“Excellent work. Luke was straight onto our quote and Lauren is easy to contact with any questions. The team completed the house beyond our standards and a day ahead of time. Highly recommend these lovely people.”

“The team painted the entire outside of our house, including the roof. Fantastic to deal with from start to finish, and it's made such a difference to the look of our home. We'd highly recommend LA Painting to anyone.”

Local knowledge
Leederville is one of Perth's best-loved inner-city pockets, all character cottages, Federation homes and terraces around a busy cafe strip. Painting here is detail work: timber sash windows, ornate cornices, picture rails and rendered or tuck-pointed brick that reward hand-preparation and a careful eye, not a quick roller job.
We hand-finish Leederville homes inside and out, preserving the period character while delivering a crisp, contemporary result. We'll come and look, talk through heritage-sympathetic colours, and give you a clear written quote with no pressure.
Character homes reward patience. Timber sash windows, deep eaves, ornate ceilings and tuck-pointed or rendered brick all take careful hand-preparation and colour matching to do justice to the detail. Many pre-1970s Leederville homes also carry old lead-based paint, which needs identifying and handling safely before any sanding begins.
On the tight, close-set streets of Leederville, exterior work is about protecting the detail, hand-preparing timber and render, matching heritage profiles, and finishing neatly right up to the boundary. See our exterior house painting and, for brick and masonry, brick repainting.
Inside, we restore and finish ceilings, cornices, picture rails and trim to a clean, sharp standard that respects the era while feeling fresh. A full interior repaint is hand-cut and worked tidily around you, keeping the home liveable throughout.
How it works
We come out at a time that suits, look over everything properly and send back a clear, itemised written quote. No sales pressure and no vague ballpark, you'll know exactly what's included and what it costs before you commit to anything.
This is where the finish is won or lost. We pressure wash, scrape and sand back any failing paint, repair cracked or drummy render, then fill, caulk, prime and seal every bare or repaired surface so the new coats have something sound to grip.
We apply premium Dulux systems matched to your surfaces and the local conditions, by brush, roller and spray, in the right number of coats. Clean cut-in lines, even coverage and colours that hold up to the Perth sun and coastal air.
Before we call it finished we walk the whole job with you in daylight, check the coverage and consistency, and touch up anything that isn't right. The job's only done when you're genuinely happy with it, not before.
We clean up so you'd hardly know we'd been there, then we're still just up the road if anything ever needs attention down the track, all backed by our written workmanship guarantee.
