It has resulted in the fires being treated as wilful.
Detective Sergeant David Tomlinson, at Paisley CID , said: "We believe that one of the wheelie bins was deliberately set on fire which in turn spread to other bins and also a car parked in the driveway.
"Thankfully no-one was injured on this occasion nevertheless setting fires deliberately is extremely reckless and dangerous and it is vital that we trace the person or persons responsible."
He urged those with information to contact Police Scotland.
