    Our experiences with Sergio & his team were first class. We have no hesitation in recommending him for any painting job, big or small, interior or exterior. Our exterior paint job transformed the look of our home. The work on the interior was also first rate. Sergio communicates well, has a great team and ensures you are entirely satisfied with his work. We'll be getting him back whenever a paint job is required.

    Sergio was professional, efficient and took the time needed to get the details of our indoor painting job correct. After our initial quote he called back to discuss alternative paint finishes after talking to the brand rep. He and his team were friendly and able to get the job finished quickly and to an excellent standard. Thanks Sergio!

    I’m not usually one to leave reviews, but Sergio and his team were fantastic. They just finished repainting the interior of our home and did an amazing job. Sergio is super efficient and has a great eye for detail. They took the time to cover everything carefully, and I felt totally comfortable leaving them in the house while we were out working during the week. Very trustworthy and professional, highly recommend

    We are returning customers of Sergio, who recently painted the full interior and exterior of our older four-bedroom weatherboard home. His communication and attention to detail throughout the entire process were excellent. While on site, Sergio and his team delivered outstanding workmanship, and we couldn’t fault the quality. Highly recommended.

    Sergio and his staff painted the exterior of our weatherboard home. They were professional, easy to deal with, considerate of us, and they delivered an excellent job. Most importantly, they spent appropriate time on preparation work (scraping, sanding, filling etc), so that the paint work looks the best. Thoroughly recommend Proficient Coats, we will be using them again.

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.
