Hiring a painter in Newcastle: what to check

Licence check. In NSW, residential painting over $5,000 including GST needs a contractor licence (stand-alone internal painting is an exception).
  • Check their licence (and that it covers your type of work) before you hire.
  • Ask for a written quote that lists labour, materials and GST.
  • For residential work over $5,000 (incl. GST) in NSW, get a written contract.
  • Confirm they hold public liability insurance.
  • Check the ABN on the ABN Lookup website.
  • Ask how long the job will take and who will be on site.

Typical jobs

  • Interior repaints
  • Exterior house painting
  • Roof painting and restoration
  • Deck and fence staining
  • New-build and renovation painting
  • Wallpaper removal

Local tips for Newcastle

  • Near the coast, salt and sun break paint down faster, so ask about prep and coatings suited to coastal conditions.
  • In heritage areas, council may have rules about exterior colour schemes — check before choosing colours.
  • Homes built before the 1970s may have lead-based paint — ask your painter how they’ll handle prep safely.
