Get the Best QuoteWhat House Painting Covers
- Exterior walls. Plastered and painted walls, face-brick sealing, boundary walls and garden walls.
- Interior walls and ceilings. Living areas, bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms and passages.
- Woodwork and metalwork. Doors, frames, skirtings, fascias, burglar bars and steel window frames.
- Roof and gutters. Often quoted together with the walls, as a separate line item.
- Repairs before painting. Crack filling, loose plaster, damp patches and rotten fascia boards.
When a Whole-Home Repaint Makes Sense
- Paint is fading, chalking or peeling on the sunny sides of the house.
- You are selling, buying or renting out and want the home in one consistent condition.
- Several rooms need painting anyway, so one booking costs less than separate visits.
- You are changing the colour scheme inside and out.
- Hairline cracks have opened up and the walls need filling before the summer rains.
How a House Painting Job Runs
- Site visit. The painter measures walls, checks for damp and cracks and agrees the colours.
- Order of work. Most painters do the exterior in dry weather first, then move inside.
- Preparation. Washing, scraping loose paint, filling cracks and sanding glossy surfaces.
- Priming. Bare plaster, repaired patches and new wood or steel get a suitable primer.
- Two finishing coats. Applied by brush, roller or spray, depending on the surface.
- Snag list. You walk through the house with the painter before final payment.

What Affects the Quotation
- Wall area in m², ceiling heights and the number of storeys.
- The condition of existing paint and how much crack and plaster repair is needed.
- Whether the roof, gutters, boundary walls and woodwork are included.
- Paint quality and colour changes. Dark to light needs more coats.
- Scaffolding or ladders for double-storey walls.
- Whether furniture must be moved and rooms worked on while you live there.
Pretoria Conditions to Plan For
Pretoria gets most of its rain in summer thunderstorms, often with hail, and very little in winter. Painters usually prefer the dry months for exterior work, but cold winter mornings slow drying, so work tends to start once walls have warmed up. Strong sun at Highveld altitude fades colour and chalks paint fastest on north- and west-facing walls, which is worth noting when you compare paint specifications.

Is house painting the same as residential painting?
Yes. This page covers residential painting of a whole home. If you only need one part done, see the interior or exterior painting pages.
Do I need to move out while the house is painted?
Usually not. Painters work room by room inside and keep exterior work separate. Ask for a schedule so you know which rooms are out of use each day.
How long does it take to paint a house?
A typical three-bedroom home often takes one to three weeks, depending on preparation, weather and whether the roof is included. The painter should give you a timeline in writing.
Should the paint be included in the quotation?
Ask for it either way, but make sure the brand, product name and number of coats are written down so you can compare quotations fairly.
Can old homes have lead paint?
Older homes can have lead-based paint on doors and trims. Ask how sanding dust will be controlled before work starts.
