Looking for the best painter in Hobart?
Most people don’t actually want “the best painter in Hobart” because of a slogan — they want a painter who turns up, does the prep properly, respects the home, and leaves a finish you’re proud of every time you walk past it.
That’s exactly what we do at Performance Painting.
I’m Luke, and our family business has been painting homes and businesses around Hobart since 1994. We’ve built our reputation the old-fashioned way: quality work, clear communication, and attention to detail — not shortcuts.
Whether you’re freshening up one room, repainting the whole home, or giving your exterior a proper facelift, you’ll get a team that treats your place like it matters.
What makes people call us “the best”
It starts with preparation
Anyone can roll colour on a wall. The difference is what happens before the first coat:
-
protecting floors and furniture properly
-
patching, sanding, smoothing, sealing
-
fixing problem areas so paint doesn’t fail early
-
clean edges, consistent coverage, and a durable finish
Prep is where the job is won — and we don’t rush it.
We’re local, and we get Hobart homes
From character homes in Battery Point, Sandy Bay and South Hobart, to busy family homes across Kingston, Glenorchy, Claremont, and the Eastern Shore — every home has different surfaces, light, and wear-and-tear.
We tailor the approach to your home, not the other way around.
Premium Dulux systems, applied properly
We use Dulux products chosen for performance, washability, and longevity — and we apply them with methods that deliver a neat, even finish that holds up.
Interiors, exteriors, and everything in between
We help with:
-
interior walls, ceilings, trims and doors
-
feature walls and modern refreshes
-
exterior weatherboards, render and trims
-
maintenance repaints and full transformations
-
residential and light commercial painting
If you’re not sure what you need yet, that’s fine — we’ll walk through it with you.
Free colour guidance (so it’s not stressful)
Choosing paint colours can be surprisingly hard — especially in Hobart where the light changes so much through the day.
If you want help, we offer free colour guidance to make it simple:
-
we’ll consider your natural light, floors, furnishings and existing tones
-
we’ll help you avoid “almost right” whites
-
and we’ll recommend combinations that feel calm, modern, and timeless
No pressure, no overwhelm — just practical advice.
A smooth experience from start to finish
We keep the process simple:
-
Obligation-free inspection + quote
-
Protect and prepare (thoroughly)
-
Paint with care (clean lines, consistent finish)
-
Final walkthrough (we don’t leave until you’re happy)
We aim for minimal disruption, a tidy worksite, and a result that looks sharp for years.
