What drives the price

The biggest cost factors are the size of the home, the condition of the existing surfaces, the amount of prep needed (scraping, filling, repairs to render, timber or fibro), the number of storeys and access. A single-storey home in good condition is far cheaper to paint than a two-storey home with peeling paint and difficult access.

Indicative ranges

As a rough guide, exterior repaints on an average Illawarra home can range from a few thousand dollars for a smaller, straightforward job to well over ten thousand for a large or high-prep home. These are indicative only — the honest answer is that every home is different, which is why we quote each one on site.

Why prep matters most

Near the coast, salt and UV break coatings down faster, so proper preparation is what makes a repaint last. Paying for thorough prep and quality coatings usually costs less over time than a cheap job that fails in a couple of years.

Frequently asked questions

Can you give a price over the phone?

We can talk through rough ranges, but an accurate exterior quote needs a look at the home's size, condition and access — our on-site quotes are free and itemised.

Does the paint brand affect cost?

Yes — premium exterior systems cost more up front but hold up better against the Illawarra weather, which usually pays off in durability.
