Our services
South Yarra has everything from period homes and apartments to townhouses, rentals and busy commercial strips, and each needs a slightly different approach. Sam Simon Painters works across all of these, including heritage and character properties where the work is suitable, as well as offices and retail spaces.
Book as much or as little as you need, from a full repaint inside and out to a few rooms, a front door or one small project. We explain the scope and process clearly before any work starts.
Our residential painting services cover houses, apartments, townhouses and suitable character properties in South Yarra, including interior and exterior painting. Whether you own the home, rent it out or are renovating, you get a fresh, consistent finish with minimal hassle. Surfaces are properly prepared, surrounding areas are protected, and the work area is kept tidy.
Our commercial painting services cover offices, retail shops, hospitality venues, warehouses and other suitable commercial properties in South Yarra. We provide interior and exterior commercial painting with careful preparation, efficient planning and a clean finish. From office walls and ceilings to retail spaces and larger industrial areas, our painting contractors work around your property’s requirements to minimise disruption and keep your business looking professional.
Interior painting is often the quickest way to change how a home feels. We handle interior wall painting, ceilings, doors, trims, skirting boards, corridors and feature walls. Before any paint goes on, we fill cracks and dents, sand rough areas and treat marks so they don’t show through. Careful ceiling painting, corridor painting and door painting give you clean lines and an even finish throughout.
Exterior house painting protects your property as well as lifting its appearance. We work on exterior walls, weatherboards, render, trims, doors, fences and other suitable surfaces. Because outdoor surfaces face sun, wind and rain, we wash off dirt and mould, remove loose paint, repair damage and use coatings suited to each surface.
Spray painting can give a very smooth, even finish, which suits doors, cabinetry, selected surfaces, some commercial applications and areas where a polished look matters. It isn’t right for every surface, though, as masking, ventilation and surface condition all affect the result. When we assess your property, we’ll tell you honestly whether spraying suits the job or whether brush and roller will do better.
Faded or aged paint on fences can make a well-kept property look neglected. We paint timber fences and suitable metal fences, starting with cleaning, removing flaking paint, sanding rough areas and repairing minor damage. We then apply coatings suited to the material for even coverage and a tidy exterior finish. Fence painting can be done on its own or alongside a wider exterior repaint so everything matches.
Proper surface preparation includes inspecting, cleaning, repairing, sanding, and priming surfaces as needed before painting. Many common paint problems start with inadequate preparation, and thorough preparation can make a major difference in adhesion, appearance, and long-term performance. Here’s how we approach it:
Doing the groundwork properly supports better paint adhesion, a smoother finish, more even coverage and a durable coating that suits the surface.
Older homes can have multiple layers of existing paint and surfaces that require careful preparation. We base our approach on the actual condition of your property rather than a one-size-fits-all method.
We handle interior and exterior work where suitable, and we take extra care in occupied properties, with tidy work areas and respect for neighbours and shared spaces.
Landlords and agents can book a refresh between tenants or before listing, so the property presents well and is ready to lease sooner.
From offices and retail to hospitality and larger commercial spaces, we plan the work around your property’s requirements.
Quality-Focused Workmanship: We pay attention to preparation, application and finish because the final result depends on all three.
Clean, Customer-Focused Service: The experience matters as much as the final coat. We communicate clearly, respect your property and leave the site clean.

Free Quotes: We provide free painting quotes so you know what to expect before you commit.
The right colour depends on more than personal taste. Consider your existing décor, how much natural light the space gets, the size of the room and the finishes around it, such as flooring and joinery. Exterior colours should also suit the street and surroundings. Flat or matt finishes tend to hide wall imperfections, while semi-gloss suits trims, doors and areas that need frequent wiping. Testing sample colours at different times of day helps you decide with confidence.
