    We were very impressed by Mark's work at our home. He installed new shelves in our kitchen cupboard, a rotating shelf in our corner cupboard as well as replacing the hinge on the corner cupboard. Mark also fixed our outdoor stairs which had badly deteriorated, with new timber and concrete. All his work was very neat and professional. Just as important, Mark was clear and helpful in his communication. I would completely trust him for future work at our place.

    I highly recommend Mark as a reliable, knowledgeable and resourceful service expert. He helped us hang several paintings and decorations in an older home with complicated wall material, and was then able to help with a few other areas such as repairing dish washer drawers and leaking washing machine pipes. He is open to feedback and brought creative solutions to tricky repair challenges.

    Mark is a lovely guy and was very nice to work with. He discussed all aspects of the job with us to make sure we ended up with what we wanted and adapted things along the way well. The job also took longer than expected and Mark very kindly took that into consideration in his pricing. He also cleaned up the site immaculately…which is so rare these days!! Thanks Mark.

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.
