What Will It Cost
How much does it cost to paint a house by Performance Painting and Why?
For most of us our home is the most important investment we’ll ever make. So, taking care of that investment whether for short term, (resell at a later date) or long term, (your forever home) will be on going and can be expensive, especially when not done well, (to save money), then needing to do it again.
Painting the exterior of your home for example, to increase your street appeal or maintenance due to the existing paint failing and wearing away, you may find yourself spending more than you originally anticipated.
Being a part of Dulux Accredited Painters group, we are selected and guided by a strict professional criterion. We are leaders in the Hobart and Tasmanian painting industry and demonstrate daily, a high level of workmanship, professionalism, customer service, (my favourite), and reliability.
“Painting is the easy part”
As an example. Seven days out of a 10-day weatherboard repaint in on a residential exterior project around greater Hobart is dedicated to preparation. We provide a five-year workmanship warranty. In order to do this, it must be done right.
The systems and processes our team have formulated are trusted and proven successful because many years ago our company made a basic decision. We decided it would be easier to explain price one time. Than it would be to apologise for quality forever.
I bet you’re glad we made that decision.
Why do quotes vary so much in price?
Considerations when engaging with a professional painter in and around Hobart.
Very high
- What is the season or time of year? If its leading up to Christmas, you really need to plan ahead. Some may take advantage of the “Silly” season and inflate prices.
- Very large business’ have very large overheads. i.e. insurance, wages.
- Who is coming to paint your house?
Very Low
- Do they guarantee their work? By a handshake or a document.
- Are they fully insured? If they are injured on your property you are potentially liable if they don’t have their own cover.
- Have you checked their reviews? Do they have any?
- Are they professional painters? How did they present themselves? Did you see their vehicle?
- Was the quote detailed? Do you know exactly what they propose to do, how they are going to do it and what paint are they using?
Mid-Range
- Still always a good idea to back check reviews, ask around on your favourite socials for feedback. How are the details on the quote etc. What are your expectations?
The Numbers
Several factors come into play. So obviously a larger home will cost more to paint than a smaller one.
The extent of the preparation is a big one. How bad is the existing finish? Is it all sides and areas? How many windows? Do you need scaffolding? Detailing, heritage or Victorian style
Based on a full exterior repaint – Walls, windows and doors, eaves and fascia
| Style of House | Approximate Cost |
| Californian bungalow with brick veneer or render | $6000 – $14000 |
| Small weatherboard home in reasonable condition | $9000 – $16000 |
| Small Victorian style | $15000 – $20000 |
| Large weatherboard | $15000 upwards depending on condition/access |
*These are prices for smaller single storey homes in the greater Hobart area and are to be used as a guide only.
For Interior repainting, again it comes down to preparation requirements once again.
Are there many plaster repairs? There are many lath and plaster homes in and around Hobart and cracking is a familiar sight. Water damage, smoke damage.

What Our Clients Say About Us
Real Feedback from Satisfied Clients
Luke has now completed the work as quoted, and it has been performed to the high standard I expected. It was finished in the time frame advised and the cleanup following job completion was much appreciated, especially the re-placement of furniture.
I highly recommend Luke for any painting required.
We are totally delighted with their workmanship and our home has become fresh and a pleasure to live in.
The job was long overdue and involved most rooms in the house - including the large living space.
The home is fifty-four years old and was showing its age. Now it is smiling and the energy is sparkling.
The crew involved were expert painters, most respectful and totally focussed on the job at hand.
There is obviously total trust between management and the painters and ‘only the best’ work will be done.
Communication between all involved was maintained appropriately at all times.
We have already recommended their business to another home improvement company which is carrying out house improvement for us.
We thoroughly recommend Performance Painters - a Tasmanian inter-generational owned and run family business.
