“How much does it cost to paint a house in Wollongong?” is the question we get asked most. The honest answer is that it depends on a handful of things – but here’s how to think about it, and how to get an accurate price for your place.

What actually drives the cost

  • Size and number of rooms – more wall and ceiling area means more paint and labour.
  • Prep required – patching, sanding, filling cracks and priming bare areas all add time, and prep is where a lasting finish is won or lost.
  • Interior vs exterior – exteriors involve access, weather and tougher coatings.
  • Paint and finish – we prefer quality Dulux and a wash-and-wear finish inside; it costs a little more up front and lasts far longer.
  • Condition – a tired exterior that’s been left too long needs more work to bring back.

Rough guide

As a general guide for the Wollongong market, a single-room interior repaint is usually a few hundred dollars, a full interior repaint runs into the low thousands depending on size, and a full exterior repaint depends heavily on access and condition. These are ballparks only – every home is different, which is why we quote each job in person and put it in writing before we start.
