Chris painted our kitchen/familyroom/hallway in late 2017 and we were very pleased with the result. We think his work is far superior to other painters we've had. We also found him to be extremely helpful with choosing colours and asked him back to paint our newly-renovated lounge and dining room in April 18. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending Chris if an experienced, professional painter is what you're looking for.

I have been using Chris at various properties for nearly 20 years and there’s literally no one else I would let paint my house. Obviously his painting skills are A+ but more importantly, he actually cares about the work and the property. And he’s completely trustworthy, I’m totally comfortable leaving him with all my keys and alarm codes and full access.

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.

How do I get a quote from Colour By Design?

Colour By Design lists phone, email, or through their website on this profile, so you can contact them directly for pricing and availability. Share a short scope and photos to get a faster quote.
