    We couldn’t be happier with Luke and his team at Performance Painting. What started as an interior paint job quickly turned into a full transformation of our property — they’ve now painted the interior, exterior, roof, gutters, garage and shed… there’s practically nothing left for them to paint! The quality of their workmanship is outstanding. Our home looks absolutely amazing both inside and out. Nothing was ever a problem for Luke and his team — they were professional, flexible and more than willing to accommodate all of our requests and last-minute amendments. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process, and we really appreciated their reliability and attention to detail. They even came back to complete touch-ups inside after we had new lights and fixtures installed, which speaks volumes about their commitment to delivering a perfect finish. We highly recommend Luke and Performance Painting to anyone looking for quality workmanship and exceptional service. Five stars all the way!

    Luke and his crew did a great job painting our very old (cracked and decrepit) house inside and out. They were early for work each morning and left the place clean and tidy when they left in the afternoons. The whole process was stress free and painless. I would highly recommend their services. They were clear with communication and very thorough in their attention to detail. Now my place looks brand new. I still can't believe how quickly they did all the work. 100% thrilled. Thanks guys!

    Luke and his team have just finished an exterior painting project on our heritage listed cottage in South Hobart. Performance Painting were recommended to us by friends who were impressed by their professional manner and highly skilled workmanship. We are absolutely thrilled with the painting they did for us, from the very prompt and detailed quote Luke provided, the brilliant colour matching he arranged for the lime wash and particular unnamed shade of heritage green we wanted for windows and front door, to the exceptional quality of their work. It was a very enjoyable experience having Luke and his team at our home. I highly recommend Performance Painting.

    Luke and the team at Performance Painting are the best painters in Hobart. They have completed several jobs for us over the years: a full exterior repaint on a 1950s weatherboard house, almost a full interior repaint, picket fence, and deck. Luke has always been great to deal with - friendly, knowledgeable, skilled and reliable. The quality of their work is impeccable with great attention to detail, and such a clean job site. Highly recommend, these guys are fantastic!

    I found Luke of Performance Painting through Dulux Preferred Painters. He was so professional in his on line and phone communication.His quote was delivered in a timely fashion and was competitive with others I received. Luke has now completed the work as quoted, and it has been performed to the high standard I expected. It was finished in the time frame advised and the cleanup following job completion was much appreciated, especially the re-placement of furniture. I highly recommend Luke for any painting required.

    Performance Painting have just painted my ceiling in the lounge room and three cupboards plus the walls and window frames in the kitchen. A brilliant job has been completed! The work done has been done so well. It is a 1915 home, so the detail was not easy, and it was done beautifully.

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.
