The problem
Repainting a Double Bay home shouldn’t be a gamble.
If you’ve put off repainting, it’s usually for one of a few reasons.
You’ve been quoted a price that crept up once the work started. You’ve heard about painters who didn’t turn up, or who left dust and damage behind. Or you simply don’t want strangers in your home for a fortnight with no clear idea of what’s happening or when it’ll be finished.
Those are reasonable worries, and they’re exactly the ones Upscale Painting & Decorating is built to remove. Every part of how we work is designed so you know the price, know the schedule, and know your home is protected before a single brush is lifted.
You deal with Esmayel directly, not a call centre or a rotating crew. And everything we commit to, we put in writing.
The Upscale Promise
Five things in writing with every Double Bay job.
Most painters tell you they’re reliable, tidy and good value. We’d rather show you. Every Double Bay job comes with five commitments, in writing, before we start.
Services
Painting services for Double Bay homes and buildings.
Double Bay’s housing runs from grand period homes to harbourside apartment blocks, and Upscale Painting & Decorating paints all of it. Every service below is available across the suburb and the wider Eastern Suburbs.
The process
How we paint a Double Bay home first call to final walk-through.
When you can picture the steps, the unknown stops being stressful. Here’s exactly what happens.
Colour Consult & Fixed-Price Sign-Off
You get a free Dulux colour consultation, then a written, fixed-price quote. Nothing starts until you’ve seen the colours you’ll be living with and signed the price.
Protection, Prep & Painting
We photograph and protect every floor, fixture and piece of furniture, then prep properly, filling, sanding, priming, before applying premium Dulux systems. Prep is where a paint job is won or lost.
Painting in Double Bay
Heritage homes and harbourside apartments.
Double Bay isn’t a typical Sydney suburb to paint, and the reason is its split personality. On one side are the grand period homes, Victorian terraces, Federation houses and interwar residences, many of them inside Woollahra Municipal Council heritage conservation areas. On the other is one of the Eastern Suburbs’ densest concentrations of apartment buildings, a great many of them mid-century walk-up blocks built from the 1950s through the 1970s. The two need very different things from a painter.
For the period homes, the constraint is heritage. Conservation-area controls can dictate exterior colours, finishes and how original detailing, timber fretwork, rendered mouldings, decorative parapets, is treated. Getting it wrong means a repaint, or a problem with Council. We work to those controls and use Dulux systems suited to the original substrates, so the finish lasts and the property stays compliant.
For the apartment blocks, the constraint is coordination. Painting a unit, a common stairwell or a full building façade in Double Bay usually means working alongside a strata manager or body corporate, managing access through shared entrances, and keeping disruption to residents low. We handle that scheduling and communication as part of the job, not as an afterthought.
Double Bay’s harbourside position adds one more factor: properties facing the water at Steyne Park, Blackburn Gardens and the marina take more salt and weather exposure on their exteriors, which is worth factoring into the choice of exterior system. We’ve painted homes and buildings across Double Bay and the neighbouring Eastern Suburbs, Bellevue Hill, Point Piper, Darling Point and Rose Bay, since 2016, and bring that local knowledge to every quote.
