About fence and deck staining
Timber decks and fences need cleaning and sometimes sanding before oil, stain or paint goes on, and the coating choice depends on how much grain you want to show. Decks take more wear than fences, so they need a harder-wearing finish and more frequent recoats. Ask whether the price includes a wash and any board repairs.
Getting quotes in West Melbourne
Before booking a painter for fence and deck staining, ask whether the price includes GST, callout and materials, and get it in writing. The quoting spread between operators in the same suburb is bigger than most people expect, which is exactly why comparing pays.
Local knowledge counts
West Melbourne sits in the Melbourne City area. Mention the suburb when you enquire and ask the provider to confirm travel, availability and any callout component before you agree to work.
Quick answers
How many coats of paint do I need?+
Most jobs use an undercoat plus two topcoats, which is the standard for an even, durable finish. Strong or dark colours, or painting over a very different colour, often need an extra coat. Ask the painter to quote the number of coats so there are no surprises.
Should I choose the cheapest painting quote?+
Not automatically. The cheapest quote often skimps on preparation, which is where a paint job lives or dies. Compare what each quote includes for washing, filling, sanding and number of coats, and check the painter carries public liability insurance.
Do painters supply the paint?+
Most painters supply the paint and build it into the quote, which is usually cheaper because they buy at trade prices. Some will apply paint you have bought, but then the finish and coverage are your risk. Confirm the brand and product line so you know the quality level.
