Exterior painting cost Adelaide. Pricing for weatherboard, render, brick, gutters and fascias in 2026. Cost per sqm and per home.
Exterior painting in Adelaide typically runs $35–$55 per square metre of wall surface, or $6,000–$12,000 for a typical 3-bedroom home including gutters, fascias and trims. Double-storey homes run $10,000–$20,000 once scaffolding and extra labour are factored in. Heritage homes (weatherboard, Federation, Victorian) sit at the top end because of the prep work: lead-safe scraping, sanding, priming bare patches, and a sympathetic palette selection. The exterior job is the one where quote comparison matters most — cheaper quotes usually mean skipped prep, and skipped prep means the paint will fail in 4–5 years instead of 10.
