Letting a painting company into your home or business is a big decision, so we make it easy to check who you are dealing with. It is also why Dupaint is highly recommended by homeowners, strata managers and business owners across the inner south.

Our residential interior painting services cover walls, ceilings, doors, skirting boards, architraves and window frames. We protect floors and furniture, patch cracks, sand and prime where needed, then apply finish coats in the sheen that suits each room. Low-VOC paints are available for bedrooms, nurseries and apartments with limited ventilation.
Sydney sun, humidity and summer storms are hard on painted surfaces. Our exterior team pressure cleans, scrapes back failing paint, repairs timber and render, and seals joints before applying exterior-grade coatings to facades, fascias, gutters, eaves and fences. Explore our full exterior painting services.
Waterloo’s Victorian terraces have cast iron lace, timber joinery and ornate plaster that need careful handling. Our heritage painters bring the expertise to remove built-up layers, repair the substrate and help you choose period-appropriate colours. We can also advise when a colour change to a street-facing facade may need City of Sydney approval.
With thousands of new apartments around Waterloo Metro and Green Square, strata painting is a big part of our local work. We paint lobbies, corridors, stairwells, car parks and every common area, coordinate access with building managers, and schedule work to limit disruption for residents. Owners can also book apartment painting for a single unit.
As commercial painters, our team paints offices, studios, retail fit-outs, cafes and warehouses along Botany Road and around Danks Street. We work around your trading hours, including early starts, after-hours and weekend shifts, so your business space stays open and customers are not disrupted. Learn more about our commercial painters.
For something beyond a flat colour, we create feature walls, Venetian plaster, limewash and marble effects. These finishes enhance Waterloo’s warehouse conversions and gallery-inspired interiors, where texture and colours do much of the design work.
Waterloo sits about 3 kilometres south of the Sydney CBD in the City of Sydney local government area, and its housing is some of the most varied in the city. Knowing how each building type behaves, and bringing that expertise to every job, is what separates skilled painters from a generic crew.
The older streets around Cope Street, Wellington Street and Raglan Street are lined with Victorian and Federation terraces. Many have lime-based plaster, damp in the lower walls and decades of old paint, so preparation takes longer and product choice takes real know how.
Around Danks Street, known for its contemporary art galleries, former industrial buildings have become apartments, studios and showrooms. Exposed brick, steel and concrete need specialist primers and coatings rather than standard wall paint.
Near Waterloo Metro station, Waterloo Park and the Green Square boundary, newer high-rise projects bring strata by-laws, lift bookings, common area access rules and work-hour restrictions. We plan those logistics into the quote, and in a competitive property market a well-presented building helps protect its value.
We visit your property, measure up, check the surfaces and discuss your goals and colours. There is no charge and no obligation.
Your quote sets out preparation, products, number of coats and an estimated timeline, so you can compare it properly with other painting contractors.
We protect floors, furniture and gardens, complete repairs and priming, then paint to the agreed specification, tidying the site at the end of each day.
Maz or a senior team member walks through the job with you and completes any touch-ups on the spot. Once customer satisfaction is confirmed, your 5-year warranty begins.
Every painting project is quoted individually because surface condition, access and finish all affect the price. As a guide, based on typical Sydney projects:
Heritage terraces needing extensive preparation, and strata buildings needing scaffolding, sit at the higher end. Our Sydney house painting cost guide has a full breakdown. Prices are indicative only and your quote will reflect your property.
Most professional painters in Australia charge roughly $50 to $80 per hour, with Sydney rates toward the upper end because of higher labour and travel costs. Dupaint quotes by the job rather than by the hour, so you know the full cost of your painting project upfront.
In Sydney, painting a house typically costs from about $1,500 for a small interior job to more than $19,000 for a full interior and exterior repaint of a larger home. Size, surface condition, access and paint quality are the biggest cost drivers.
At typical Sydney rates of $40 to $60 per square metre of floor area, painting the interior of a 100 square metre home usually costs about $4,000 to $6,000. Exteriors, heritage detailing and major repairs are priced separately.
A full interior repaint of a four-bedroom house usually takes around 80 to 120 labour hours. With two to three house painters on site, that typically means one to two weeks, depending on preparation, ceiling heights and drying time between coats.
Reliable painting contractors, and the best painters in Waterloo, hold a current NSW contractor licence and public liability insurance, and provide a written quote that details surface preparation and a clear timeline. Compare two or three quotes, read recent Google reviews and ask neighbours for recommendations. Our guide to choosing a painter in Sydney walks through each check.
Yes. Every Dupaint job is backed by a 5-year warranty, so the exceptional outcomes you see on handover are protected for years afterwards.
