What does a painting service include?

Usually, painting services will include the full process from setup and preparation to painting and final clean up. Some common painting services include:

House painting

House painting services involve a range of tasks to transform both the interiors and exteriors of your home. Expert house painters can walk you through the entire painting process–from colour consultation and surface preparation to paint application.

  • Interior painting - Painting your interior walls will give your space a fresh new look, help reduce cooking smells, control mould, and remove fingerprints and marks. A professional painter with a Certificate IV license will choose paints to suit the style and function of your kitchen, bedroom, ceiling, or bathroom. Preparation starts with removing or covering furniture and putting down drop sheets, along with washing any wall surfaces. Your painter will repair any surface holes then sand rough areas and prime if needed. To paint walls and ceilings, your painter will start by cutting in with a small brush, before covering the remaining surfaces with a roller brush. They may apply 2-3 coats to create a smooth, even surface. Finally, your painter will clean up by washing out the brushes and rollers, folding up drop any cloths, and removing the tape from windows and outlets.
  • Exterior painting - It’s important to maintain paintwork for your home’s exterior, not only for your home’s value and first impressions but because it’s constantly exposed to the elements. You’ll need to repaint weatherboards every few years, plus fences, gutters, window-sills, and doorways every 5-10 years to maintain a fresh look. When you hire an exterior painter, they’ll usually sand back and prep the area, taking off any cracked or peeling paint, and then prime and paint the surfaces. They’ll choose a paint designed for your climate and structure to ensure it lasts. Once they’re finished, your painter will inspect for any missed spots and check the edges are all neat.

Graffiti and murals

Your business, nursery, or feature wall will stand out from the crowd with a graffiti mural, or larger-than-life artwork. If you have a design ready to go, your painter can enlarge this onto your walls, or design a custom piece for your home or office. Your painter will prepare the surface by cleaning it carefully, putting down drop sheets, and painting a base colour if needed. Then they’ll get to work on your artwork, using a ladder to reach each part of the painting. They’ll likely reference an existing drawing or photo throughout the process to ensure they have every detail right. Once they’re finished, they’ll pack up their equipment, wash out any brushes used, and remove the drop sheet. Some artwork may be finished in just a few hours, while larger, highly detailed pieces may take weeks.

Paint stripping 

Many painters are experienced in paint removal, too. Since paint stripping is generally a messy and time-consuming job, it’s a good idea to outsource it to a professional. Some common reasons for paint stripping include new colour for your interior doors, removing wood stain from kitchen cabinets so you can update the colour, or stripping cracked paint from a surface so it’s ready for repainting. Your professional painter can also help with graffiti removal and repainting, as well. Depending on the surface, they’ll use a mixture of scraping tools, sandpaper, and chemicals to remove as much paint as is needed, ensuring proper safety and ventilation throughout.

We need some painting down in a staged approach (as furniture will need to be moved). There will also need to be a small amount of plastering due to windows being removed. Doesn’t need to be a professional but someone who has painted before or a. Apprentice would be fabulous!

So I want to write a fantastic review because Joseph has done a great job painting the rooms I needed done - he is tidy, lets me know when he will be at the house, provided advice on colours and did a very professional job - but I want him to do more painting work and don’t want anyone else to engage him! 🤪

Paint my walls from grey to white

$1,000

Yarralumla ACT, Australia

5th Oct 2024

The walls of my Tiny House (4 little rooms, about 60 sqm altogether) are deeply grey and I would love them to become white. The height of the walls differs from about 2m to about 3,80 I think. I don‘t have colour yet and would prefer high-quality natural colour if you can recommend one. Of course I will happily pay the price for it. The rooms are only little furbished.

Nicos work is simply PHANTASTIC! First and foremost: He was the only one who was truly honest to me when it came to the price (work& colour) of repainting my Tiny House. Second: I couldn‘t be happier with the result! Third: Nico is decent, kind, polite and finished his work even EARLIER than announced. Will definitely come back to him!

Hackett ACT, Australia

27th Sep 2024

I need someone to supply, cut, paint and install quarter-round trim on the floor next to the skirting boards. They need to be installed in two rooms: the first requires approximately 13 meters of quarter rounds installed; the second room requires approximately 15 meters. They need to be painted but we can supply the (white) paint. The photos below show the current skirting boards without and with the quarter rounds.

Good communicator and punctual. He did a good job but scratched our wooden floorboards, which could have been avoided.
