What is the cost to paint exterior of house in Australia?

The cost of painting a home varies on several factors including the state of condition of the building’s substrate – i.e. new building vs one that requires a great deal of repair before painting. Other factors include whether the building needs washing, rendering fixes, and the access of the property. Does it need special height equipment or can the work be done from the ground level. 

How much does it cost to paint a house interior?

As a general rule of thumb, it will cost anywhere from $250 to $400 per room, depending on the size of the room, to paint. It also depends on whether you want a standard paint job, special finishes, and the condition of the walls i.e. does it need repair and lots of surface preparation before painting?  The more rooms you need to be painted in a single job, the less the cost per room will be in the end.

What is the best exterior house paint?

We are a Dulux accredited painter so we only use Dulux products and use Dulux methodology to prepare surfaces and apply the coating system. 

How to choose exterior paint colours for your house?

Apart from looking at colour trends, you should consider, is the substrate right for dark or deep hues, or will it get too dirty with an off-white? What suits the surrounding environment? Will the colour last the test of time? What colour are the other features of the building such as window and door frames? 

Do you provide a warranty with your work?

Yes, we provide a 5-year workmanship warranty that warrants we will repair any work that is a result of our workmanship. There is also a 15-year warranty on Dulux Weathershield paints.

What Our Clients Say

  • I have worked with Dave for about 5 years and have always found him to be professional, diligent and capable. Dave has a great deal of knowledge and passion for his work, ensuring at all times that he or his employees are working to his high standards, with no compromise.

    Peter Schooley
    Director, Touchstone Construction Services
  • I am pleased to recommend David Geoghegan and his team of painters from Modern Decor. Their workmanship is of a high standard, and they are a professional, reliable outfit.

    Angus Urquhart
    Anchor Building Company
  • We are so happy we choose MDS. Not only did the job finish ahead of time, but the work that was carried out was also amazing. Great attention to detail.  

    Home Owner Belrose
  • MDS was very honest and professional, they did an amazing job on my house. Would definitely recommend their company if you want a professional finish to your interiors. 

    Home Owner Bronte
  • Very happy with all the work inside and out. Great team of workers. Very prompt and organised. Highly recommended.

    Home Owner Manly
  • David and his team were incredible to work with. At short notice, and initially with only photos and floor plan, they provided a quote and locked us in for painting our new house. David was upfront & clear about changes to the quote and scope of work initially, and through the job ( over 2 weeks!). They also did some extras that we hadn’t agreed and they didn’t charge us for them. The quality of work and attention to detail couldn’t be faltered. True perfectionists, insisting on doing extra bits & pieces for us because they wanted to leave the job immaculate.
    We have already recommended David & his team to friends and family, and will continue to do so. I hope we get the chance to work with them again!

    Georgina Sanderson
  • Dave and his crew were awesome from the outset. On time, professional, friendly and had a great ‘can do’ attitude. They were realistic with their time expectations and worked with other trades seamlessly. One aspect I really valued was their tidy up, meticulous! Would use again in a heartbeat. Thanks MDS!
