    Matt and Jan did a phenomenal job painting the exterior of our two-storey home. Their professionalism was evident from start to finish, and their attention to detail really set them apart. The finish is flawless, and they were a pleasure to have on-site. We couldn't be happier with the results and will definitely be recommending them to others!"

    ​"I recently had my one-bedroom unit painted by Matt and Jan, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, their communication was excellent and they were consistently punctual every day. ​The quality of their work is top-tier—very clean lines and a flawless finish. What impressed me most was how respectful they were of my space; they left the unit spotless every single evening. There were no hidden costs or 'surprises' at the end, and they were incredibly accommodating with small requests, even going as far as changing a light globe for me! I would highly recommend Matt and Jan to anyone looking for professional, reliable, and friendly painters."

    Matthew is extremely professional and great at what he does. He works at an incredible pace while leaving no room for errors (only took half a day to paint 80% of the entire unit). He is also super friendly and easy to get along with. Would 100% recommend for any job due to the above reasons and the reasonable pricing.

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 General Painting Contractors have a verified ABN?
Yes. General Painting Contractors has completed ABN verification on SureQuote.
