Frequently Asked Questions

How much does house painting cost in NZ?

Painters in NZ charge $35–$75 per hour. Interior painting for an average 3-bedroom home costs $2,000–$5,000+ depending on condition, prep work, and number of coats.

How long does exterior painting last?

A professionally applied exterior paint job typically lasts 8–12 years with quality paint. UV exposure, climate, and surface condition all affect longevity.

What paint preparation is required?

Good preparation is key: washing, sanding, filling holes, applying primer, and masking. Professional painters allocate significant time to prep, which is why results last longer.

Can painters match existing paint colours?

Yes. Professional painters can colour-match existing paint using spectrophotometers at paint stores, or identify paint codes from product labels.
