FAQ
Common questions
Comparing quotes? Our checklist shows what a complete renovation quote should include.
How much does it cost to paint a house interior in Melbourne?
A full interior repaint for a standard 3-bedroom home in Melbourne typically costs $4,000–$8,000 depending on ceiling height, number of rooms, surface condition and paint quality. Larger 4–5 bedroom homes with high ceilings and feature walls range from $8,000–$15,000. You'll get a written itemised quote after an on-site inspection.
How long does interior painting take?
A standard 3-bedroom house typically takes 3–5 days for a full interior repaint including prep. Larger homes or those needing extensive plaster repair may take 5–8 days. We work room by room so you can stay in the house.
Do you supply the paint?
Yes — quality paint such as Dulux or Taubmans is included in your quote: wash-and-wear for walls, ceiling flat for ceilings and semi-gloss for trims. If you prefer a particular brand or colour, just tell us.
Do you offer colour advice?
Yes — colour advice is included with every painting quote. We'll help you choose colours that suit your lighting, flooring and furniture.
What preparation do you do before painting?
Good prep is most of a good paint job. We fill nail holes, sand surfaces, caulk gaps between trims and walls, remove flaking paint, spot-prime stains and mask all edges.
Do you paint exteriors too?
Yes — weatherboard, render, brick, fascia, gutters and window frames, using exterior-grade paints suited to Melbourne's UV and weather.
