    Dearden’s Decorating have just complete a two month paining project at my weatherboard home. Dearden’s had done an excellent job 13 years ago which stood the test of time so it was obvious to engage them again. The attention to detail and quality of the finished product was nothing short of awesome. Throughout the project I was always kept up to date and well informed with everything that was happening. It was a pleasure to have the team here on the job each day as they were both professional and very friendly and obliging. A huge thank you to Stuart, Mario, Kevin, Reece, Shane and Caleb Kevin Cassidy

    We just had painting done throughout the house by Stuart and his team from Deardens Decorating. They did an amazing job. They were super friendly, and tidy! They also helped with moving some of the furniture. They listened to what I wanted and went out of their way to make sure I was happy with the end result. Which I was!

    Exceptional painting service. Owner provided an accurate estimate of the job. He seems really experienced (he is really good at recommending what is needed, where my knowledge is lacking), he was a great communicator and really accommodating (I forgot to mention some tasks on the initial estimate, which he was happy to do and invoice me for). The team have a high attention to detail and the job result was outstanding. Strongly recommend Dearden's Decorating for either indoor or outdoor painting.

    Deardens Decorating have maintained my parents Glen Iris double story, white rendered double brick, classic 100 year old period home for many years, so when it came time to fix up my Spanish mission modern renovated period home to sell when the tenant recently left, even though I was in QLD and could not oversee the work, I knew I could trust Stuart based on my Mum's long term experience, and he and his team have completely excelled themselves, I am very grateful for the quality level of work inside and out, Stuart is very professional, thorough, detailed, and importantly very easy going and a super nice guy to deal with. Can't believe I'm selling my forever house, things change - interstate move, thanks for your help Suart in making our home look new again, Hamish Ross, 11 Kingsley Parade, Carnegie

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.
