    Hi, I recently had Barker-Whittle paint the exterior of my house. I am very pleased with the result. The team was professional, with a strong work ethic, taking pride and care in their work. I chose to have my front door painted vs the previous varnish finish and the result is beautiful. Thank you Barker-Whittle

    Barker-Whittle recently painted the outside of our house in Guilderton, couldn’t recommend enough, communication was outstanding and answered our query’s promptly. They offered and recommended colour choices which we loved the end result. We weren’t on site at all but they left it how they found it, very professional, fast working and reliable. Thanks again for going the extra mile…

    I recently had Barker Whittle paint and repair the cladding on our house, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! The job was incredibly challenging, with tight areas and intricate details requiring absolute precision, and their team consisting of Keith and Hailee handled it with professionalism and skill. From the start, they demonstrated clear communication and a commitment to excellence. They approached every aspect of the project with care, ensuring that even the most difficult spots were painted to perfection. The attention to detail and the quality of their work exceeded my expectations. Not only was the final outcome flawless, but the team also worked efficiently and respectfully, leaving the space clean and tidy every day. Barker Whittle truly went above and beyond to deliver a fantastic result. If you’re looking for a professional painting company capable of handling complex projects with ease and precision or simply a fresh coat of paint, then I highly recommend Barker Whittle. Thank you for transforming our home!

    Thank you for restoring our faith in tradesmen! Four fabulous men working for 2 weeks painting the inside of our home that had not been touched (paint wise) for 15 years. Somone said "It's all in the preparation". These men thoroughly prepped our home from ceiling to floor and it sure has paid off. Their professionalism: exemplary, every single day they turned up on time, parked without causing any street dramas, vaccuumed up any mess, made hallways & walkways free, enabled kitchen accessibility, talked to the cat and the birds, taped off areas to be protected, and protected the floor when scaffolding used ... these blokes did everything. They looked out for each other, made sure they were safe, conversed and overall enjoyed each others' company as did we. We didn't see any of the men making or taking mobile phone calls, they were solid workers. Our home looks amazing. We love it and we loved having you guys working for us. Yes, we will use Barker Whittle again. Thanks Ryan, Luke, Jayden, Keith, Dylan and Nolan - the A+ team.

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.
