Typical Newcastle House Painting Costs

As a guide for 2026:

  • Single-storey exterior (weatherboard): $4,500–$8,000
  • Single-storey exterior (brick/render): $3,500–$6,500
  • Double-storey exterior: $8,000–$15,000+

  • Single room interior: $600–$1,500

These are broad guides. Your actual quote depends on the factors below.

What Drives the Price Up

  • Paint condition — extensive prep work adds cost
  • Height and access — scaffolding for second storeys or steep rooflines
  • Number of colours — multiple colours mean more masking and cut-in time
  • Timber windows — more time than aluminium frames
  • Repairs — rot, cracks, rising damp add to scope

What Drives the Price Down

  • Recently painted surface in good condition
  • Single colour throughout
  • Accessible single-storey home
  • Off-season timing (winter is generally quieter)

The Cheap Quote Trap

Getting three quotes is smart. But the cheapest quote is usually cheap for a reason — less prep, fewer coats, lower-grade paint. The best value quote is the one that delivers a result lasting 10+ years.
