If we have a match, no more than 3 businesses that cover Acacia Gardens may contact you directly.
Before you hire a painter
When they join, tradies confirm they hold the licences and insurance their work requires, but we don't independently check those documents at present. We provide the introduction: the business quotes and carries out the work directly, and we don't supervise the work or guarantee the outcome.
- Ask for the relevant NSW licence number.
- Check the licence with NSW Fair Trading.
- Request current insurance details.
- Get the scope, price and timing in writing.
What affects the price
Painting prices are mainly determined by:
- Surface condition. How much filling, sanding and preparation is needed before painting.
- Paint quality. Premium paints cost more but generally last longer.
- Access. Upper levels need scaffolding or ladders with the right safety set-up.
- Number of coats. Covering dark colours or stains takes more coats than a like-for-like repaint.
Ask about any call-out fee before someone visits, and compare written quotes for the same scope of work.

Hiring a painter in Acacia Gardens
Acacia Gardens (postcode 2763) is in the northern part of Blacktown City, which includes the North West Growth Area. A residential suburb in the north of Blacktown City, made up mainly of established family homes.
Homes in established suburbs vary widely in age and construction. If you know roughly when your home was built, or what has been renovated since, mention it in the job description: it helps a business understand what they're likely to find.
Established homes may need an exterior refresh on eaves, fascias and trims, and interior repaints when rooms are updated. Ask the painter how they'll prepare older surfaces, and whether repairs such as filling cracks or replacing rotten timber are included.
For an exterior repaint in Acacia Gardens, ask which products the painter recommends for walls that get strong afternoon sun, and how they'll prepare surfaces that are chalky, flaking or cracked. For an interior repaint, agree on which walls, ceilings, doors and trims are included.
What to put in your request
Describe the rooms or surfaces, whether it's inside or outside, single or double storey, and the condition of the existing paint. Say whether you've chosen colours and whether ceilings, doors and trims are included. Don't include your street address in the description.
What to ask before hiring
Ask the painter for their licence number if the job needs one, proof of public liability insurance, photos of similar work, how they'll prepare the surfaces, which paint they'll use and how many coats are included. Get it all in writing.
Licences and rules in NSW
In NSW, painting jobs over $5,000 (labour and materials, including GST) need a licence. If your home was built before 1970, ask how the painter will test for and manage lead paint before sanding or scraping.
Painting upkeep through the year
Walk around the outside of the house once a year and note any peeling, cracking or chalky paint, and gaps around windows and joins that need filling. Touching up early helps keep moisture out between full repaints. Clean exterior walls gently before repainting.
When a business contacts you, it's fine to ask whether they've done similar jobs nearby and when they could start.
