What are the best ways to save money when hiring painters?

  • Hire out of season – summer is the peak time for Indian touching up their homes. For this reason, it will be more difficult to lock down a painter and prices may be higher. In the offseason (May to October), you’ll be in a buyers’ market.
  • Big projects work out cheaper Professionals Painters are more affordable when you hire them for one job, and not multiple small projects at different times. For example, painting four rooms at once will be a lot cheaper than getting four rooms painted individually a month apart.

  • Get a FIXED price, not a daily rate – if there are issues and the work takes longer, your costs can spiral. Make sure the quote also includes GST – if it doesn’t, ask for a new quote that is GST inclusive.
  • Supply your paint – many homeowners are willing to trial test pots and decide not only on color but also a brand before hiring a painter. If you’re relying on your painter to supply paint, ask what paint it is – leading brands such as Resene and DULUX are more expensive than basic paints, so be sure you’re paying in line with the quality. Specialist paints can cost even more. If you have your heart set on a particular paint, your painter may be able to get a discount on it, but often it’s easier to buy it yourself.
  • Remove all wallpaper first – painters are in your home to paint, so having everything ready to go will make the job a lot cheaper.
