    After numerous shonky tradies on a renovation, it was a breath of fresh air to deal with Ben and his team! They get it! They understand what being punctual means, what customer service is, and best of all, hardworking and respectful. Extremely happy with the finish and even more impressed with showing up on the dot! Thanks again, Ben and crew; will be getting you back again soon.

    Ben and his crew from Lime Painting have just recently finished painting the outside of our home at Murrays Beach, we contacted Ben as a referral from another satisfied client. From the first phone call - to the survey - the quote and then doing the job, Ben and his crew proved what I had been told about is professionalism and standard of work. We couldn't be happier - and cannot recommend Ben and Lime Painting highly enough. Do not hesitate to try Lime. We wish Ben every success for the future of his business.

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 Lime Painting?
