Dupaint has been providing professional painting services in Sydney since 1998. We operate from three offices — Darling Point, Castle Hill, and Glebe — giving us daily coverage across the Eastern Suburbs, North Shore, Inner West, Hills District, and CBD.
Our team of 15+ qualified painters in Sydney holds current NSW trade licences and completes ongoing training through Master Painters Australia. We use Dulux paints selected to suit Sydney’s coastal and suburban conditions — including UV-resistant exterior coatings for western-facing facades and salt-tolerant systems for harbour and beachside properties.
Every project begins with a detailed on-site inspection, written scope of work, and fixed-price quote. We prepare all surfaces to Australian Standard AS/NZS 2311 before applying paint, which is why we offer a 5-year workmanship warranty on every completed job.
Our extensive certifications and professional memberships ensure the highest quality workmanship and industry compliance.

As experienced house painters in Sydney, we paint houses, apartments, townhouses, and units — from single-room refreshes to full interior and exterior repaints. A standard 3-4 bedroom house interior typically takes 3-5 days with a team of two painters.
Our residential process includes furniture protection and masking, crack and hole repair using Dulux Acratex or similar filler systems, two full coats of premium paint (we default to Dulux Wash & Wear for interiors), and a final walkthrough inspection before sign-off. We also handle wallpaper removal, ceiling repaints, skirting and trim finishing, and colour consultations at no extra charge.
For Sydney properties built before 1970, we follow SafeWork NSW guidelines for lead paint identification and safe removal before any new coatings are applied.
Dupaint delivers commercial painting services across Sydney for offices, retail spaces, warehouses, schools, restaurants, hotels, and strata buildings. We offer after-hours and weekend scheduling to minimise disruption to your business operations.
Commercial projects include full surface preparation, application of commercial-grade coatings rated for high-traffic environments, and proper disposal of all waste materials. We work to agreed timelines with project coordinators, building managers, and strata committees, and provide detailed progress reporting throughout.
For retail and hospitality fit-outs, we coordinate with other trades to meet builder deadlines. Our commercial clients include property management firms, schools, and body corporates across the Eastern Suburbs, CBD, and North Shore.
Our interior service covers walls, ceilings, doors, trims, skirtings, architraves, and built-in cabinetry. We handle all preparation including sanding, priming, crack filling, and wallpaper removal.
We help you choose colours that suit your space and lighting conditions, Sydney’s strong natural light means colours read differently here than in southern states, so we provide on-site colour consultations using large-format Dulux sample cards to ensure accuracy before committing to a scheme.
Sydney exteriors face UV degradation, salt air corrosion near the coast, and moisture damage from seasonal storms. We select paint systems to match your property’s exposure — Dulux Weathershield for standard exteriors, Dulux Metalshield for metal surfaces, and specialty marine-grade coatings for harbourside properties.
Our exterior service covers walls, eaves, gutters, fascia boards, timber and metal fences, decks, and balustrades. All surfaces are pressure-washed, scraped, sanded, and primed before coating. For multi-storey properties, we use scaffolding erected by licensed scaffolders to AS/NZS 1576 standards.
Beyond standard painting, Dupaint offers microcement wall and floor finishes, marble-effect decorative painting, feature wall design and execution, kitchen cabinet repainting, and fence restoration. These services are available across all our Sydney coverage areas.
Painting costs in Sydney vary based on property size, surface condition, access requirements, and paint selection. As one of Sydney’s leading painting companies, here’s a general guide based on our completed projects:
| Service | Typical Range | Includes |
|---|---|---|
| Interior painting (per sqm) | $40 – $80 | Prep, 2 coats, cleanup |
| Exterior painting (per sqm) | $50 – $100 | Wash, prep, 2 coats, cleanup |
| 3-bed house interior | $4,000 – $8,000 | Walls, ceilings, trims |
| 4-bed house full repaint | $8,000 – $18,000 | Interior + exterior |
| Apartment / unit repaint | $2,500 – $6,000 | Depends on size and scope |
Factors that increase cost include high ceilings requiring scaffolding, significant surface repair, lead paint removal on pre-1970s homes, multi-storey exterior access, and premium specialty finishes like microcement or marble effects. We provide a fixed-price written quote after an on-site inspection — no hidden costs or hourly surprises.
Sydney’s climate creates specific challenges for painted surfaces. North and west-facing exteriors receive intense UV exposure that breaks down paint film faster than shaded surfaces. Coastal properties from Bondi to Mosman are exposed to salt-laden air that corrodes unprotected metal and accelerates paint failure on timber. And Sydney’s humid summers drive moisture into poorly ventilated wall cavities, causing bubbling and peeling from the inside out.
After 25 years as professional painters in Sydney, we’ve developed a systematic approach to paint selection and surface preparation that accounts for every local microclimate. Harbourside and Eastern Suburbs properties get marine-grade primers and salt-resistant topcoats. Western Sydney homes receive additional UV-stabilised exterior systems. Properties in bushfire-prone areas of the Hills District are coated with products that meet BAL (Bushfire Attack Level) requirements where applicable.
For heritage properties in suburbs like Paddington, Woollahra, Surry Hills, and Glebe, we work within local council heritage colour palettes and Development Control Plans. We can advise on approved colour schemes and ensure coatings are sympathetic to the building’s period while still providing modern durability.
When you’re looking for reliable painters in Sydney, here’s what sets Dupaint apart:
Every quote includes an itemised scope of work, specified quality paint products and colour codes, a clear timeline with start and completion dates, and a single fixed price. If we encounter unexpected issues during preparation (such as hidden timber rot or water damage), we discuss the additional scope and cost with you before proceeding.
Dupaint operates from three Sydney offices to ensure fast response times and local coverage across the metropolitan area.
