Common questions in 3204
How much does it cost to paint a house interior?+
As a rough guide, interior repaints run about $15 to $45 per square metre of floor area, so a standard three-bedroom home often lands between $4,000 and $9,000 depending on ceilings, prep and how many colours. Get the quote itemised across prep, undercoat and topcoats.
How much does exterior house painting cost?+
Exterior painting typically runs $25 to $65 per square metre of surface, so a full single-storey house is commonly $6,000 to $15,000. Double-storey, heavy prep, and render repairs push it higher. The condition of the existing surface is the biggest cost driver.
How long does house painting take?+
A single room is usually a day, a full interior repaint of a three-bedroom home is roughly three to five days, and a full exterior is often one to two weeks including prep and weather delays. Rain stops exterior work, so allow for it in the timeline.
How many coats of paint do I need?+
Most jobs use an undercoat plus two topcoats, which is the standard for an even, durable finish. Strong or dark colours, or painting over a very different colour, often need an extra coat. Ask the painter to quote the number of coats so there are no surprises.
Should I choose the cheapest painting quote?+
Not automatically. The cheapest quote often skimps on preparation, which is where a paint job lives or dies. Compare what each quote includes for washing, filling, sanding and number of coats, and check the painter carries public liability insurance.
