    From start to finish Alex was fantastic. We had some issues with our kitchen renovation company but Alex was always reliable. He worked around them, and the plasterer, electrician and floor layer, tolerating each delay with a smile and calm manner. The work is very professional and I am so happy with the results! Don't have too many photos because we are still unpacking and waiting for the kitchen to be finished! I will upload more when I do. My daughter was so happy with her pretty pink room!

    Great paint work. A great professional. The turn around time from quote to completion of work to a very high standard was best I’ve experienced. This is the second time I have used Alex and he again has done a fantastic job. Eye for detail and perfection in painting.

    Alex did a great job painting the exterior of our house. Spent lot of time on prepping all the surfaces and with two rounds of paint, it looked amazing. Will use his service soon again.

    Alex was an extremely hard worker who took no shortcuts and in fact went over and above to make our house look great. Highly recommended

    I pre-booked Alex negotiating a week that would suit us both. He kept to the start time, patiently talked through colour options (loved that he tapped into my need for bold colour), kept me up to date on progress, kept to budget, and most of all left me with pleasing paint work. I recommend Alex at Tixi, and certainly I would use his services again.

    Alex did a great job on our house from start to finish. He painted all the perimeter fencing on our property plus retaining walls and a detailed pergola. He managed around challenging winter weather to meet our deadlines and his communication was excellent. He was thorough with his preparation and clean up and was flexible with changes. We hope to get Alex back to paint the exterior of our home in the future. Highly recommend his 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 Tixi Painting?
