Hiring a Painter in Morley

Before hiring any painter in Morley, use this checklist to protect yourself and ensure you're working with a properly licensed and insured professional.

  1. Ask what surface preparation they include in the quote — The biggest differentiator between a good and bad paint job is preparation. Ask whether the quote includes washing, scraping, sanding, crack filling, spot priming, and caulking — or just "two coats of paint." Skimping on prep leads to peeling and flaking within months.
  2. Confirm which paint brand and product line they will use — Reputable painters specify the exact product — for example, Dulux Weathershield or Taubmans All Weather — in their quote. Vague descriptions like "premium paint" can mean anything. Ask for the product data sheet so you can verify it is fit for purpose (e.g. exterior grade for outside walls, low-VOC for nurseries).
  3. Check whether they hold a QBCC or equivalent painting licence — In Queensland, painting and decorating work over $3,300 (inc. GST) requires a QBCC licence. NSW requires a licence for work over $5,000. Ask to see the licence and verify it on the relevant state register — unlicensed painters have no accountability for defective work.
  4. Ask about their approach to lead paint on older homes — Homes built before 1970 are likely to contain lead-based paint. Disturbing lead paint without proper containment creates serious health hazards. Ask the painter whether they will test for lead before sanding or scraping, and what containment measures they use if lead is found.
  5. Request a written colour specification and number of coats — Ensure the quote specifies the exact colour codes, the number of coats for each surface (walls, ceilings, trims), and which surfaces receive which finish (e.g. low sheen for walls, semi-gloss for trims). This prevents disputes about coverage and sheen levels after the job is complete.
Pro Tip

Get at least three quotes and compare not just price, but response time, warranty on workmanship, and whether the quote includes parts.

Red Flags to Watch For
  • Quotes without inspecting the surfaces first — A painter who quotes over the phone or from a photo without inspecting wall condition, existing coatings, and potential issues like mould, cracks, or lead paint cannot give you an accurate price. Expect a site visit for any job beyond a single room.
  • Does not specify paint brand or product in the quote — Painters who use vague terms like "quality paint" may be using cheap, diluted, or off-brand products. A professional painter will specify the exact brand, product name, and colour code in their written quote so you can verify the product is fit for purpose.
  • Proposes painting over mould, peeling, or damp surfaces — Painting over mould or moisture problems traps the issue behind the new coating and guarantees early failure. A professional painter will identify mould and damp, recommend remediation (which may involve another trade), and only paint once the substrate is sound and dry.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does an exterior paint job last in Australia?

A quality exterior paint job using premium acrylic paint over properly prepared surfaces typically lasts 10–15 years in moderate climates and 7–10 years in harsh conditions (coastal salt spray, intense UV in northern Australia, or heavy rainfall areas). Factors that shorten paint life include poor surface preparation, low-quality paint, and applying paint in extreme heat or humidity.

Do painters need a licence in Australia?

Requirements vary by state. In Queensland, painting and decorating work valued over $3,300 (inc. GST) requires a QBCC licence. In NSW, a licence is required for work over $5,000. Victoria does not require a specific painting licence, but the painter must be registered as a building practitioner for work over $10,000. Even where not legally required, hiring a licensed painter gives you access to dispute resolution through the licensing body.

How many coats of paint do I need?

For a standard repaint over a sound existing surface, two coats of topcoat are standard. If changing from a dark to light colour, you may need a tinted primer plus two topcoats. New plasterboard requires a dedicated sealer/primer coat plus two topcoats. Exterior surfaces in harsh conditions may benefit from three coats. Any painter who offers "one coat" for a full repaint is likely cutting corners.

What is the difference between water-based and oil-based paint?

Water-based (acrylic) paints dry faster, have lower odour, are easier to clean up, and are now the standard for most interior and exterior walls in Australia. Oil-based (enamel) paints provide a harder, more durable finish and are still preferred by some painters for trims, doors, and high-traffic areas. However, modern water-based enamels have largely closed the durability gap.

Should I move my furniture or does the painter handle that?

Most painters expect rooms to be largely cleared before they start, or they will quote an additional fee for moving and covering furniture. At minimum, remove breakables and small items. Professional painters should cover remaining furniture and floors with drop sheets and mask off skirting boards, light switches, and fittings.

How do I verify a painter's licence in WA?

You can verify any painter's licence using TradieVerify's free search tool or directly through the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety register. Enter the painter's name or licence number to confirm their licence status, class, and any disciplinary history.
