    Highly recommend Attila, he is very meticulous and does a great job. If you want the job done right and great customer service then Attila is the man for you.

    Attila has just completed painting both the interior and exterior of our two storey house. He carefully prepared all surfaces to be painted, his work was meticulous, and completed to an uncompromising high standard. The site was always left clean and tidy and I don't think one drop of paint was ever spilt! He was invariably pleasant and good humoured. I would have no hesitation in using him for any future projects of ours and I unreservedly recommend him.

    Attila repainted the interior of our home and we could not have asked for a better planned, professionally executed and well-finished job. His preparation was extensive, his attention to detail throughout was spot-on. Attila is a capable and personable guy and we have already booked him in the Spring to come back and do the exterior. Highly recommended.

    Attila's work is impeccable, and his commitment to customer service is supreme. He recently carried out some painting and repair works for me in the tight confines of an apartment hallway and bathroom. The works were completed on time, on budget and to a perfect standard. His clean up was also flawless. Couldn't recommend Attila more highly.

    Atilla has just finished painting the challenging interior of our house with it's solid walls, which are prone to cracking and movement. His preparation and finished paintwork were meticulous. He was always accommodating, considerate, and courteous. He would always keep us informed of what his plans were, in regard to arrival times and approach to the work. He is always good humoured. I would happily recommend him as a painter.

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 The 3rd Coat?
