House Painting in Adelaide
A quality paint job is as much about preparation as paint — and in Adelaide sun, the right exterior products and prep make the difference between a finish that lasts a decade and one that fades and peels in a few years. This page covers interior and exterior house painting costs and what separates a lasting job from a cheap one.
Painting costs in Adelaide
Interior painting is commonly priced per room or per square metre of wall area; a standard room often falls in the $400-$700 range depending on prep, ceilings, and trim. Full exterior repaints are quoted per job and vary widely with house size, substrate, height/access, and prep needed.
Prep is everything
The durability of a paint job comes from preparation: filling and sanding, cleaning, priming bare surfaces, and proper masking. Cheap quotes that skip prep look fine for a year then fail. For Adelaide exteriors, UV-resistant exterior-grade paint and proper priming are essential against the harsh sun.
