Experience You Can Rely On.
Established in Geelong in 2001, Mackinlay Painting and Renewal has built lasting relationships with homeowners and builders throughout the Bellarine Peninsula, the Surf Coast and Colac Otway. Much of the business comes from repeat customers and word-of-mouth recommendations.
Nick and his team carry out most of the work themselves, from painting and decorating to plastering, floor finishing and related carpentry. Customers can request a quote for an individual job or combine services to suit their project.
For larger projects, Nick works with trusted tradesmen he has known for years, allowing him to offer a broader range of services while keeping communication straightforward.

What our clients
say.
See the work behind the reviews in our recent projects.
Nick and his team did a great job refreshing our home in Queenscliff. They painted both the interior and exterior, repaired weatherboards that needed attention and sanded the floors. The team was reliable, the workmanship was excellent, and the house looks fantastic. We couldn't be happier with the result.
Our service area across
the Geelong region.
We are based in Geelong and work out from there across the city and its suburbs, the Bellarine Peninsula, and the Colac Otway and Surf Coast shires. Torquay, Ocean Grove, Drysdale and Lara are all regular jobs for us.
Most of our work is residential, either for homeowners or for the builders putting up the homes. The rest is commercial, industrial, and health or education buildings. Small repaints and full new builds both come through the same booking process.

Do I need to prepare anything before you start?
We can discuss any preparation needed before work begins, including access to the areas being painted and moving or protecting furniture and belongings. We'll clarify what needs to be done as part of planning the job.
