Performance Painting provides office painting and commercial interior painting throughout Hobart for businesses, property managers and commercial property owners.
Whether you’re repainting a small office, refreshing an existing workplace or preparing a commercial space for new occupants, we’ll inspect the surfaces and discuss how the painting can be planned around the requirements of the property.
Office painting often involves more than simply changing the wall colour. Existing surfaces may need repairs and preparation, while access, furniture, staff and normal business operations can all affect how the project needs to be staged.
Performance Painting has been operating in Hobart since 1994. We focus on thorough preparation, clear communication and completing the painting to the same standard we expect across our residential and commercial work.
Office Painting for Hobart Workplaces
Office painting projects can range from repainting a few tired rooms through to refreshing an entire commercial interior.
The scope can include offices, reception areas, meeting rooms, hallways, staff areas and other shared spaces. Before quoting, we look at the condition of the existing surfaces, repairs and preparation required, access and how the space is currently being used.
Preparation Still Matters in Commercial Painting
Commercial interiors can accumulate plenty of wear — marks, damaged corners, previous repairs, holes from fixtures and general deterioration.
These areas need to be properly prepared before repainting. Depending on the condition of the surfaces, preparation may include cleaning, filling, sanding, repairs and priming where required.
A commercial project doesn’t get a lower preparation standard simply because there’s a deadline.
Planning Around Your Workplace
If an office is occupied, we’ll discuss how the painting can reasonably be staged around staff, access and normal business operations.
For vacant offices or properties between tenants, the project can usually be planned differently because access is less restricted.
Rather than promising that every office can be painted after hours or without disruption, we’ll work out what is practical when we inspect the property.
Choosing the Right Finish
Different areas of an office can require different finishes depending on the surface and level of use.
We’ll recommend an appropriate coating system after looking at the property rather than applying the same specification to every workplace.
Colour is also worth considering carefully, particularly across larger commercial interiors. Clients who proceed with Performance Painting can use our complimentary independent colour consultation if they would like assistance selecting colours.
Our Office Painting Process
1. Onsite Inspection and Quote
We start by inspecting the office and discussing the areas you want painted.
We’ll look at the condition of the existing surfaces, preparation required, access and how the workplace is being used. This allows us to provide a detailed quote based on the actual project rather than a generic square-metre price.
2. Planning the Work
Before starting, we’ll discuss access and how the painting can be staged around the property.
For an occupied workplace, this may mean completing particular areas in stages. Vacant offices or properties between tenants can usually be approached differently.
The practical details depend on the individual project.
3. Surface Preparation
Preparation can include cleaning, filling holes and cracks, sanding, repairs and priming where required.
We’ll protect surrounding areas while we’re working and keep the site organised as the project progresses.
4. Painting
Once preparation is complete, the selected coating system is applied to the agreed areas.
We use quality painting products appropriate to the surfaces and intended use of the space.
5. Completion
At the end of the project, we’ll check the completed work and deal with any items requiring attention before finishing up.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does office painting cost in Hobart?
The cost depends on the size and condition of the office, preparation required, areas being painted, access and how the work needs to be staged.
An occupied office can also require a different approach from a vacant commercial property. We prefer to inspect the site before providing a detailed quote rather than relying on a generic square-metre rate.
Can you paint an office while the business is operating?
Potentially, but it depends on the workplace and the scope of the painting.
Some projects can be completed in stages around occupied areas, while others may be better completed when particular rooms or sections are vacant. We’ll discuss access and practical requirements when we inspect the property.
Do you offer low-odour paint options?
Different products and coating systems are available for commercial interiors.
If odour, occupancy or other workplace requirements are important to your project, let us know during the inspection so they can be considered when selecting an appropriate coating system.
How long does it take to paint an office?
There isn’t a standard timeframe.
A small office repaint may be relatively straightforward, while a larger workplace with substantial preparation or restricted access can take considerably longer.
We’ll give you an indication of the expected timeframe once we’ve inspected the property and understand the scope.
Do we need to move office furniture before painting?
That depends on the amount and type of furniture, equipment and the areas being painted.
We’ll discuss what needs to be moved or cleared before the project starts rather than assuming that our painters will relocate office furniture, IT equipment or other business assets.
