Frequently asked questions

How much does it usually cost to have a house painted?

Painting a home can vary in price because it depends on a number of different factors. One of the main ones is the size of the property—larger homes generally cost more to paint, while smaller homes are usually more affordable. Other things that affect the cost include the type and quality of paint, the current condition of the surfaces, how many colours you choose, the number of coats required, the paint brand, and more.
Preparation is often the biggest part of any painting job and should be taken seriously when planning your project. The durability, longevity, and overall finish of the final coats all come down to how well the prep work is done. That said, during our site visit we can assess everything properly and provide you with a free quote/estimate, along with a clear timeframe and expected duration for the job.

What’s the typical timeframe for painting a house?

The timeframe can range from about a week to up to a month, depending on the size of the job and the overall scope of work. It’s hard to give an exact duration straight away because there are several factors that can affect how long the project will take.
The biggest factor is the total area being painted, but things like the number of coats, how many colours you choose, and the condition of the surfaces also play a major role. Poor or damaged substrates can require extra prep and repairs, which can add time. During our site visit for a free quote, we’ll assess everything properly and give you a clear estimate of the expected timeline and duration.

How can I get my home ready for painting?

There are a few things you can do to help prepare your home for a painting service, such as packing away personal items and moving anything fragile or valuable out of the work areas so it stays protected from dust and paint. That said, we can take care of the preparation for you as well—home prep is included as part of our service.
We’ll clean and dust the surrounding areas, protect the floors with drop sheets and masking tape, and cover furniture with plastic sheeting where needed. Our goal is to keep your home neat and tidy throughout the entire painting process.

What level of disruption should I expect during the painting job?

Our goal is to make sure your painting job—including any preparation and repairs—is completed properly and thoroughly. We also work hard to keep disruption to a minimum by walking you through the process from start to finish and creating a plan that suits your household and schedule. That’s exactly why you choose us—we handle the heavy work while keeping your home as comfortable as possible.
Throughout the project, we protect your belongings from dust and paint and keep the work areas clean. We also tidy up daily and vacuum floors to help your home stay neat and liveable for you and your family. In most cases, you’ll still be able to use key areas like the kitchen and bathroom, and continue sleeping in your bed during the painting process if you’re not planning to stay elsewhere.

Can you fix water damage, holes, cracks, or other wall damages as part of the job?

As a professional painting company, we can certainly help with this—provided it’s the type of repair we’re experienced in and properly licensed and insured to carry out. Our team mainly handles general repairs and maintenance, such as patching holes, fixing minor cracks, and addressing light water damage as part of the prep work.
For more serious damage that could affect the structure of the home, we recommend bringing in the appropriate specialist to ensure everything is safe and done correctly. During our site visit for a free quote and consultation, we can assess the damage and let you know the best way forward.

How many coats of paint will be applied as part of the quoted price?

The number of coats included will depend on the surface being painted. In most cases, surfaces will need three coats in total—one coat of primer/undercoat and two topcoats for the finished look.
However, in some situations an undercoat may not be necessary. For example, if the surface has been painted before, is in good condition, and doesn’t require repairs, we may be able to go straight to the topcoats.

Do you provide guidance on choosing paint colours?

Yes, we do. As a professional painting company, we know that many homeowners aren’t always sure which colour will suit their home best. That’s why we help you choose by taking into account the unique features of your space and the factors that matter most for your home.
We’ll guide you toward a colour choice that’s both practical and visually appealing.

Do you carry full insurance for your services?

Absolutely yes — we’re fully insured for the services we provide, so you can have peace of mind while we’re working on your property.
