Painting costs in Sydney vary significantly depending on the size of the property, surface condition, access requirements, preparation needed and the type of coating system specified.
Every job is different. What matters is matching the right solution to your property — not giving you a number before we've seen the job. Below is an honest guide to help you understand what's involved.
| Service | Guide Price |
|---|---|
| Standard exterior repaint on render | $55–$85/m² per m² |
| Protective coating system | $95–$160/m² per m² |

| Exterior repaint (average home) | $6,500–$12,000+ |

Important: Minimum project pricing applies. Smaller areas still require full setup, washing, masking, materials, preparation and curing time. We will always be upfront about this before work begins.
No two homes are the same. These are the main factors that affect pricing for painting and protective coating projects in Sydney:
A standard repaint primarily improves appearance and provides basic weather protection. It is suitable for well-maintained facades in good condition.
A protective coating system is a higher-build membrane coating specifically designed for rendered and masonry surfaces. It provides improved crack bridging, water resistance and long-term facade protection. For homes in Sydney experiencing cracks, weathering or coastal exposure, a protective coating system may provide significantly better long-term value.
We assess every property before recommending either option. We will never upsell a more expensive system when a standard repaint is all that is needed.
Every X Deco job is backed by a 2-year workmanship warranty covering all defects. The premium coating systems we specify carry manufacturer warranties of up to 10 years.
But our best warranty is our process. With the right assessment, correct surface preparation and proper product specification, we aim to eliminate problems before they happen. We do the job right the first time — which means you should never need to chase us for warranty work.
Exterior repaints in Sydney typically range from $55–$85/m² per m² for standard render repaints up to $110–$180/m² per m² for protective coating systems with crack repair. Full house repaints generally range from $6,500 to $15,000+ depending on size and condition.
