Frequently Asked Questions: Residential Painting in Auckland

  • Pricing depends on the size of your home, the number of rooms, and the level of prep required.
    For a standard 3-bedroom home in Auckland, interior painting typically ranges from $6,000 to $12,000, while exterior painting starts around $8,000 and can exceed $20,000 for large weatherboard homes.

    We offer free site visits and transparent quotes so you know exactly what you're paying for — no hidden fees, no surprises.

  • For most Auckland homes, interior painting takes 5–7 working days, and exterior painting can take 7–14 days, depending on weather, surface condition, and complexity.

    We’ll always give you a clear project timeline before we start — and we stick to it.

  • For exterior painting, the best months are typically October through April, when humidity is lower and dry weather allows paint to cure properly.
    Interior painting can be done year-round, as we use professional ventilation and drying systems if needed.

    We monitor weather conditions daily and plan around Auckland’s unpredictable rain.

  • The most popular Resene colours for Auckland interiors include:

    • Resene Quarter Black White (for a fresh, clean look)

    • Resene Sea Fog (soft grey for modern homes)

    • Resene Spanish White (classic villa/bungalow tones)

  • Yes — we offer gib fixing, plastering, and full surface prep as part of our residential painting service. That includes:

    • Filling holes

    • Repairing hairline cracks

    • Sanding rough walls

    • Replacing damaged gib if needed

    Prepping properly means the paint lasts longer and looks better.

  • In Auckland homes, these are the most commonly used finishes:

    • Low sheen: Ideal for living areas and bedrooms — smooth with soft reflection

    • Semi-gloss: Great for bathrooms, kitchens, and trims — easy to clean and moisture-resistant

    • Matte/flat: Best for ceilings or walls where you want to hide imperfections

    We’ll help you choose the right finish based on how you use each room.

  • Yes — we use professional colour-matching tools and paint databases to replicate existing paint accurately, even if you don’t know the colour name.

    This is especially useful for touch-ups, renovations, or when selling your home.

  • We primarily use Resene paint, which is formulated for NZ conditions and is trusted by most Auckland homeowners and architects.
    However, we’re happy to work with Dulux or specialty brands if you have a preference. Both are excellent quality — the key is applying them correctly with professional prep.

  • We make the process easy — all you need to do is:

    • Remove or cover valuable items

    • Move furniture to the centre of the room where possible

    • Let us know about any pets or special instructions

    Our team takes care of drop sheets, taping, masking, and protection. We can also move furniture for you if needed.
