An interior room typically starts from $400–$600, while a full exterior house repaint can range from $3,000 to $15,000+. The cost depends on property size, number of rooms, surface condition, paint type, and any repair work required. We always provide a free, detailed, itemised quote so you know exactly what you are paying for before we start — no surprises, ever.

Hourly rates for painters in Melbourne depend on experience, the type of surface, how much preparation is needed and whether the job is residential or commercial. At Blue Sky Coatings we quote a fixed project price instead of an open hourly rate, so you know the full cost before work starts. Request a free quote and we will send a clear, itemised price within 24 hours.

You should pay for the full scope of work, not just the paint on the wall. A fair quote covers surface preparation, crack filling, quality paint, protection of floors and furniture, and a complete clean up. Very cheap quotes often skip preparation, which is the main reason paint fails early. Our transparent pricing lists every step so you can compare quotes with confidence.

The cost to paint a 3 bedroom house in Melbourne depends on whether you need interior painting, exterior painting or both, the size and condition of the walls, ceiling heights and the paint finish you choose. Every home is different, so we inspect the property and give you a fixed written quote with no hidden costs.

1000 sq ft is roughly 93 square metres. The price for this area changes with the surface type, number of coats, level of repair work and access height. Send us your measurements or photos and our team will give you an accurate price for your project.

With proper preparation and premium branded paints, interior paint jobs typically last 5–10 years and exterior jobs 7–12 years in Melbourne's climate. Our thorough preparation process — washing, sanding, filling, and priming — ensures our results last significantly longer than the average painter. Shortcuts in preparation are the number one cause of early paint failure.

We respond to all quote requests within 24 hours and can typically schedule your project within 1–2 weeks depending on the season. Once booked, we work on consecutive days until fully complete — no disappearing for days at a time. We respect your time and take scheduling commitments seriously.

We ask that you remove small decorative items, artwork, and valuables before we arrive. For larger furniture, our team moves it to the centre of the room and covers everything with heavy-duty protective drop sheets. We treat your home and belongings with the same respect we would give our own property.

We exclusively use premium branded paints — Dulux, Taubmans, and other industry-leading brands. The specific paint recommended depends on surface type, location, and the finish required. We never use cheap generic paints to increase our margins. The quality of paint matters enormously for how long your job lasts and how good it looks.
