Why Perth homes need a local approach

Most Perth homes are double brick with set plaster inside, render or face brick outside, and tile or Colorbond on the roof. That changes how walls crack and paint fails, so residential painting in Perth needs its own preparation.

Perth also has some of the highest UV in the country, dark roofs pass 60°C in summer, and coastal suburbs get daily salt. We use UV-stable paints, flexible coatings for brick and coastal-rated primers where your home needs them.

How we quote and run your job

Four steps, whether it is one bedroom or the whole house.

01 On-site inspection
We inspect the actual surfaces: what is failing, why, what repair it needs and what access the job requires.
02 Written scope and fixed price
What is included and excluded, which coatings and how many coats. One fixed figure, usually sent within 48 hours.
03 Preparation, then paint
Filling, sanding, priming and repairs come first. On most Perth homes this is more than half the labour.
04 Walk-through and hand back
We walk the finished job with you and do touch-ups before we leave. The site is cleaned daily.

What your quote should tell you

A single number on one page is impossible to compare. A useful quote states four things.

Coats. Two over sound paint is standard. Three over bare plaster, patching or a light colour over dark.

Preparation. If crack repair, sanding and priming are not listed, they are not priced.

Products, by name. Coastal walls, wet areas and roofs each need a different system.

Exclusions. Roof coating, structural repair, rendering and rot are separate jobs.

Registration matters in WA

WA requires painters to be registered with the Building Services Board for work above a set value. We are a registered painting contractor, WA painter licence 7956. Ask any painter for their number before you accept a quote.

Residential painting questions

It depends on the size of the job, the condition of the existing paint and how much door and trim work is included. Condition often moves the price more than size does. We inspect first, then give you a fixed written price. Our house painters page explains what drives the cost of a full repaint.

Inside, any time of year. Outside, October to April is easiest because Perth is reliably dry. We avoid direct afternoon summer sun, which dries the surface too fast and leaves lap marks, so we follow the shade around the house. Our exterior painting page covers timing in full.

Yes, there is no minimum job size. Plenty of our residential work is a single room, a front elevation, a garage door or a fence run. Every quote works the same way: on-site inspection, written scope and a fixed price. For single rooms, see interior painting.

Public liability at minimum, plus workers compensation for anyone they bring onto your property. Ask for certificates of currency, not a verbal promise. Each is one page naming the insurer and the expiry date. For strata painting, managing agents usually want them on file before work is awarded.
