How to Choose the Best Painting in Brighton

A checklist before hiring any painting in Brighton, Melbourne.

  1. 1

    Verify their electrical licence is current at your state's electrical safety authority (e.g. Energy Safe Victoria, NSW Fair Trading).

  2. 2

    Confirm they carry public liability insurance of at least $5 million — ask to see the certificate.

  3. 3

    Get 2–3 written quotes for any job over $500. A written quote protects both parties and clarifies the full scope.

  4. 4

    Check their Google and TradeRefer ratings — look for consistent reviews mentioning punctuality, clean workmanship, and clear communication.

  5. 5

    Ask whether they'll provide a Certificate of Compliance (electrical safety certificate) on completion, as required by law in most states.

FAQs — Painting in Brighton, Melbourne

How much does it cost to paint a house in Australia?

Interior painting of a standard 3-bedroom home typically costs $3,500–$8,000. Exterior painting ranges from $4,000–$12,000 depending on size, storeys, and surface condition. Rates are $40–$70/hr for labour.

How many coats of paint are needed?

Most surfaces need at least 2 coats for full coverage. Over dark colours or bare surfaces, a primer coat plus 2 topcoats is standard. Skipping coats to save money often results in patchy coverage and early failure.

What is the best time of year to paint the exterior of a house in Australia?

Spring and autumn are ideal — avoid extreme heat (over 35°C) which causes paint to dry too fast and blister, and don't paint in the rain or direct frost. In tropical/coastal areas, avoid the wet season for exterior work.

Do painters clean up after themselves?

Reputable painters will cover furniture, protect floors, remove outlet covers, and clean up all materials, drop sheets, and paint cans. Always confirm this is included in your quote.

What's the difference between acrylic and oil-based paint?

Acrylic (water-based) paint dries faster, has less odour, and is the standard for most interior and exterior use. Oil-based paints are more durable and provide a harder finish, commonly used for trims, doors, and cabinetry.
