About Us
Local painters with deep Newcastle roots.
A good paint job starts well before the first brushstroke. It starts with clear communication, turning up when we said we would, and treating your home the way we would treat our own.
We are locally owned and we work across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and the Hunter, so our reputation travels by word of mouth in the same suburbs we live in. We do not cut corners on preparation, because prep is what decides whether a finish lasts five years or fifteen. Salt air and hard sun are tough on coastal homes, so exteriors get systems built for that exposure, not a general purpose paint.
Whether it is one tired hallway or a full exterior repaint, you get the same thing: a clear written quote, a crew that keeps you posted, and a site left tidy at the end of every day.

How much does it cost to paint a house in Newcastle?
The cost depends on the size of the home, its condition, how much preparation is needed and the paint system chosen. A small interior repaint sits at the lower end, while a full exterior on a two storey home is a much larger job. Rather than quote a number that will not match your place, we look at the property and give you an itemised written quote at no charge.
Do you give free quotes?
Yes. Every quote is free and comes in writing with no obligation. We walk the job with you, note the preparation required, confirm the paint system and colours, then send an itemised price so you can see exactly what is included.
How long does an interior repaint take?
Most single rooms are done in a day or two, and a typical three bedroom interior usually runs across the better part of a week. The exact timing depends on how much patching and preparation is needed, drying times between coats, and whether you need the rooms back in use each evening. We confirm the schedule in your quote.
What paint do you use?
We use premium trade lines from brands such as Dulux and Taubmans, matched to the surface and the exposure. Coastal Newcastle and Lake Macquarie homes cop salt air and strong sun, so exteriors get weather resistant systems rather than a general purpose paint. We list the exact products in your quote.
Do I need to move out while you paint?
No. Almost all interior work is staged so you can keep living at home. We work room by room, mask and drop sheet as we go, and pack the site down each evening so the house stays usable. For larger commercial jobs we can work after hours instead.
Which suburbs do you cover?
We paint across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and the wider Hunter. That includes Newcastle East, Merewether, Hamilton, New Lambton, The Junction, Mayfield and Stockton, plus Charlestown, Warners Bay, Belmont, Cardiff, Toronto and Swansea around the lake. If your suburb is not listed, call and ask.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. We hold NSW Fair Trading licensing for the painting work we carry out and we carry public liability insurance. We are happy to provide the licence number and a certificate of currency before the job starts.
When is the best time of year to paint outside in Newcastle?
Autumn and spring are usually the best windows, because the temperatures are mild and humidity is lower, which helps paint cure properly. Exterior painting is still possible through summer and winter, we just plan around rain, heavy dew and very hot surfaces so each coat goes on in the right conditions.
