Question 1

How much does exterior house painting cost in Sydney?

Accepted Answer

As a 2026 guide, exterior painting in Sydney runs roughly $25–$60 per square metre — about $5,500–$9,500 for a single-storey home and $10,000–$22,000+ for a two-storey. Weatherboard costs 20–40% more than brick or render because it needs far more preparation. We use Dulux Weathershield for coastal durability and give you a fixed, itemised quote after a free site visit.

Question 2

How much does it cost to spray paint kitchen cabinets in Sydney?

Accepted Answer

Cabinet spray painting (including 2-pac) typically costs $2,000–$8,000 in Sydney — around $4,000–$6,000 for a medium kitchen — compared with $10,000–$30,000+ to replace cabinetry. We clean, prime and spray in a mobile booth for a smooth, factory-grade finish, usually within about a week. It's one of the highest-value upgrades you can make to a kitchen.

Question 3

What paint brands does Paintalo use?

Accepted Answer

Premium trade products only — Dulux (Weathershield, Wash & Wear, Aquanamel), Haymes, Porter's Paints, Wattyl and Zinsser primers — matched to each surface. We specify the exact brand and colour in your written quote, so a cheaper paint is never swapped in. Better paint means a tougher, better-looking finish that lasts years longer.

Question 4

Do you offer a warranty on your painting?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We back our workmanship with a written guarantee, and many of the premium products we apply carry their own manufacturer warranties of up to 10–15 years — for example Dulux Weathershield on exteriors. You'll get the details in writing with your itemised quote, along with exactly what is and isn't included.

Question 5

Can you paint heritage and federation homes?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely — it's one of our specialties. Our team is trained in period-appropriate techniques and lead-paint-safe practices, and we use breathable mineral and lime-based paints (such as Porter's) where older walls need them. We've restored a heritage-listed Victorian in Mosman and a 1920s Californian bungalow in Willoughby, working to council requirements.

Question 6

Do you do strata and commercial painting?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We repaint strata complexes and commercial premises across Sydney — including evenings, weekends and shutdown periods — with full project coordination and $20M public liability cover. We've repainted a 12-unit strata complex in Artarmon and completed an overnight retail fit-out in Westfield Chatswood, keeping disruption to a minimum.

Question 7

How long does it take to paint a house?

Accepted Answer

Most rooms take 1–2 days; a full interior repaint is usually 1–2 weeks, and a typical exterior 2–3 weeks depending on size, preparation and weather. You'll get a clear schedule with your quote — and we stick to it, because turning up and finishing on time is part of the job.
