Top Apartment Painting related questions

Painting a room can take a couple of hours, but this depends. An apartment painting service can take two to four days of work, depending on how big your apartment is and how much work needs to be done. Be sure to ask your Tasker how you can support them during the process to work quickly but efficiently.   

While you can DIY your apartment makeover, hiring a Tasker to paint your apartment is much safer and more efficient. This is because a professional apartment painter has the knowledge and skills to prep and prime walls, mix paints, add coats, repair any damage, fill holes or gaps, and apply a finisher. They are also typically equipped with the necessary tools for the job, including paint rollers and refills, brushes, painter’s tape, and more.

The first thing you want to do is lay drop cloths over carpets, furniture, and other fixtures such as wood and pipes. You may also have to move furniture away from the walls, tape edges, and set up ladders, buckets, and paint pans in areas your Tasker will work. You can ask your Tasker to help you with these efforts.

This depends on a lot of conditions. If your apartment is small and you are allergic to paint fumes or have a history of respiratory conditions, it’s best to sleep somewhere else and wait a day or two after your apartment is painted. If you have a larger apartment only the kitchen or living room is painted, then it may be safe to sleep in your bedroom anyway.

What do apartment painting services include?

Whether your apartment needs a complete makeover or you just want to brighten your space, you can easily book an apartment painting service near you. While the range of skills and services vary among Taskers, here’s what you can expect when you post your task on our platform. 

 

Exterior painting

If you’re a landlord, then it’s essential to maintain the appearance of your apartment building. Your apartment painter may help scrape, sand, and caulk your building’s exterior. You can also ask a Tasker to help repair and fill holes and cracks and prime any areas with stains or visible wood knots. 

 

Interior painting

Whether you need to add color to your corridors or give your space a new look, you can easily hire a Tasker to paint your rooms, hallways, or common areas. A Tasker can mix your selected paints, layer coats, and apply painting techniques that suit the texture or overall style that you want. 

 

If you just moved into a new home, your Tasker can also work with an interior designer to help bring your dream home to life. 

 

Single room painting

Sometimes, you just need to touch up one room in your home. Whether it’s your kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, or living room, you can book apartment painters near you to help spruce up any area in your living space. 

 

Remember that the approach to painting a room depends on its fixtures and flooring, so be sure to ask your Tasker what they’ll need to help protect any tiles, pipes, or woodwork. 

 

Trim painting

Painting decorative, detailed elements like baseboards, door trim, and crown molding can be very challenging. But when you have a skilled and reliable apartment painter, they can ensure the paint job is seamlessly blending with your home furnishings. Your Tasker can install, clean, and sand trim, fill any holes, prime, and paint. 

 

Custom wall art

Life is too short for bland, drab-looking walls. Why not personalize your home and add custom wall art? Consult with a Tasker and find out how they can create fun, vibrant art for your bedroom wall, recreation nook, and other rooms. They may have to use various tools like stencils, spray paint, sponges, stippling brushes, and more.

$1,500

Braddon ACT 2612, Australia

12th Nov 2025

I’m getting my apartment ready to rent out and looking for an experienced painter to give it a fresh, professional repaint throughout. It’s a ~60m² one-bedroom apartment with a small study and in need of some prep and finishing touches to bring it up to a clean, consistent standard. Details: Areas to paint: • Living/dining/kitchen area (white, with neat trimming around an existing yellow feature wall — feature wall to stay as is) • 1 large bedroom • 1 small study (includes pocket doors) • Bathroom walls • Laundry 4-panel folding door • Bedroom door (has chipped paint that needs sanding and repainting) • Hallway and linen cupboard doors for consistency in look Prep work: • Light sanding and smoothing where needed • Patching small areas that have been plastered but not painted (e.g. around the air conditioning unit) • Filling and touching up minor chips and scuffs across walls and doors Paint and materials: Supplied: • 4L “So Fresh and So Clean – Wall” paint from Tint (can purchase more based on your advice) • Tint paint accessory kit (rollers, brushes, tray, etc.) • Extension pole • Painter to bring any additional tools, filler, sanding gear, and drop sheets as needed. Timing: Hoping to have the work completed just before Christmas (mid to late December 2025) once I’ve had a chance to move most things out. Happy to arrange a quick FaceTime walkthrough or on-site visit so you can scope the work properly and advise on materials and timing. What I’m after: A reliable, detail-oriented painter who’ll take care with edges and finishes — aiming for a fresh, bright, rental-ready result.

Hi! I’m moving into a small apartment in Naremburn and would like to have the walls painted white. The living area (around 3.7 x 3.5m) includes a hallway of about 2m that’s part of the same space, so that wall needs to be painted too. The bedroom is around 3.7 x 3.35m. Most walls are grey, and there’s one small brown wall in the bedroom. Only the walls need painting — not the ceiling. Kitchen and bathroom will stay as they are. Please bring all materials, including paint and tools.
