    Professional painters, quality work, reliable and efficient. I asked for a last minute complete paint job of a 3 bedroom house with toilet, bathroom, kitchen and dining. They came straight away to quote then started the very next day and completed the job in 2 days. Definitely recommend them for future work. Easy to deal with and very responsive.

    John and the team from Darwin Argos Painting are absolutely great. We recently had our house painted by Darwin Argos Painting, after I had made several enquiries with other painters. I physically went and viewed a house that was being painted by Argos painters and was very impressed with the care they take and the finished product, which was the same result with our house. The price for the painting was also very reasonable compared to other quotes!

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.
Does Darwin Argos Painting have a verified ABN?
Yes. Darwin Argos Painting has completed ABN verification on SureQuote.
