    James and his team have just completed painting the interior of our house and we couldn’t be happier. They did a fantastic job! James’s attention to detail was amazing making sure the surfaces was perfect before painting! He is also reasonably priced. Both he and his son were very helpful in every aspect and also helped us putting things back and cleaning up. I will recommend them to anyone needing a painting job! Thanks again guys. 👍 Josie

James provided an on the spot quote which was very reasonable and we were thrilled with the results which were beyond our expectations. The house looked great. We were also impressed with James’s professionalism. He was always punctual, friendly and did what he said. We wouldn’t hesitate to use him again.

    Absolutely brilliant job, very happy with their work. They were referred to us by family that had also used them. Our house that we have just purchased had a lot of cracks in the walls and they did such a good job with the preparation as well. James is a perfectionist and him and his team were a pleasure to deal with. And all at a great price too! Would thoroughly recommend them.

    James and his team did an awesome job painting our farmhouse. They did a lot of prep work to fill in cracks. The house, which is 60 years old, came up looking like new.

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.
Does James Painting and Decorating have a verified ABN?
Yes. James Painting and Decorating has completed ABN verification on SureQuote.
