A family painting business built on craft and care.
We transform Melbourne homes and businesses one carefully prepared surface at a time. We were never interested in being the biggest painters in the city, only the ones you call when the finish has to be right.
Great painting is 90% preparation and 100% care.
Merri Painting & Decorating started with a simple belief: that homeowners and businesses deserve painters who treat their space with the same care they'd give their own.
That belief still shapes every job. We mask carefully, sand patiently and clean up properly, because the difference between a fresh coat and a flawless finish lives entirely in the details.
“If it isn't a finish we'd want in our own home, it doesn't leave yours.”

The Merri difference
Three principles behind every project we take on.
Preparation is 90% of the job
Anyone can roll paint onto a wall. The difference between a good job and a great one is everything that happens before the first coat: the filling, sanding, caulking, masking and priming. We never rush it, because it's the part you'll never see but always notice.
Premium products, applied with precision
We work with trade-grade paints matched to each surface and to Melbourne's climate. Straight lines, even coats, clean cut-ins and no shortcuts. These are the details that separate a repaint from a genuine transformation.
We treat your space like our own
Drop sheets down, furniture protected, floors vacuumed at the end of every day. We turn up when we say we will, keep you updated throughout, and leave your home cleaner than we found it.
