Painter Guildford — Interior, Exterior and Rental Painting

Guildford is mid-century Sydney largely unchanged — brick and fibro houses from the fifties and sixties on wide blocks, most of them repainted several times and a good number of them rented.

On the ground

What is on the ceiling matters more than what is on the walls

Textured ceilings are everywhere in Guildford — the sprayed stipple that went into thousands of houses here from the sixties onward — and they are a specific job. The texture drinks paint, so a ceiling takes roughly twice what a flat one does out of the same tin, and that has to be in the quote rather than discovered halfway through. It cannot be sanded smooth without coming off entirely. And on anything built before the mid-eighties it may contain asbestos, which means nobody should be scraping, sanding or drilling into it until it has been tested.

So the rule on our jobs is simple: textured ceilings of that era are coated with a long-nap roller and no aggressive preparation. If the texture is damaged or falling and genuinely has to come off, that is a licensed removalist's job and we will say so and wait rather than take it on because it would be quicker.

Below the ceiling it is ordinary work for the era: hard plaster walls that crack in fine lines along the set rather than at sheet joints, doors and architraves thick with enamel, and hardwood window frames that have weathered where the sun reaches them. All of that is straightforward — it is just that preparation is most of the labour, and it is the part that separates a quote that lasts from a quote that is cheap.

I recently hired All Star Painting Services to repaint the interior of my home, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. From the initial consultation to the final walkthrough, their team was professional, punctual, and attentive to detail. The painter arrived on time each day, kept the work areas clean, and were respectful of my space. They helped me choose the right colors for each room and made sure the finish was smooth and even. I appreciated that they used high-quality, low-VOC paints—great for both durability and indoor air quality. One of the standout aspects was their communication. Evros kept me informed at every stage, addressed my concerns promptly, and ensured everything was completed on schedule.

Evros (Ross) was super friendly to deal with and completed all the work with care and precision. He was efficient and tidied up after himself and caused very little to no disruption whilst my little one slept. Would definitely recommend and use this service again for any future paint jobs! Thanks again Ross, we’re so happy with the work done.

Before you touch a textured ceiling

If the house was built before the mid-eighties, the ceiling texture may contain asbestos. Intact and painted, it is not a hazard. Sanded, scraped or drilled, it can be.

So textured ceilings of that era get coated, not abraded. If yours is damaged or falling and genuinely needs removing, that is a licensed removalist's job, and we will tell you that rather than take it on. Nothing about a paint job is worth cutting that corner.

Choosing colours before we start

We settle the scheme before the first coat, not during it. Bring your own colours or use ours, and we will sample them on your actual walls so you see them in your own light rather than under a shop fluoro — which is where most colour regrets begin.

For a rental or a sale we will steer you towards neutrals that suit the widest audience, and say so plainly if a colour you like is going to narrow it.

FAQs

Painting in Guildford — your questions answered

Straight answers. If yours is not here, call us on 0468 444 654 and ask.

Can you paint a textured ceiling?

Yes, with a long-nap roller and no sanding. Textured ceilings take roughly twice the paint of a flat one, so that is priced in rather than discovered later.

My ceiling texture might contain asbestos.

If the house predates the mid-eighties, assume it might until it is tested. Intact, it can be painted over safely. It must not be sanded or scraped — that is a licensed removalist's job.

How much does a painter cost in Guildford?

It turns on the age and condition of the house more than its size, because preparation is most of the labour on this era of housing. Ross quotes on site with a fixed written price.

My walls crack in fine lines that keep coming back.

Hard plaster cracks along the set rather than at sheet joints. Those need raking out and filling properly; skimming over the top is why they reappear on the same line.

My window frames keep peeling.

Old hardwood needs sanding back to a key and priming before it will hold a coat. Painting over weathered, glossy timber is why it lifts again the following year.

Do you paint rental properties?

Yes. Tell us the relisting date and we will quote the turnaround to it.

Do you provide free quotes?

Yes, on site and with no obligation.

What does the 5-year warranty cover?

Our workmanship. If the finish fails inside five years because of our preparation or application, we come back and fix it, and it stays with the property if you sell.
