    Earlier this year, Kory helped us repaint our home, inside and out. His work is exceptional and his professionalism, clear communication and warm and friendly personality made him an absolute pleasure to work with. He went above and beyond, to deliver us a home that felt completely transformed. We have now returned to Kory to help us paint our new brickwork fence. Highly recommend Kory and his team!

    I highly recommend Far North Painters. Kory recently painted my roof, and after having issues in the past with paint peeling (from a different painter). I was reluctant to have it painted again, but Kory did a great job. He takes much care, nothing is too much trouble. He is efficient, reliable and takes pride in his work. End result is an excellent job.

    Highly recommend Kory, and his team. Kory was very patient in helping me choose the colours I wanted, and very professional and consultative throughout the process.

    The guys were so good, nothing was too much trouble and they did a great job painting the outside of our house, which is high set and not an easy site. Used Haymes (Aussie company) paint, what’s not to like? Competitive quote completed in a timely manner. I couldn’t fault them. Highly recommended.

    It was an absolute pleasure having Kory and his team painting the inside walls and ceilings in our house. Kory was prompt responding to the initial phone call, providing the quote quickly. The paint job went super smooth, they always cleaned up after themselves at the end of the day, they were very helpful with moving furniture and back etc. I could not be happier. Thank you so much. 👌🏼😊

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.
