    What else can I say when there are already 40 reviews with 5* ratings!? We were originally referred to James when looking into installing new windows; James was referred for the painting aspect. We decided against new windows, but asked James to quote for repainting the exterior of our house (which was long overdue), including stripping the lead paint. James did exactly what he said he would - turned up on time and provided a quote back to us. He was patient and happy to work with us with different options. The price was similar to another contractor we obtained. But we ended up engaging Bartons because we had a good feeling about James and are delighted that we did. James & Chad turned up 7:00AM prompt every day over a 6 week duration and communicating with them was easy. Their work ethic, quality, politeness, and professionalism is second to none! A real friendly team with a great sense of humour as well. We had other works going on at our place and James was happy to provide additional advice, unrelated to the job. Overall, we couldn't be happier with the job they did and wouldn't even contemplate using anyone else in the future. We would have no hesitation in recommending them.

    We had James and the team paint our Queenslander home in Bardon recently. The house was in need of a lot of prep - sanding, filling, and we were going for a complete colour change. James provided great advice on colours, and we couldn’t be more delighted with how it’s turned out. It feels like we have a new house! We feel proud coming home to it every day. The finishes, attention to detail and professionalism are all excellent. Special mention to Chad and Jake who were on site daily, and were polite, courteous, tidy and did a fantastic job. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend!

    James did an outstanding job, colour matching for us in a room which didn't need all walls painted. Not easy to do! I can't see where the new starts and joins the old! Highly professional, polite and doesn't waste time. Will most definitely be calling on him in the future

    Recently had James, Seth & Lachlan paint our house exterior. Render, timber and metal fences. Super impressed by everything to do with Barton’s Painting & Decorating. Communication, quality of work to tidying up at the end of the day. Also the great care they took the time to shut gates to help secure the dogs. Looking forward to having the interior done next. Would highly recommend very professional.

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.
