    We recently had the pleasure of working with Up and Downs Painting, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. John was very professional, punctual, and clearly took pride in his work. From the initial quote through to the final walkthrough, everything was handled with care and attention to detail. John done a great job painting our roof also other than painting the inside of our house. The quality of the painting was exceptional — clean lines, smooth finishes, and not a drop of mess left behind. John was respectful of our home, kept the workspace tidy, and completed the job on time as promised. It’s rare to find tradespeople who combine skill, reliability, and great communication so well. What really stood out was their willingness to go the extra mile to ensure we were happy with the result. Nothing felt rushed, and they were happy to answer questions and offer helpful advice along the way. If you’re looking for a painter who delivers top-quality work and an stress-free experience, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Up and Downs Painting. We’re absolutely thrilled with the result.

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.
