    We had an amazing experience with Optimum Painting and Decorating! He installed wallpaper in our nursery and did a fantastic job. Not only was the work flawless, but he was also incredibly friendly, respectful, and tidy throughout the entire process. It’s so refreshing to have a tradesperson who genuinely cares about both the quality of their work and your home. Highly recommend to anyone looking for professional and reliable service—thank you again!

    Can’t thank Anthony of Optimal Painting and Decorating enough! He made our vision for our son’s jungle themed room come to life. I contacted Anthony initially to discuss wallpaper selection and the process for installation. He was so helpful and explained the difference in types and quality of different wallpaper. He provided us with recommendations for suppliers of excellent quality wallpaper. On the day of installation Anthony arrived on time and installed our wallpaper mural perfectly. I highly recommend getting in touch with Anthony if you’re interested in wallpaper as a feature in your home or building.

    Outstanding Service – Above and Beyond! Antony was incredibly helpful. Despite being flat out over the busy Christmas period and not having time to take on our job, he still made the effort to stop by and show my wife and me how to use a paint gun. He shared heaps of useful tips that helped us complete the work ourselves. Thanks to his guidance, we got the job done and had a happy wife just in time for Christmas – and he didn’t charge us a cent. That kind of generosity and customer service is rare these days. If this is how he treats people when he’s not being paid, just imagine the quality of service you’d get when he is. Highly recommend Optimum Painting & Decorating. Thanks again, Antony!

    I can't recommend Anthony highly enough, he did a brilliant job wallpapering for us in our new home and we are so happy with the result. We had actually had another person start this job prior to finding Anthony, so the first thing we needed to do was assess whether he could continue on from the half started job! Anthony took his time to assess it and went through several different approaches he could take, outlining the pros and cons of each one. He made sure to align each one back to the budget and to let me know where I stood. I felt instantly comfortable asking for his opinion, and trusted that he was telling me truly what would have the best result, and not just what would make him the most money. In fact he offered in the end to do the more complicated job for the same money he originally quoted, as he wanted to be sure that the finished job was something that he would be happy to put his name to. He was clean, punctual, respectful and communicated quickly and clearly if changes needed to be made. He clearly took pride in his work and you can tell the difference. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend and would definitely use again if we do more wallpapering!! Thanks Anthony :)

    Super happy with Anthony and his team for the work he did with our gym fit out. Not only was the work he did top notch, he was super accomodating with working in with other trades during the 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.
