At Timmo the Handyman, we follow a systematic approach that ensures superior results and lasting durability. Our process begins with thorough preparation, the most critical phase that many amateur painters skip. We start by cleaning the entire fence surface using pressure washing to remove dirt, mildew, old flaking paint, and contaminants that would prevent proper paint adhesion. For timber fences, we then sand surfaces smooth, removing splinters and rough patches that would show through the final finish.
Next, we conduct detailed repairs, replacing damaged palings, securing loose posts, and treating any rot or insect damage discovered during preparation. We understand that painting over problems doesn't solve them, it just hides them temporarily. Any gaps, cracks, or holes are filled with appropriate exterior wood filler, then sanded flush for seamless results. For metal Colourbond fences, we treat rust spots, remove corrosion, and apply appropriate primers designed specifically for metal surfaces.
The painting phase involves applying premium products using professional techniques. We use quality brushes, rollers, and where appropriate, spray equipment to achieve even coverage and smooth finishes. Timber fences typically receive a primer coat followed by two finish coats for optimal protection and colour depth. Staining requires careful application to ensure even penetration and consistent colour across all timber sections. We protect surrounding areas with drop sheets and masking, work methodically section by section, and maintain wet edges to avoid lap marks and ensure uniform appearance throughout.
Our Professional Fence Painting Process
Many homeowners underestimate the significant impact that fence painting has on both property value and long term maintenance costs. A well maintained, freshly painted fence can increase your property's market value by improving its street appeal, often the first impression potential buyers experience. Real estate experts consistently note that properties with well maintained fences and landscaping sell faster and command higher prices than comparable properties with neglected exteriors. The investment in professional fence painting typically returns 70 to 100 percent of its cost in added property value.
Beyond aesthetics, fence painting serves crucial protective functions. Melbourne's climate is particularly challenging for timber fences, with intense UV radiation during summer, moisture during winter, and dramatic temperature fluctuations year round. Unpainted or poorly maintained timber absorbs moisture, leading to rot, warping, and splitting. Quality paint or stain creates a protective barrier that repels water, blocks UV damage, and prevents the timber degradation that leads to costly repairs or complete fence replacement. A $1,500 painting investment today can prevent a $8,000 to $15,000 fence replacement in five years.
The visual transformation achieved through professional fence painting dramatically enhances your outdoor living experience. A fresh, attractive fence makes your entire property feel cleaner, more spacious, and better maintained. It provides the perfect backdrop for landscaping, complements your home's exterior, and creates a cohesive, polished appearance. Whether you choose a classic neutral that blends seamlessly, a bold statement colour that adds personality, or a natural stain that showcases beautiful timber grain, professional painting elevates your property from ordinary to exceptional while protecting your investment for years to come.

Melbourne's Climate Impact on Fence Finishes
Melbourne's unique weather patterns present specific challenges for fence finishes that require local expertise to address effectively. Our city experiences some of Australia's most variable weather, with hot, dry summers featuring intense UV radiation that fades and degrades unprotected timber and paint. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 35°C, causing timber to dry out and crack while accelerating paint oxidation and chalking. This UV exposure is particularly destructive on north and west facing fences that receive direct afternoon sun throughout summer months.
Winter brings contrasting challenges with increased rainfall, higher humidity, and cooler temperatures. Timber fences absorb moisture during wet periods, causing expansion, warping, and creating conditions favourable for mould and mildew growth. The cycle of wet winters followed by dry summers creates a pattern of expansion and contraction that stresses fence materials and their protective coatings. Poor quality or improperly applied finishes fail rapidly under these conditions, leading to peeling, cracking, and water penetration that causes rot.

Timeline depends on fence size and condition. A typical 30 metre fence requires 2 to 3 days including preparation, drying time between coats, and final application. Larger fences or those requiring extensive repairs may take 4 to 5 days. We provide accurate timeframes during quoting and keep you informed throughout the process.
Spring and autumn offer ideal conditions in Melbourne with moderate temperatures, lower humidity, and stable weather patterns. We can work year round but avoid extreme heat above 35°C, rain, and high humidity that affects drying and finish quality. We'll advise the optimal timing for your project.
Quality paint properly applied to well prepared surfaces typically lasts 7 to 10 years before requiring repainting, while stain finishes generally need refreshing every 3 to 5 years.
