Painting a 2 bedroom apartment in prahran

$5

Mario is a real legend! I could not have been happier with the work. From my initial interaction I was impressed with Mario's Knowledge, Professionalism and experience as well as his great work ethic. Mario may not be the cheapest offer you get on airtasker but he is certainly the best! Don't be tempted to go with non professional painters... I made that mistake once and was very disappointed. Mario is a real professional painter not a handyman! He has professional equipment and works with only the highest quality paint. He is not just a professional painter but a professional plasterer as well. He spent 2 days just fixing up the bad work left by the previous handyman who attempted to paint my apartment. Lesson I learnt is: Do the job once and do it properly. The end result is amazing and my apartment looks brand new. Seriously, you get what you pay for. Don't go for anyone else!

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.

Car respray & spray painting

$5

Melbourne VIC, Australia

14th Nov 2024

Front end ideally, the rest of the car is perfect. The front end mainly. which includes bumper, bonnet, guards with blending if needed. or full closed door respray if worth it. Coulor is silver metallic & the car is a bmw e46 coupe. Car is in very good condition. Just had some problems with the previous panel beater who has matched the coulor wrong for the previously painted front end. They used rubbish paint which is peeling and cracking. Very disappointed Looking for a clean decent job at a reasonable fair price, don’t want anyone working for nothing so I understand. I just want a decent off the gun finish. Can do prep work & masking if needed. As I used to work in this line of work. Thanks

Would highly recommend and use again. Great guy, great result. Thank you

Clean white pain from window (from outside) and side of brick building

$350

Windsor VIC 3181, Australia

8th Nov 2024

Hi, I live on Level 2 of a brick building and have accidentally dropped white paint all the way down the side of the building and onto my downstairs neighbour window. I need a service to clean the side of the brick building and the window of my neighbour from white paint. There is not much but it doesn’t wash away with rain. You would need to get all the way up the the second floor window to clean the white paint off the brick wall, then clean the level 1 window and then the brick right underneath the level 1 window (see pics - happy to add some more). I am also happy to provide any cleaning material that is needed from Bunnings however I do not have a ladder.

Great job cleaning up the white paint on the brick wall and window!
