The work

House painting in Sydney.

Paint protects the house as well as dressing it. Outside, strong sun is hard on paint. Inside, a fresh coat makes a room feel new.

Sydney is the capital of New South Wales. Send the job with your suburb and a few lines about the house.

Some people look for a painting company, others for a contractor. Either way, start with the job.

This page is for homes. For a shop or office, pick Something else and tell us about the building.

Questions

Good questions.

What should I tell you about my job in Sydney?

Tell us the job type, your suburb and a few lines about the work. Say if it is inside or outside, roughly how big it is, and when you want it done.

Can I ask for one room, or must it be the whole house?

One room is fine. Tell us which rooms, and if the ceilings, trims or doors are part of the job.

What are the licence rules for a painter in New South Wales?

In New South Wales, many trades need a contractor licence for home work above a set value. Building Commission NSW has the rules for each trade. Check before the work starts.
