    Jamie and the team did an absolutely fantastic job painting and touching up around the external areas of our complex of 11 villas. They spent a week on site and were professional, reliable, and incredibly friendly throughout the whole process. Nothing was too much trouble, and they were always happy to answer questions or help wherever needed. The quality of their work has truly transformed the place — everything looks fresh, clean, and so well finished. You can really see the care and attention to detail they put into the job. We’re so happy with the results that we’re going ahead with a six-monthly maintenance plan to keep everything looking this good. We would highly recommend Jamie and the team to anyone looking for skilled, trustworthy painters who take pride in their work!

    Jamie and his team have just finished the most amazing job on the outside of our old 50 yo besser-brick house and we simply could not be happier with the result! Total attention to detail at every step of the way from repairing old damage to thorough preparation of every surface before a perfect paint finish. Very highly recommended!

    As an interior designer from Melbourne who works on villas in Port Douglas, I have been very happy to have Jamie and his team support my projects. He works well with trades that are sent from Melbourne to work in PD. He is very much a team player working with all the trades and has been immense help to me with contacts and mucking in when I’ve needed additional support. His work is methodical and he and his team are respectful to our clients. He responds well when things change and when the scope of works increases. The outcome of all his work is excellent. It a pleasure to deal with Jamie and his team. Debbie Bryden

    We moved into our home and realised very quickly that repainting was beyond our skill level. Jamie and the team were very knowledgeable and professional. Their advice was valuable and we are very happy with the outstanding outcomes that were achieved. The attention to detail in preparation was impressive and no doubt contributed to the finished project. Jamie is a passionate business owner and really easy to work with. We would engage Jamie and the team again and we would also highly recommend Behind the Seens painting

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.
