Best painters in Hobart

In Australia, painting service costs vary greatly due to the many types of properties available in the market, as well as different pricing structures painters may apply to their services. Painters can charge per hour, per square metre (painted), or even per job.

The average reported cost of hiring a painter in Hobart is between $35 and $45 per hour. This rate also changes depending on the type of painting job being completed - for example, interior painting jobs usually cost between $18 and $30 per square metre, while exterior painting jobs cost between $15 and $45.

Other factors which may influence the cost of a painting service in Hobart include:

• The size of the surface being painted: Usually measured per square metre, the size of the surface being painted greatly influences the price of the surface. The larger the surface area, the more expensive it will be to hire a painter.
• The type of paint being used: Different types of paint come with different price tags. For example, eco-friendly or low-VOC paints may be more expensive than traditional paints. As such, using eco-friendly or low-VOC paint will add to the overall price of your service.
• The type of painting job being completed: Different painting jobs have varying levels of difficulty. Jobs that are more complex (e.g. decorative painting) will incur higher costs than simpler jobs (e.g. paint stripping).
• Where you are located: Prices for painting services in Hobart also vary depending on where you are located. For example, painting services near the CBD will be more expensive than those in the outer suburbs.
• The type of finish being used: Similar to the type of paint being used, different finishes also vary in price. Using a more expensive finish naturally means a costlier painting service.
• The number of coats required: The more coats required, the more you'll end up paying for your painting job. Usually, additional coats will be needed for areas that experience high traffic or are exposed to the elements.

Painters in Hobart use a wide variety of finishes depending on the surface and job at hand. Some types of finishes are better suited to particular surfaces - for example, high-gloss paint is recommended for trims and doors as it's easier to clean, whereas semi-gloss is recommended for walls as it's more durable.

Other popular finishes used by painters in Hobart include:

• Flat/matte: A non-reflective paint finish that is ideal for hiding imperfections on walls. It is often used on ceilings and low-traffic areas such as bedrooms and living rooms.
• Eggshell: A low-sheen paint finish that is often used in high-traffic areas such as hallways and kitchens. It is more durable than flat/matte finishes and can be easily cleaned.
• Metallic: A paint finish that contains tiny shimmering particles, giving the surface a light-reflective quality. It is often used to add a touch of luxury or for decorative purposes.
• Pearl: A paint finish that contains larger shimmering particles than metallic finishes. It is often used to add a touch of luxury or for decorative purposes.
