    Very happy with the service I received from Paintpal. Fred was professional and meticulous in every aspect of his painting, which ensured I got a superior quality finish. I would not hesitate to use Fred and his team for all my future painting needs.

    After 4 quotations, Paintpal is the most competitive for exterior painting of weatherboards for a upper storey house. Fred and his team are polite, have very good manners and are friendly. Fred did a close colour match and gave us photos of the exsiting condition of our weatherboards (which were quite bad for the west facing part). He gave advice for 3 coats instead of 2, and we decided to go ahead with his advice. The quote was readjusted, which was still reasonably priced. We were informed at every stage of the project through phone texts, without us needing to ask about the team's movements. So communication from Fred exceeded our expectations. They were on time each day for the project. Service and work quality also went beyond expectations as Fred takes pride in doing a good paint job. The photos attached are evidence of the Team's work. Full marks for reliability, communication and quality work. Highly recommended. Thanks, Fred, Cyrus and other members of Paintpal.

    Fred and his team completed our house on time and the final result was outstanding - exceeded my expectations. Fred was polite and so easy to deal with, communication was great and his advice on helping us choose a paint colour and finish was welcomed. There were quite a few patch ups require due to getting lights changed prior to painting & Fred was able to complete these which meant one less trade to organise. I would highly recommend Fred & Paintpal Painting

    When we were first looking for painting and plastering services, we were looking for someone who was pleasant to work with and who cared about doing a good quality job for us. We got all this and more with Paintpal. Fred and his team went above and beyond for us. We had a difficult property to work with - it is older and had not been well maintained by the previous owner. There were lots of opportunities to take short cuts but Fred never did - always taking the option that would achieve the best and most immaculate result. Fred was very responsive and responded to us late after hours and on weekends. He was extremely patient with us, even when we changed the scope many times and (in our ignorance) sampled primary colours directly on to the wall which meant he had to do extra sanding and apply extra coats which he kindly did not charge us for. Thank you Fred and Team - we strongly recommend Paintpal for all plastering and painting services!

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.
How do I get a quote from Paintpal?
