comes with a written scope that the committee can approve before work starts. See our body corporate painting page for how those jobs run.
