Residential painting in Canberra

There is no honest flat rate, because price is driven by the condition of the surfaces as much as the size of the house. Two identical homes can differ substantially if one has sound paintwork and the other has flaking render or water damage. We visit, measure, and give you a fixed written price itemised by area with the products named, so you can see exactly what you are paying for.

A single room is usually a day or two. A full interior repaint of an average Canberra home takes roughly one to two weeks, and a complete interior and exterior repaint two to three weeks. Preparation and repair work is what moves that timeline, which is why we quote a programme rather than a guess.

No. Almost all of our residential work is in occupied homes. We stage the job in sections so you always have somewhere to cook, sleep and sit, use low odour water based products in living areas and bedrooms, and tidy up at the end of every day.

Interiors generally last around ten years, and often longer in low traffic rooms. Exteriors are harder to predict here because of the frost and UV extremes, but seven to ten years is typical for a well prepared job. If paint is chalky, cracking or peeling, it needs attention regardless of age.

Yes. Every quote is free and carries no obligation. We come to the property, assess the surfaces, and send a fixed written price, usually within 48 hours.

We work with the major Australian and international systems, including Dulux, Taubmans, Haymes, Behr, Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams. The right product depends on the substrate and the exposure, and whichever we recommend is named in your quote rather than decided later.

Yes, with some limits. Interior work runs year round. Exterior coatings have minimum application temperatures and will not cure properly in frost, so we schedule exterior work for the milder part of the day or move it to a better window rather than force it.

Yes. Floors, carpet, benchtops and anything staying in the room are covered before a lid comes off. We move what can reasonably be moved and work around anything that cannot.
