Residential house painter FAQs answered

Rusco Painting are the painting experts with years of experience delivering residential painting jobs. Here are some of the most frequently asked questions our house painters receive.

How much does it cost to paint a house?

  • The cost to paint the exterior of a house: A house painter will usually charge from $2,500 to $4,500 for an exterior painting job – this includes the gutters, downpipes, water pipes, doors, frames and windows. 
  • The cost to paint the interior of a house: Typically, the cost to paint a house that has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen and laundry will be anywhere between $4,500 to $6,500. 

How often should the interior of a house be painted?

As a general rule, we recommend at least every 5-6 years – at the very least – but you should aim for every 3-5 years for the best results. If you renovate or change the style of a room, you will need to repaint it sooner. Depending on your lifestyle, family, and activities, you may need to repaint your walls more frequently to prevent them from being too scuffed.

Does painting the interior of the house add value?

Without a doubt! Paint is regarded as a protective coating as well as an aesthetic, so having your inside freshly painted restores it to new condition. A finished paint job performed by professional interior painters can raise the value of your property by up to 5% since it appeals to homebuyers; it will draw more attention and encourage a private inspection.

Will I need a consultation?

We recommend that you have one of our professional house painters come to your home and provide you with a quote and professional opinion on the best house colour schemes for your home. House colour consultations are chats on the best interior and/or exterior house colour schemes for your home. We will go through some aspects that may influence how colours look in various contexts on your home so that you can arrive at your chosen house colour.

Why do I need a colour consultation?

Your colour consultant will assist you in figuring out how house colour schemes work from room to room – or on the outside of your home. It can be difficult to visualise what exterior house colours would look like once painted on your home. A colour consultant is an expert in their industry, and they know what will work best for your property style.

How long will a painting job take?

When you ask your house painter for a quote, he will be able to offer you an approximate timetable as it all depends on the size of the project and the scope of work.
