Where should we send it?

Thanks, that is everything.

On the finished website this lands with us straight away. This is a concept, so nothing has been sent.

The work we want

The old places are the ones worth doing.

Plenty of painters are happy with a new box that goes up in a week and looks like the one beside it. Proflo would rather have the house with the ceiling roses, the picture rails and a hundred years of paint on the weatherboards. Those jobs take longer, they take more preparation, and they are the ones worth standing in front of afterwards.

Victorian and period homesOrnate plaster, timber sash windows, high ceilings and the detail work that a rushed job skips.
Restoration rather than cover upAnything unsound gets repaired before it gets painted, because paint over a problem is just a slower problem.
More than a brushWallpaper, specialist finishes, micro cement, render and plaster, so one crew can carry the whole job.
Colour talked through on siteMost people want a hand with it. That conversation happens in your own rooms, in your own light, before a tin is bought.

What we do

Paint, paper, render and plaster.

Painting is the trade, and the rest of it is done in house rather than handed to somebody else. That means one crew, one standard and one person answering the phone. Not sure whether yours suits? Just ask and you get a straight answer.

Painting inside and out

Whole houses, single rooms, weatherboard and render. The preparation is done first, every time, because that is the part that decides how the finish holds up.

Walls, ceilings and trim
Doors, skirting and architraves
Weatherboard, render and eaves
New builds, schools and shopfronts

Restoration and character homes

Older places where the surfaces need sorting out before anything goes on them. This is the work we take most pride in and the work Proflo wants more of.

Victorian and period houses
Flaking, tired and damaged surfaces
Ornate plaster and fine detail work
Heritage sympathetic colour choices

Wallpaper, render and finishes

The sub trades that usually mean a second contractor and a second wait. Proflo does them alongside the painting, on the same job, to the same standard.

Why the prep matters

Anyone can roll paint on. It is all in the prep.

The prep comes first

Filling, sanding, sealing and masking before a brush is picked up. It is the slow part, and it is the reason the finish lasts.

Attention to detail

Straight cut in lines, clean edges and the bits most people never look at done properly anyway.

Local, and staying that way

Based in Wattle Glen and working across Melbourne north east. You deal with the same crew, start to finish.

Free quotes, no pressure

Every quote is free and there is nothing owing if you decide against it. You get a real figure off a real look at the place.

Questions

The things people ask first.

Does a quote cost anything?

No. Every quote from Proflo is free, and there is nothing owing if you decide not to go ahead. Painting is priced off the surfaces, the preparation and the access, so the figure comes from a proper look at the place rather than a guess over the phone.

Do you only do old houses?

No, and a new build or a shopfront is perfectly welcome. Character homes are simply the work we enjoy most and want more of, so if you have a period place you will find someone genuinely interested in it.

Do you do more than painting?

Yes. Wallpaper hanging and specialist wallpaper finishes, micro cementing, rendering and plastering are all done in house alongside the painting. That usually saves waiting on a second trade to become available.

Which areas do you cover?

Proflo Painters is based in Wattle Glen and works across Melbourne north east. If you are nearby it is worth asking rather than assuming, because the answer is usually yes.

What does the prep actually involve?

Filling, sanding, repairing anything unsound, sealing and masking. It is the slowest part of any job and the part that decides whether the finish still looks right in five years. It is also the first thing a cheap quote leaves out.

Can you help me choose a colour?

Yes, and most people want that help. The choice gets made on site in your own light, where a colour behaves completely differently to a chip held up in a shop. On an older home that matters even more, because the light and the original detail both have a say.

Is my job too small?

No job is too small. One room, one feature wall or a single front door is a perfectly normal call, and it gets the same preparation as a full house.

When can I reach you?
