Perth City Painters
Professional Painters in Perth
Painting across the Perth metro area since 2010, with a 10-year workmanship guarantee on every job.
A paint job should look good on the day and still look good in five years. That’s the part most people care about, and it’s the part we’ve built the business around. Perth City Painters started in 2010 and we’ve been working across the metro ever since. Homes make up most of our week, and we also take on offices, shopfronts, strata blocks and heritage buildings when the work suits our crew. Same painters, same prep standards, same finish either way.
Prep is where a paint job is won or lost, so we don’t rush it. Filling, sanding, priming, proper masking, floors and furniture covered before a lid comes off. You shouldn’t be cleaning up after us. We use quality paint because the cheap stuff fades and chalks long before it should, and we stand behind the work with a 10 year workmanship guarantee. Sixteen years in, plenty of those early jobs are still holding up. Have a look through our services below, or tell us what needs doing and we’ll come out and give you a free quote.
House painting for Perth homes, from a single room through to a full interior and exterior repaint. We move and cover your furniture, protect flooring before we start and leave the house cleaner than we found it.
Exterior house painting across Perth, matched to the surface. Render, weatherboard, brick and Colorbond each behave differently under our sun and coastal salt, so we specify the paint system to suit the substrate and its exposure.
Interior painting where the detail shows. Open plan living and large windows reveal every roller mark and patch repair, so we prepare the plaster properly and cut clean lines, using low VOC products so rooms are usable within hours.
Commercial painting for Perth offices, retail spaces and commercial premises, scheduled around your trading hours. We work after hours, weekends or zone by zone so your business keeps running while we do.
Strata and body corporate painting across Perth, covering apartment complexes, townhouses and villa developments. Our 10 year workmanship guarantee is usually the part that makes the spend easy to put to owners.
Heritage and character home painting in Fremantle, Subiaco and Mount Lawley. Period homes need more than a fresh coat, so we handle lead paint management, limestone and lime render care, and timber restoration.

Perth City Painters – Professional Painting Services
Premium Painting Services in Perth Since 2010
We have been painting Perth homes and businesses for over 15 years. What began as a small local operation has grown into one of Perth’s most trusted painting companies working across the full metropolitan area, built on solid workmanship and honest service.
Painting is a trade with a wide quality range. Rushed preparation, budget materials and quotes that escalate once work commences are common enough that most property owners have either experienced it or heard about it. We built this business on the opposite approach, which means allowing the time a job actually requires, using quality products and confirming pricing in writing before we start.
Your property is a significant asset. Our role is to protect and enhance it with painting systems selected to perform in Perth conditions.
Understanding Perth’s Climate
Perth’s climate is demanding on paintwork. UV levels here rank among the highest in Australia, coastal suburbs contend with salt exposure and summer temperatures beyond 40 degrees place constant stress on rigid coatings.
We have assessed many Perth properties where the original work fell short. Incorrect product selection, inadequate preparation, application in unsuitable conditions. Failures of this kind typically become visible within twelve months and the owner ends up paying for the same work twice.
Professional Painting Services
House Painting
Interior Painting
Interior painting transforms living spaces without turning the house into a worksite. We work through homes systematically, protecting furniture and flooring before we begin and keeping work areas clean throughout the project.
We work across living areas, bedrooms, kitchens and bathrooms. We complete feature walls, decorative finishes and the more demanding areas including high ceilings and detailed plasterwork.
Kitchen cabinet refinishing is also available and delivers a significant saving against full cabinetry replacement.
Exterior Painting
Exterior painting in Perth depends on location, correct material selection and the right application timing. Weatherboard, brick, render and Colorbond each behave differently and we specify paint systems formulated for the substrate and for Perth’s climate.
Our exterior work covers complete house repaints, roof restoration, deck staining and protection, fence and gate painting, and full exterior preparation ahead of a property sale.
Commercial Painting
Perth businesses call us when a project needs to be completed efficiently and without interrupting trade. We understand commercial requirements and work within your operational constraints rather than around them.
Our commercial experience covers office buildings, retail premises, hospitality venues, medical facilities, educational institutions and multi unit residential complexes.
We schedule around your operations, manage projects to the agreed programme, meet all commercial building code and safety requirements and deliver consistent finishes across large areas. Every commercial project is documented and covered by our workmanship warranty.
Most commercial work is completed over weekends, after hours or during planned closure periods to keep the impact on trading to a minimum.
Industrial Painting
We paint warehouses, factories and industrial premises across Perth, using coating systems built to handle heavy traffic, moisture and hard wear rather than the products used on a domestic job.
Large industrial spaces call for a different approach. Access at height, structural steel, concrete and metal substrates that each need a different system, and the requirement to keep a facility operating while the work happens.
We plan the job around your shutdown windows and work in stages where a site cannot stop.
Every project is fully insured and backed by our 10 year workmanship guarantee.
Pressure Cleaning
Proper surface preparation is the foundation of any lasting paint job.
Our pressure cleaning services remove the contaminants that compromise paint adhesion, which in Perth means years of accumulated dust, coastal salt, mould and chalking from the previous coating.
We pressure clean house exteriors, driveways and paths, rendered and brick walls, decks and timber, and commercial premises. Surface mould and mildew are removed as part of the process, along with any loose or failing paint, before repairs and priming begin.
We use commercial grade equipment and match the method and pressure to each surface, because the pressure that strips a concrete driveway will damage soft render, aged brickwork or timber.
Painting Services Across Perth
We work throughout the Perth metropolitan area and the conditions vary considerably across it. Coastal suburbs deal with salt air that accelerates coating breakdown, while hills suburbs face temperature extremes that place different stresses on the same paint system.
Our coverage extends from Innaloo and the northern suburbs through the western coastal belt including Cottesloe and Scarborough, south of the river to Winthrop and Applecross and east through Canning Vale, Cannington and out to the hills. If you are anywhere in the Perth metro area, we will come to you.
Salt carried inland off the coast affects properties well beyond the beachside suburbs. Elevated and hills properties deal with greater daily temperature movement, which is harder on rigid coatings than sustained heat. We work accordingly rather than applying the same system across every job.
What Sets Us Apart
Our ten year workmanship guarantee covers every painting service we offer, residential, commercial and industrial. If an issue arises from our workmanship within that period, we return and fix it at no additional cost to you.
The guarantee is in writing and provided with your quote, so you know exactly what is covered before you commit to the job. It sits alongside the manufacturer warranty on the paint itself, which covers the product rather than the application.
We are able to offer ten years because of how we prepare surfaces and which products we use. Proper preparation and premium systems are what prevent callbacks, and the guarantee is simply the commitment that follows from that.
We specify paint brands and formulations that perform in Perth conditions and we make that selection based on the substrate and its exposure. Our preferred systems are Dulux WeatherShield for exterior work, Taubmans Endure where extended fade resistance is the priority and Haymes UltraPremium across commercial applications.
Our interior products are low VOC, which makes them safer for families and pets and means the space is usable almost immediately after we finish. They also deliver the durability and colour retention that a busy household needs.
For exteriors the priorities are different. The systems we use resist fading under Perth’s UV levels, accommodate the expansion and contraction that comes with summer temperatures beyond 40 degrees, and where the property is near the coast, stand up to salt exposure.
We do not reduce paint quality to bring a quote down. Budget products fail early, fade unevenly and cost more over the life of the job once the repaint is factored in.
You will know which products we intend to use on your property and why, before we start.
From your first enquiry through to final inspection, we focus on clear communication and reliability.
Having painters in your home or business is disruptive by nature, so we work to keep the inconvenience to a minimum. Our crews arrive when scheduled, work efficiently and maintain clean, organised work areas throughout the project. We protect your furniture, flooring and landscaping before anything begins and treat the property as we would our own.
We keep you updated on progress as the job moves along. If something unexpected comes up, whether that is a surface issue we find during preparation or an adjustment to the timeline, you hear it from us directly rather than discovering it later.
We carry full public liability insurance covering damage to your property arising from our work, along with workers compensation cover for every member of our team.
When our crews arrive at your home or business, you are dealing with a professional, insured and properly supervised painting team.
Every painter on site works under our insurance.
UV Protection
Perth receives some of the most intense UV radiation in Australia and it is the single biggest cause of premature exterior paint failure here. North and west facing walls take the worst of it and will often show fading and chalking well before the rest of a property does.
We specify systems formulated with UV blockers and fade resistant pigments for this reason. Our preferred products are Dulux WeatherShield, which carries a ten year performance warranty, Taubmans Endure with fifteen year fade protection and Haymes UltraPremium for commercial applications.
Premium systems cost more per litre and deliver considerably longer service life than standard formulations. Against the total cost of a repaint, including preparation and labour, the material difference is modest and it is the factor that determines how long the finish holds.
Coastal Painting Solutions
Properties near the coast face conditions that inland suburbs do not. Salt carried in off the ocean settles on exterior surfaces and accelerates the breakdown of both the coating and the substrate beneath it, and it reaches considerably further inland than most people assume.
Our coastal systems use salt resistant primers and topcoats rated for marine exposure. Surfaces get more thorough preparation as salt must be removed completely before coating rather than sealed underneath it. We use stainless fittings where fixings are being replaced to prevent rust staining and apply moisture barriers where required.
Coastal properties in suburbs such as Cottesloe, City Beach and Scarborough generally need repainting more frequently than inland homes. The right system extends that interval significantly.
Temperature Extremes
Perth summers regularly exceed 40 degrees while nights cool sharply and that daily movement is harder on a coating than sustained heat. Surfaces expand and contract continually and rigid paint films eventually crack under it.
We use flexible coating formulations that move with the substrate rather than resisting it. On rendered walls prone to hairline cracking we specify high build elastomeric systems that bridge existing movement cracks and prevent water getting behind the render.
Application timing matters as much as product selection. Applying paint to a surface sitting above 50 degrees in direct sun compromises adhesion and curing regardless of product quality, so exterior work is scheduled to the cooler part of the day through summer.

Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on the size of the property and how much preparation the surfaces need. Most residential jobs run three to seven days. A single room is usually a day or two, a full interior repaint sits at the longer end and exterior work can extend if weather interrupts the schedule. Commercial and industrial projects take longer again and are quoted with a specific programme. We give you a realistic timeframe with your quote.
Yes. Every project carries a written 10 year workmanship guarantee. If an issue comes up because of how the work was carried out, we return and fix it at no cost. The guarantee is provided with your quote so you know what is covered before the job starts. It sits alongside the manufacturer warranty on the paint itself, which covers the product rather than the application.
We use premium systems selected to suit the surface and its exposure rather than defaulting to one product for every job. Our usual choices are Dulux WeatherShield for exterior work, Taubmans Endure where fade resistance is the priority and Haymes UltraPremium across commercial applications. Interiors are finished in low VOC paints so the space is usable almost immediately. We confirm which products we intend to use and why, before we start.
Cost comes down to the size of the property, the condition of the surfaces, how much preparation is required, access and whether the job is interior, exterior or both. The biggest variable between two quotes on the same house is usually preparation. A quote that skips the washing, sanding and priming will always come in lower and it will always fail sooner. We provide free on site quotes with a full written breakdown so you know exactly what you are paying for before committing to anything.
We cover the full Perth metropolitan area north and south of the river, including the inner city and western suburbs, the coastal belt, the northern corridor, the southern suburbs, the eastern suburbs and the hills. If your suburb is not listed on our site, get in touch anyway. We are generally happy to travel beyond the metro area for larger projects.
We have been painting homes and businesses across the Perth metropolitan area since 2010.
Yes. We carry full public liability insurance covering damage to your property arising from our work, along with workers compensation cover for our team.
For exteriors a quality job on a well prepared surface should hold for eight to ten years. Coastal properties sit at the shorter end because of salt exposure and north and west facing walls often show wear earlier than the rest of the house. Interiors last longer, usually ten to fifteen years for bedrooms and less for hallways, kitchens and living areas that see daily contact.
Yes. We work with strata managers and body corporates across Perth on apartment complexes, townhouses and villa developments. Every strata project carries the same 10 year workmanship guarantee, which is generally the part that makes the spend straightforward to present to owners and committees.
Yes. Most of our commercial work is completed after hours, over weekends or during planned closure periods. On larger sites we can stage the job zone by zone so trading continues as normal throughout.
Autumn and spring are ideal, since temperatures are moderate and the paint cures properly. Exterior work is still possible through summer but the timing matters because applying paint to a surface sitting above 50 degrees in direct sun compromises adhesion regardless of product quality. We schedule summer exterior work to the cooler part of the day. Winter is fine for interiors year round.
No. We work through homes systematically so you can stay in the property and we use low VOC interior products so rooms are usable soon after we finish. We protect furniture and flooring before starting and keep the work area contained to the section we are in.
