Melbourne Painters – House & Commercial Painters
Company Story – How we got started house painting in Melbourne
Women at Work Painters specialises in house painting and commercial painting throughout metro Melbourne.
The idea for an all-female Melbourne painting & decorating service germinated over many years of coffee mornings with kindergarten and school mums who all had a horror tale to tell of their experiences with trades people. Market research later undertaken showed both men and women from a range of backgrounds unanimously complained of the non-existent service from painters.

Women at Work Painters started in Melbourne in 1996 with a simple mission to “provide an all-female painting & decorating service to clients which is punctual, reliable, respectful and professional”. Reinforcing this mission, every quotation contains the Women at Work promise: “we promise to turn up on time, treat your property and its occupants with respect, work on consecutive working days, complete the job within the specified time and clean up all mess we create”
Due to our growth in both house painting and commercial painting our painting teams now include male painters. Sometimes it is more like “Men at Work” than “Women at Work” – we are focussed on finding the best painters regardless of gender.
Women at Work Painters undertakes all aspects of house and commercial painting – interior and exterior, from repainting feature walls through to new multi-storey developments.
The Women at Work Painters brand stands for being responsive, providing quality workmanship, value for money, safety and reliability but most of all for providing technical skills that deliver personal and customer satisfaction.
We paint houses and commercial buildings throughout metro Melbourne.
