Residential painting

House painters across Adelaide

Q: Do I need a licensed painter in South Australia?

Residential painting work valued over $12,000 (including materials) requires a Building Work Contractor licence from Consumer and Business Services SA. Every painter in our network has been verified on licensing and insurance before they can receive your job.

Q: How long does a full house repaint take?

A 3-bedroom interior typically takes 4–6 working days. A full exterior takes 5–8 days depending on prep. A whole-home inside and out runs 2–3 weeks when scheduled back-to-back.

Q: Will the painter move my furniture?

Most residential painters will move light furniture to the centre of the room and cover it with drop cloths as part of the job. Heavy items, artwork, and valuables are your responsibility — agree on what gets moved before the quote is locked.
