    We used SOG to repaint all the inside, and some parts of the outside of our home in Safety Beach which was a tired 1980's cream color. Debbie was wonderful to deal with, easy to talk to, friendly and down to earth with great ideas on what to do. Her team sons Callum and Ben were always friendly and polite and the whole team were very hardworking. Debbie squeezed our house in between other jobs and got an amazing amount work done in a very short time frame. Our house was not an easy one to do with many tight angular corners etc. The SOG team did all walls, ceilings of the whole house, garage and outside sections. They removed doorknobs and shelves, sanded down walls, filled in holes, taped it all up and laid protective film which are big jobs in themselves. Great attention to detail. Pricing was fair and reasonable and they are insured. It was always an easy and pleasant experience dealing with Debbie and SOG. We will definitely use them again in the future and highly recommend the SOG as your local friendly family painters.

    Dear Deb, Callum & Ben, Thanks for helping transform our tired old Victorian style home into a fresh and timeless result we were looking to achieve. We are totally thrilled with the outcome - Thanks 😁 You showed a strong passion & care by persisting to prepare the old surfaces to achieve the desired finish & despite the challenging conditions during the cold winter months & the extra time needed to complete the work, you stayed true and pushed through the obstacles. You were approachable and always flexible with ideas and subsequent changes and variations allowing the project to evolve effectively which ultimately further improved the results. We appreciated the advice and technical support all along the way regarding product choices and finishes using certain paints, again showing your care factor & desire to see a great outcome. Above all this, we have made some great friends, you were all just such lovely people to be around and we look forward to seeing you again for our next project or a nice whiskey if you are in the area. Cheers and sincere thanks ! Regards John & Romayne

    My initial contact with Debbie made the process of obtaining a quote for the updating and repairs to my tired weatherboard house in Rye a pleasure. Callum and Ben came when promised, worked hard, understood budget restrictions and were open to more jobs I'd forgotten being added. They were unfailingly pleasant and polite and attentive to my requests. The house looks great and I am happy to recommend them

    Cal &. Ben did a great painting job on our picket fence. Their attention to detail is next level and they covered even the hard to get to places, working around the plants in adjacent beds. Our fence is a stand-out now. They are polite, highly professional, and I couldn’t recommend them more highly for your painting jobs.

    Strokes of Genius did the most wonderful work on our home exterior. Debbie and Callum are true perfectionists with a fantastic work ethic. They transformed our ugly bricks into a work of art by rendering with a new product that has a little more texture and we LOVE IT. They stained our new decks and painted all the windows in a dark grey which really compliments the render. They really are geniuses! If we could give them 10 stars we would! Thank you guys from M and J. 🏆🎨🏆

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.
