Floors, furniture and adjoining surfaces are carefully covered and protected before work begins.
Prepare
Cracks, holes and imperfections are filled, surfaces are sanded and bare areas are primed where required.
Paint
We apply the appropriate paint system and finish for each surface, with careful cutting-in and even coverage.
Clean & inspect
Work areas are cleaned throughout the project and the finished surfaces are checked before completion.

"After moving into my newly renovated home, I found that the whiteness of my home was just too stark and with the help of Carolyn the colour consultant and Chris my home has been transformed into a beautiful oasis. Quick to respond and accommodated changes during the quoting stage with Chris's expert insights and suggestions allowed me to have the work done within my budget. Cannot fault the workmanship, super happy with the results. A pleasure to deal with would highly recommend."

Frequently asked questions
How long does an interior repaint take?
The timeframe depends on the size of the home, surface condition and the amount of preparation required. We discuss timing before work starts and provide a clear schedule for the project.
Do I need to move furniture before painting?
We ask homeowners to remove smaller items and personal belongings where practical. Larger furniture is moved or carefully covered as part of preparing the work area.
How do you prepare interior walls before painting?
Preparation depends on the condition of the surface. It often includes filling cracks and holes, sanding, repairing damaged areas and priming where required before applying the finish coats.
What paint finish is best for interior walls?
The right finish depends on the room, surface and level of wear. Living areas, kitchens, bathrooms, trims and doors often need different products and sheen levels. We recommend the paint system during the quotation process.
Do you help with paint colours?
Yes. Sterling offers colour consultation to help select colours and finishes that suit your home, light, furnishings and architectural style.
Do you paint weatherboards and period homes?
How much does it cost to paint the interior of my house?
Pricing depends on several factors, including the size of the home, the condition of the surfaces, access and the materials being painted. We use Master Painters Association industry costings as a guide when preparing quotes, with pricing based on the preparation and work required to achieve a quality, lasting finish.
