I cannot recommend Douglas and his team highly enough. Within mins of meeting him i knew i could trust him to do a good job. Douglas spent a lot of extra time discussing our needs and assisting in choosing the best colour for the job. The prep work the boys did was quite amazing and once again a pleasant surprise was in store when they also fixed several cracks in the walls. We could not have been happier with the painting, his team were a joy to have in our house and the job was completed in the requested time frame. Don't waste time looking around....just book Douglas, you will be glad you did! Thanks again Douglas love your work.

Douglas did a great job on a very exacting job. He went the extra mile to make sure that I was happy with all aspects of the work. Very polite and organised at all times. Lovely to work with. Highly recommended.

I could not be happier with the work Paul did, he's a highly skilled and careful painter who genuinely cares about the end result. Outside of the initial task, he also helped me apply peel & stick wallpaper to make a feature wall in my office. That was a lot tricker than I thought it would be, but again, Paul was careful and patient, and made sure we got it done right. Paul is the real deal, an absolute craftsman.

Wall paint

$150

Words alone cannot describe the exceptional job performed by Ares, Leo and his team. To put it bluntly, the level of work performed on my house significantly exceeded my expectations; not to mention that the degree of professionalism that was exuded by their staff, made the overall experience a very pleasant one. It goes without question that I would call on them again for any/most home improvements. In addition to being extremely knowledgeable on the painting side of things, they also possess tremendous insight on remodeling and repairing techniques. Perhaps their biggest strength however, lies within their own passion for their work. Many thanks guys to the for a job well done, and for making my first home something I anxiously look forward to returning to everyday.

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.
