Typical range for this work. Your quote is fixed once we have seen the job.
Exteriors near the coast take a beating that inland homes never see. Salt carried in on the wind sits on the surface, and sun off the water fades the northern and eastern walls first. Preparation and the right system matter more here than the brand of paint.
How long it takes: Single-storey exterior takes "two to four days" (thequoteyard.com.au, painter pricing guide NSW, 2026-09); render double-storey with scaffolding 5–9 days (thequoteyard.com.au render painting NSW)
What moves the price
Why two quotes differ
Lead paint in pre-1970s homes
lead paint management on pre-1970s homes adds "$500 to $2,000" to typical projects
Second storey / scaffold
scaffolding "$2,000 to $5,000" for double-storey homes; double-storey costs are 40–60% higher than single storey
Substrate — weatherboard vs brick
weatherboard homes cost 20–40% more per square metre to paint than brick or render because each board is inspected, nail holes filled, peeling paint scraped and feathered, joints recaulked
Location within NSW
regional NSW pricing runs "15 to 25 percent below Sydney" equivalents
Season
autumn and spring offer "the most consistently suitable conditions" for application and curing across NSW
