    Glen & his team painted the interior of our home and re-stained our kitchen cupboards. They were always punctual, polite and tidy. They always left their gear tidy so we could continue living in our home. Their attention to detail was top-notch. This included multiple coats on our living area ceiling until Glen was happy with the end result. We are extremely happy with the job and do not hesitate in recommending them.

    Glen and the Team did a very good job painting the house exterior in 2024. I got them back for some interior painting. As before, the job was well organized, no issues, and a top rate result.

    We recently had our home painted by Prowse’s Painting, and couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, Glen and his team demonstrated an unwavering commitment to quality and professionalism. The attention to detail in their work was impressive. Every surface was meticulously prepared, and the acrylic render application was flawless, leaving us with a stunning finish that has transformed our home. It's clear that the Prowse’s Painting team takes immense pride in their craftsmanship. Beyond the excellent quality of the work, we were particularly impressed by their communication. Glen kept us well-informed throughout the entire project, providing regular updates on progress and always being available to answer any questions we had. This level of transparency was incredibly reassuring and made the whole process stress-free. To top it all off, they completed the entire project well within the scheduled timeframe, which was a huge bonus for us. It's rare to find a service that delivers on all fronts, but Prowse’s Painting truly did. Overall, we were thrilled with our experience and the beautiful outcome.

    Prowse's Painting recently spent 2 days repairing my old roof. Glen, the owner, has also previously repaired internal water damage in my house. Glen is the ultimate perfectionist. On both occasions, his team were truly professional: they arrived on time and they worked efficiently and in good spirit. It was a pleasure to do business with Glen. And, his prices are reasonable for Canberra.

    Glen and his 2 fantastic young painters have completed 2 rendered house exteriors for us this year. They fix what others say can't be done! They are professional, meticulous, clean, and very pleasant to have around. And they are not even the most expensive. Can't recommend them any more highly.

    Glen was on time when he attended our home to provide us with a quote for the job. The quote arrived as promised. Glen and his team turned up on time every day when the job was underway. To a person they were always courteous, professional and respectful of us and our property. Glen was happy to attend to small ad hoc jobs 'on the fly' and do each of those to an exceptionally high standard. The overall result is fantastic! I definitely recommend Prowse's Painting. They are a first-class operation!

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.
