    Pat and his team did an amazing job painting the inside of my house. Pat is a lovely person to deal with, he works with you, and nothing is a problem. The quality of Pat's work is outstanding with great attention to detail. Pat is a hardworking, honest and highly skilled painter who takes great care and pride in his work. I would highly recommend Pat (Peter the Painter) to anyone in need of a painter. He is simply the best! I will continue to use Peter the Painter for any future painting I require, knowing the standard and quality of work I receive will be nothing short of excellent. Congratulations Pat and CJ on the beautiful work you do.

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’m extremely happy with the painting work done by Peter the Painter. Peter did an excellent job painting my house in Holt — the finish is neat, professional, and exactly what I was hoping for. He was punctual, reliable, and took great care in preparing the surfaces and cleaning up afterwards. Communication was clear throughout the job, and he delivered everything on time with no hassles. Highly recommend Peter to anyone looking for a skilled and trustworthy painter.

    We really appreciated that Patrick kindly fitted us in to do just one room recently; he did the whole exterior of the house a few years ago, and we will go back to him with any work to be done in the future. He and CJ were very friendly and efficient, the work was done in less than one day; no fuss, no mess - a friendly and efficient team! Many thanks!

    Pat (aka Peter the Painter) is the best trade we've ever used - the sort you immediately start recommending to every friend you know. He's Dulux accredited, experienced and has an attention to detail you just don't see anymore. The end result on our large 4 bedroom home in Braddon is just beautiful and he fixed things other painters we had in for quotes overlooked, saving us a lot of time and money down the track. We can't sing his praises highly enough. He's just a top bloke with a lot of integrity doing great work. Thanks Pat!

    I engaged Patrick to paint the interior of our unit in Belconnen. I am very happy with my choice. Patrick has provided an amazing service which exceeded my expectations. What I like the most with Patrick is his attention to detail and the pride he takes in his work. Patrick was very easy to communicate with, listened to our requirements, provided advice on colour choice and suggested alternatives. Patrick provided a detailed breakdown of the tasks in his quotation and the cost, which I found was quite reasonable and competitive in comparison with other quotations I received. Patrick is one of those rare old generation tradies who is honest, puts customer satisfaction in the forefront, very friendly, enjoys what he does, and is a thorough professional. In summary I wish to state that I was highly impressed with the painting work done by Patrick and his assistant CJ and the whole interaction I had with Patrick right from getting the quotation to completion of the job. I highly recommend Patrick to anyone who is looking for an honest, skilled, friendly and highly professional painter for a painting job.

    Absolutely fantastic job by Patrick and his team painting the inside of our house. Went above and beyond to make sure every inch of the house was prepared and painted to perfection. Cannot fault any of the work, and they left the place completely tidied and cleaned after they finished. Highly Recommend.

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