Melbourne house painting price guide
Planning a home repaint in Hawthorn or Melbourne’s inner east? These broad Melbourne market ranges can help with your initial budget. They are estimates only — not Dave’s prices, fixed quotes or offers.
Every home is different. The costs below are indicative planning figures from publicly available Melbourne painting guides, not prices set or promised by Heritage Painters Hawthorn. Your actual price may fall below or above these ranges. Dave will discuss the scope and assess the condition of your property before providing a project-specific estimate.
| Painting project | Indicative market estimate (AUD) |
|---|---|
| Single room interior repaint | $600–$1,700 |
| Three-bedroom home — full interior | $5,000–$12,000 |
| Single-storey house — exterior | $5,000–$13,000 |
| Two-storey house — exterior | $8,000–$20,000+ |
| Whole house — interior and exterior | $18,000–$30,000+ |
These estimates are broad, illustrative budget ranges only and are not a price list for Dave’s services. Project scope, GST treatment, materials and site requirements must be confirmed in an individual estimate.
Victorian, Edwardian and Federation homes can involve more detailed preparation than newer properties. Cracked plaster, decorative cornices, timber windows, ageing weatherboards, peeling coatings and difficult access can change the work required. Older paint may also require special safety precautions.
After you describe the job, Dave can discuss the surfaces to be painted, preparation requirements, likely access needs and the appropriate next step for a project-specific estimate. No price is confirmed by this online guide.
No. These are broad market estimates only. Dave provides an individual estimate based on your property and the agreed scope.
It can be, particularly where decorative features, older coatings, significant preparation or special access are involved. Some heritage jobs may be simpler than expected; others may cost more.
No fixed price can be provided without understanding your project. Use the estimate page or call Dave for a more relevant assessment.
