your painting questions, answered.

No. Quotes are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. We contact you within 24 hours to book a time, then we come out, measure and give you a clear written price.

Most single bedrooms fit within our Painter for a Day package at $995, which includes a full day on site. Larger rooms, high ceilings or heavy repairs are quoted separately. See typical prices in our painting cost guide.

Preparation, paint quality, the number of coats and who does the work all change the price. Our guide to comparing painting quotes shows how to read them.

A well prepared exterior commonly lasts 7 to 10 years, and sooner on timber and sun-baked walls. Read more in how long exterior paint lasts.
