What Do Painters Cost In New Zealand
How Much Does Painting Cost and How Much Do Painters Charge?
Getting three quotes is the Kiwi way to go when you are looking at getting any tradesperson in to do your work. This is no different when it comes to painting work.
We always get asked, “How much do you charge?” and often, a quote may not have a comprehensive breakdown of costs that satisfies your desire to understand how the quote has been put together, showing the total cost of your job.

Understanding how pricing is structured will help you make a more educated decision. It’s important to appreciate that scope will affect your bottom-line cost.
Some cost variables you need to consider, which are not included in the pricing above, are:
-
Commercial or residential applications. In commercial environments, stricter health and safety licensing is required, adding more cost to admin and compliance.
-
Multilevel dwellings may require scaffolding or specialist access methods.
-
New or existing. Stripping old paint off vs. just applying new paint makes a difference in time and cost.
-
Specialist applications such as wet areas, laboratories, or kitchens may require specialist materials and painting methods.
The above conditions are only a few that may affect the quote you are looking for. If you are unsure or looking to get a second opinion on an existing quote, take advantage of our obligation-free quoting service and contact us today to arrange a time to review your project!
