    Aaron and the guys at Dial a Painter recently painted our home in the Inner West. From beginning to end they did everything we expected of them in a professional manner. They did a great job painting our house both inside and out. All the painters were very professional and their attention to detail was second to none. Aaron was a great communicator for the job from the time he quoted for us, throughout the process and after the job was finished. Their workmanship was first class. I can highly recommend Aaron and his team at Dial a Painter highly.

    Michael and team did an amazing job painting the outside of my heritage house. Although I had to wait until they were available, it was worth the wait and shows they’ re in demand. Even when there were some minor touch ups, Michael made sure everything was completed very professionally. I’d highly recommend them and already have others in my street looking to use Aaron and his team.

    I have now engaged Dial a Painter services several times now since 2018, most recently over the last 2 weeks - to repaint all the interior of our house. This is my second google review! My last was 6 years ago. Aaron and his project manager Michael are awesome to deal with - polite, honest and easy to speak with. A very important quality they have continued to have is professional integrity in the work they do and pride in their craftsmanship. I thoroughly recommend them.

    The guys from Dial a Painter have just completed painting the outside of our house. They were very professional, polite, well presented and on time every morning. I was expecting that the job would take approximately 6 days but to my delight had it completed in 4 days. I couldn’t recommend Dial a Painter more highly. Steve

    After delivering a first class result when the team painted the interior of our home early this year we again trusted Aaron, Mike and the Dial a Painter team with our next painting project. This time it was to refresh the exterior of our home. To say we are blown away by the finished look is an understatement. They have really delivered a fantastic result and made the few days of painting such an easy experience for us. Our house looks amazing and nothing was too much trouble. The team have gone above and beyond for us and we are so grateful. Don’t trust your home to anyone else.

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 Dial a Painter have a verified ABN?
Yes. Dial a Painter has completed ABN verification on SureQuote.
