What Changes the Price of an Interior Repaint

Two homes of the same size can cost very different amounts to paint inside. These six things move the price most.

  • Number of Rooms

    One bedroom or the whole house.

  • Ceiling Height

    High ceilings and stair voids need extra access.

  • Wall Condition

    Holes, cracks and old wallpaper add prep.

  • Colours and Feature Walls

    Each extra colour adds cutting in.

  • Doors and Trims

    Doors, frames and skirtings take time to do well.

  • Lead Paint

    Needs slower, contained removal.

Your quote is fixed-scope and in writing, based on what Dan sees in each room. All six are accounted for before you agree to anything.

Old Wallpaper and Lead Paint Inside

Two things to check before painting the inside of an older Brisbane house.

Bedroom with patterned wallpaper, timber wardrobes and blue carpet before the repaint

Removing Old Wallpaper

Painting over wallpaper rarely lasts. The paper can lift at the joins, and the pattern can show through the new paint. The paper has to come off first.

We strip the wallpaper, fill and sand the walls underneath, and prime them before painting. On this job the patterned paper came off before the walls were repainted and the stair balustrade was painted white.

Lead Paint in Older Homes

Houses built before 1970 often have lead paint under newer coats. WorkSafe Queensland says it is most likely on windows, doors and skirtings inside older buildings. It is safe while sealed. It becomes a hazard when it is sanded or scraped without control, because the dust spreads through the house.

WorkSafe Queensland lists safer methods, including wet scraping, wet hand sanding and power sanders with HEPA dust extraction. Our team is trained in safe lead paint removal and follows these methods.
