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.

They did a really great job on painting the exterior of the house, and they were just all round great guys!

Michael Hehir Couldn’t be happier with Luke and Kane from Performance Painting. Fair price, arrived and finished on schedule, easy to deal with and a fantastic job. Highly recommended. Michael and Leisa York St Sandy Bay Gemma Dwyer We were super happy with Performance Painting, they did a fantastic job painting our house exterior and front fence. It was all very convenient and straightforward to organise, from the quote process to the actual painting itself. The team were friendly, efficient and left everything incredibly clean afterwards. Thanks again Luke and team! Linda Price I can’t speak highly enough of this company. They did a meticulous job of my lounge room. From the detailed quote to the completed job, everything was done with attention to detail and thorough professionalism. All my natural timber trims were carefully sanded and protected. The walls and ceiling had many cracks and repairs to be done, and these were prepared and painted to perfection. The guys were very pleasant and respectful of our home and were a pleasure to have around. Sam Smith Luke and his team did a stunning job of painting my house. Excellent attention to detail and also a pleasure to deal with at all stages of the process. Would highly recommend to anyone who needs painting done. Brad Davie Luke and the team were the ultimate professionals from the initial contact right through to completion. We are really happy with their work and would thoroughly recommend. Anthea Thomson We are very impressed with the work done by Performance Painting. Luke Holden gave us prompt efficient service and quote. He kept us informed and sent an excellent tradesman to do the work. The job involved stripping, sanding and oiling about 50 heavily weathered cedar door and window frames…. They now look like new. He painted the bedroom / bathroom and caused minimal disturbance to the house. Leaving it back clean and tidy. Highly recommend this company Simone Van der Heyden Great crew to coordinate and very happy with the final result and clean up after for interior paint job. Gave advice on colours and even arranged for free sample pots. Would recommend in a heartbeat. Cheryl Cooper Fabulous job done with attention to detail..I couldn't be happier. Admire their professionalism from quote submission to completion. Highly recommended.
