Exteriors, interiors and Colorbond roofs across Newcastle and Lake Macquarie, prepped properly and finished in two coats. Every surface and every coat is on your written quote.
Pick a colour for the sheet
NSW contractor licence Lic. 000000C (demo)
Five kinds of job, one crew. Most of what you pay for is the prep you never see: washing, scraping, filling, sanding and priming, so the colour you chose is still sound in ten years.
The coast is hard on paint. Salt air chalks a finish, the westerly sun lifts it off north walls, and a wet winter finds every gap in old caulking. We pick the primer and the paint for the surface and the side of the house it's on, and we tell you why on the quote. If a board is rotten or a gutter is rusted through, we show you before we paint over it.
The same four steps on every job, inside or out. Scroll and watch the room change.
One of us comes out, walks every room and every side of the house, measures up and notes the repairs: the cracked cornice, the blown render, the soft board under the window. Your written quote lists each surface, each coat and the paint, so nothing on the bill is a surprise.
Furniture goes to the middle and gets covered, floors get drop sheets, switch plates come off. Then we wash, scrape, fill and sand, seal stains so they don't bleed through, and prime anything bare. It's slow, and it's why the finish lasts.
Every edge against the ceiling, the trims and the windows is cut in with a brush, not taped and hoped. Then two full coats go on, rolled in the same direction, with the drying time on the tin respected between them.
We take the drop sheets up, put the plates and furniture back and walk every room with you in daylight. Anything you point at gets touched up before we pack the van. Leftover paint is labelled by room, for later.
Six jobs from this year across Newcastle and Lake Macquarie, and what each owner asked for. Some wanted a whole house turned around before a sale, some wanted one wall done properly. Each card says what we did and how the finish was chosen. Sample projects: this is a demo.
Two areas, nine suburbs with their own page in time, and our base in Adamstown between them, so we're rarely more than half an hour from your place.
Being close matters on a paint job. We're on site early, we can come back for a touch-up without charging you travel, and we know which streets cop the salt and which ones sit in the damp. Outside these suburbs, ring us first. If we can do the job well, we'll quote it.
Sample reviews: this is a demo, and a real client's own reviews replace these at launch.
They taped off every window and light switch, and when they left you couldn't find a drop on the floorboards. I was nervous about such a dark colour, but they put a sample up first and the finished wall looks even better.
The quote listed every coat and every surface. The bill matched it to the dollar. They found a rotten board on the south side, showed me, and fixed it before painting. The house looks new from the street.
Our Colorbond roof had gone chalky. Now it looks new, and they cleaned the gutters while they were up there. They rang the day before to say when they'd arrive, and finished the day they said they would.
For our jobs, a full exterior repaint of a single-storey house usually lands between $9,000 and $18,000 + GST, and a three-bedroom interior between $7,000 and $14,000 + GST. What moves the price is prep: flaking paint, repairs and how much cutting-in there is. Your written quote lists every surface and every coat, so you see where the money goes before we start. If the prep turns up something the quote didn't cover, like rotten timber behind a board, we stop, show you and price it before doing any more.
Yes. We come out, look at every wall, measure up and leave you a written quote, usually within two business days of the visit. There's no charge for it and you're not committed to anything. Bring your colour ideas, or a photo of a house you like, and we'll bring sample pots and tell you how each colour behaves in your light.
For residential painting worth more than $5,000 in labour and materials (including GST), yes: NSW requires a contractor licence to do, contract for or advertise that work. Stand-alone interior painting contracts have been exempt since 2015. Our licence number is on every page of this site. Ask any painter for theirs before you sign, and check it on the NSW Fair Trading licence register, which takes a minute online.
A single-storey exterior is usually five to eight working days, weather allowing, and a three-bedroom interior three to five. Prep is most of that time. The start date and the number of days are on your quote. If rain stops us on an outside job, we tell you that morning and move the days along rather than painting onto a damp wall.
We move it to the middle of each room and cover it, put drop sheets over the floors, and take down curtains, blinds and switch plates. Anything fragile or heavy, like a piano or a fish tank, we'll ask you about first. Everything goes back where it was. At the end of each day we clean up, close tins and leave the rooms you need usable, so you can live in the house while we work.
All of Newcastle and Lake Macquarie from Adamstown: Merewether, Hamilton, New Lambton, Mayfield and Stockton on the Newcastle side, and Cardiff, Belmont, Toronto and Swansea around the lake. A bit further out? Ring and ask. For bigger jobs, like a full exterior or a strata block, we often travel further, and the quote tells you up front if travel adds anything.
A few lines and a photo or two is enough. We'll ring to book a look, then leave you a written quote with every surface and every coat on it. No obligation, and no follow-up calls chasing you if you decide to wait a while longer.
