    We used Ben Saunders Painting to paint our kitchen after a renovation. Ben was able to match the existing paint flawlessly and was very easy to work with. He kept in contact with us and worked around our schedule to do the job at a time that suited us. Ben and Doug did an excellent job and at a very reasonable price. We would definitely use them again.

    Ben and his crew transformed our old weatherboard house that was in desperate need of a paint. Suggestions were made for paint colours which were greatly appreciated and the result fantastic. The house was carefully prepped prior to painting. We can recommend this company to perform an amazing professional painting job.

Painting costs & guides

Frequently asked questions

How much do painters typically charge?
Painting costs depend on the size of the job, the condition of existing surfaces, and whether the work is interior, exterior or both. Jobs requiring significant preparation such as sanding, filling or priming will generally cost more than a straightforward repaint over sound surfaces. Most painters quote per square metre or per room, with exterior work and multi-storey access typically attracting higher rates. This page shows live pricing for jobs in your area.
Do painters need a licence in Australia?
Yes. In most Australian states and territories, painters carrying out domestic work above a certain value must hold a trade-specific licence or registration. Licensing requirements and thresholds vary by jurisdiction — for example, NSW requires a Contractor Licence for painting work. A licensed painter should be able to provide their licence number on request, and you can verify it with your state's building authority.
How should I prepare my home before painters arrive?
Most painters will handle masking, drop sheets and surface preparation as part of the job, but clearing the area of furniture, wall hangings and fragile items beforehand helps the job run smoothly and may reduce your quote. For exterior work, ensure the painter has clear access to all walls and that garden beds or outdoor furniture are moved back. Discuss any specific concerns like lead paint, mould or moisture damage before work begins so the painter can plan accordingly.
Does Benjamin Saunders Painting have a verified ABN?
Yes. Benjamin Saunders Painting has completed ABN verification on SureQuote.
