    We recently had A Better Finish paint the exterior and roof of our home in Manly, QLD, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. Rob runs the company very professionally and with care, and the workmanship speaks for itself. The finish is refined, consistent and of the highest quality, and it has completely lifted the look of our home. We’re absolutely delighted with the final result and would gladly recommend A Better Finish to anyone wanting a first-class paint job.

    We recently had Rob and his team paint our interior following some renovations. The job was not straight forward with having to repair another painters poor work, but Rob took the time to quote in detail and at a reasonable price. He would regularly check in with us to ensure we were satisfied with how it was progressing. His team were very polite and hard working. Any concerns we had were promptly attended to and nothing was too much trouble. Overall we are very pleased with the result and would not hesitate to use A Better Finish again.

    Rob, Isaac & team were great!!! After recently purchasing an older home that had bright turquoise trim throughout, dark cream walls & a purple bathroom, they completely transformed our home into the beautiful white interior we wanted. I had no idea how many different whites there were, but Rob very patiently guided us through all the different options and the team did a fantastic job. Would 100% recommend & will be calling them again when we're ready to paint the exterior. Thanks again guys!

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.

Yes. A Better Finish currently shows an active trade licence on SureQuote.
