1Pricing & Quotes

Every project is different, so the price depends on the size of the area, the condition of the surfaces, the type of paint, and the amount of prep work required. We provide free, detailed written quotes so you know exactly what you're paying before we start. As a rough guide, a single room might range from $400–$1,200 and a full house exterior from $2,000–$15,000+. Call us on 0400 450 097 or request a quote online and we'll come out and give you an accurate price.

Yes, we offer colour consultation and advice as part of our service. With 18+ years of experience, we can help you choose colours that work with your space, lighting, and style. We can also work with any colours you've already chosen.

2About The Job

It depends on the scope. A single room might take 1–2 days including prep. A full house interior could take 1–2 weeks. Exterior jobs vary with weather and surface condition. We'll give you a clear timeline as part of your quote and keep you updated throughout the project.

We'd really appreciate it if you could move the smaller, lighter items out of the way before we arrive, but don't worry about the larger, heavy furniture, we'll take care of moving that ourselves. We'll cover it with drop sheets to protect it, and put it back in place when we're done. Just let us know if anything is particularly fragile or valuable and we'll take extra care.

Absolutely. We offer full plastering services including new walls, repairs, patching, and cornice work. Great paintwork starts with great preparation, and we do both in-house so the quality is seamless from surface to finish.

It depends on our current schedule and the size of your project. Smaller jobs can often be started within a week or two. Larger projects may need to be booked further in advance. Get in touch and we'll give you a realistic start date.

Interior paints are formulated for washability, low odour, and a smooth decorative finish. Exterior paints contain additional UV blockers, fungicides, and flexible resins to withstand sun, rain, salt, and temperature changes. Using the right product for the right surface is essential, and we always do.
