Dupaint is a Sydney exterior painting company that has been repainting houses, commercial buildings and strata properties since 1998. We paint Federation homes in the Inner West, harbour-side properties across the Eastern Suburbs, modern builds in the Hills District, and everything in between, backed by a 5-year warranty on every exterior paint job.
Every Dupaint exterior project is led personally by Maz Nassimi and the senior team, and every job is covered by a 5-year workmanship warranty. We hold a $20M public liability insurance policy (BP2768149) and a current NSW Painting and Decorating Contractors Licence (278000C).
“Maz and Victor turned my tired 1960s unit into a modern masterpiece of simplicity and elegance. Their workmanship is exceptional and their attention to detail is truly next level. Yes, they are a premium service, and they are worth every single cent.”

Past projects include the InterContinental Hotel Double Bay and ongoing commercial fitouts across Sydney with Beyond Building Solutions, alongside hundreds of harbour-side homes, terraces, freestanding houses and strata buildings across every Sydney region, exterior painting is one part of our wider work as Sydney painters.
We deliver exterior painting for residential, commercial and strata properties across the entire Sydney metropolitan area.
The exterior of your home is exposed to the harshest conditions of any surface you own, Sydney sun, harbour humidity, salt-laden coastal air, and seasonal storms. Our residential exterior painting services repaint and protect houses, terraces, semis, freestanding homes and townhouses. We handle facades, eaves, soffits, gutters, fascias, window frames, doors, garage doors, decks, fences, retaining walls and roofs.
We work across every Sydney housing typology, Federation homes in Annandale and Paddington, Victorian terraces in Surry Hills and Glebe, mid-century homes in Mosman and Cremorne, contemporary builds in the Hills District, and harbour-side residences in Vaucluse and Rose Bay.
We repaint office buildings, retail premises, restaurants, hotels, schools and warehouses across Sydney. Most commercial exterior painting work happens outside business hours or in staged sections to keep your operation running. Past projects include the InterContinental Hotel Double Bay and commercial fitouts across the CBD with Beyond Building Solutions.
We paint apartment building facades, common-area exteriors, balcony railings, common walkways and external stairwells. Strata painting projects involve owners corporations, scaffolding and EWP coordination, dust and access management for residents, and staged work that keeps the building occupied throughout. We have the public liability cover and documentation strata committees require.
Sydney homes are built from a mix of materials and each surface needs its own preparation method and paint system. We assess the substrate first, then specify a system designed for it.
Weatherboard homes are common across the Inner West, lower North Shore and parts of the Eastern Suburbs. Timber expands and contracts with humidity, so we use flexible exterior systems over fully sanded, primed boards. We replace rotted boards, fill nail holes, caulk joints and prime bare timber before topcoats.
Rendered facades are everywhere across modern Sydney builds and renovated Federation homes. Render fails in predictable ways, hairline cracks, drummy patches, efflorescence, and these need to be addressed before painting. We crack-bridge with elastomeric coatings where movement is active, repair drummy sections, and apply masonry-rated paint that lets the substrate breathe.
We paint brick exteriors with high-build masonry paints that bridge mortar joints and resist water ingress. For older Sydney homes with double-brick construction, we use breathable systems that don’t trap moisture inside the wall. Painting a brick house is a significant decision, we’ll walk you through the long-term implications at the quote.
Fibre cement cladding is common on contemporary Hills District and Inner West builds. The factory primer dulls over time, so we sand, prime any exposed cuts and apply two coats of exterior acrylic. Joins and end cuts need extra attention to stop moisture wicking into the sheet.
Sydney’s salt-laden coastal air is hard on metal. We treat rust back to bare metal, prime with an etch primer, and topcoat with metal-rated paint — Dulux Roof Plus or equivalent for roofs, Dulux Super Enamel or Aquanamel for trims and gutters. We also handle timber and metal fence painting as part of an exterior package or as a standalone job.
Concrete driveways, garage floors, retaining walls and pool surrounds need either a concrete-specific paint or a sealer-and-topcoat system. We grind, etch or pressure-clean depending on the surface, then apply UV-stable concrete coatings. See our guide to exterior wall coatings for more on protective systems.
The Sydney sun is intense, particularly on north and west-facing walls. Cheaper paint fades, chalks and loses gloss within two to three years. We specify UV-stable exterior systems with proven Sydney performance, typically 8 to 12-year repaint cycles on quality work, versus 4 to 6 years on budget systems.
Most peeling paint is caused by moisture trapped under the previous coat, painting over a glossy or chalking surface without prep, or using the wrong paint system for the substrate. We strip the failed paint back to a sound surface, address the root cause, and rebuild the system properly. See our blog post on common exterior paint problems for more.
Exterior painting in Sydney typically ranges from $50 to $100 per square metre for standard work. For most properties, you can expect:
Final pricing depends on access (scaffolding versus ladder), surface condition (how much prep and repair is needed), the paint system specified and the number of coats. For an accurate figure on your property we provide a free on-site quote. See our full Sydney house painting cost guide for a broader breakdown.
Weather affects all of the above, we paint in dry conditions over 10°C with no rain forecast for 24 hours after the final coat. More on Sydney painting conditions.
We follow the same documented process on every exterior job, scaled to the property size.
Most Sydney exteriors need a repaint every 8 to 12 years on quality paint systems, more frequently on coastal or harbour-side properties where salt accelerates wear. At the quote stage we’ll tell you whether your exterior needs a full repaint or just touch-ups in problem areas. More on how long exterior paint lasts.
March to May and September to November are ideal in Sydney, stable temperatures, low humidity and manageable UV. Summer is workable but heat can affect drying. Winter painting is fine in dry weeks but rain delays can extend project timelines.
Yes. We can include the roof (Colorbond or tiled), gutters, eaves, fascias and downpipes in a single project, or quote them separately if you only need part of the work done.
Yes. For residential exteriors we work standard daytime hours and clean up each day so your home is liveable throughout. For commercial exteriors we routinely work outside business hours or in staged sections to avoid disrupting your operation.
