What goes into the number.
We scale a typical exterior paint range by your home's size, surface type, finish, and complexity factors like scaffolding and second-storey work.
- House footprint and number of storeys.
- Surface type — weatherboard is much more labour-intensive than brick or render.
- Substrate condition — cracking render, peeling paint and rotten weatherboards add significant prep.
- Access — scaffolding, steep blocks or tight side passages slow the job down.
- Paint system — high-build acrylics and Dulux Weathershield Plus / equivalents cost more but last longer.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a exterior painting cost in Geelong?
In Geelong, a typical exterior painting costs between $4,410 and $17,640 in 2026, with most projects landing around $9,310. Pricing varies with size, finish level, complexity and your specific site.
How long does exterior painting last?
A quality exterior system on stable substrate should last 8–12 years before recoating. Weatherboard and coastal homes are at the shorter end of that range.
Should I paint the roof at the same time?
If your roof is structurally sound but tired, painting it during the same project is significantly cheaper than scheduling a separate job — scaffolding and prep are already in place.
What's the best time of year to paint?
Late autumn and spring tend to be ideal in most of Australia. Avoid extreme heat (>32°C) and rain — both compromise paint adhesion.
