Three Decades of Trusted Service Across Melbourne and Beyond
Since 1995, LOLICO has been the painting and finishing contractor Melbourne businesses and homeowners turn to when quality, reliability, and accountability matter most. What started as a small family business has grown into a team of 45+ people serving commercial, residential, and heritage properties across metropolitan Melbourne and regional Victoria.
Led by Tony Lolicato, we’ve built our reputation on a simple principle: deliver exceptional craftsmanship, manage every detail meticulously, and treat every project – from a single-room repaint to a multi-site aged care program – with the same level of care and precision.
Why LOLICO Is Different?
Integrated Multi-Trade Capability
Unlike single-trade painting contractors, LOLICO offers a complete finishing solution. Our teams are experts in painting, plastering, carpentry, and rendering—meaning you work with one accountable partner instead of coordinating multiple subcontractors. This integrated approach eliminates interface risks, reduces project timelines, and guarantees consistent quality across all trades.
Process-Driven Precision
Every LOLICO project follows rigorous pre-work diagnostics, site-specific methodologies, and proprietary quality checklists developed over 30 years. We don't just show up and paint—we assess substrate conditions, plan sequencing around other trades, and execute with surgical precision to deliver defect-free handovers.
Dedicated Project Management
Every project is overseen by a Project Manager with an average of 15+ years' industry experience. Your PM provides direct oversight, clear communication, and proactive problem-solving, ensuring on-time, on-budget completion.
Built for Complex Environments
Our experience spans occupied aged care facilities (where resident safety and infection control are paramount), live food processing plants (requiring HACCP compliance), heritage buildings (demanding conservation-grade techniques), and emergency insurance work (where speed and coordination are critical). If your project has constraints, we have the systems to manage them.
