Two-storey Richmond terraces need scaffold or trestle work. Apartment exteriors need OC sign-off and sometimes EWP hire. Off-street parking access changes setup time. We factor it all before quoting.

What Changes the Price of a Richmond Painting Quote
There's no published "Richmond painter price list", and anyone showing you one is guessing. Here's what your quote actually depends on.
01
Surface area & number of coats
The biggest cost driver. A 3-bedroom Richmond terrace interior typically needs ~300m² of paintable surface with 2 coats. Double-coats on previously-unpainted plaster, undercoat on tannin-prone timbers, refresh work in one coat.
02
Prep work required
Sanding, filling, patching, lead-paint handling for pre-1970 homes (most of Richmond), gap-sealing, mould treatment on damp walls. Prep is 40-60% of total labour on heritage exteriors.
03
Paint product specified
Paint choice moves the number too: Dulux Wash & Wear sits below Haymes Ultra-Premium, and Wattyl Solagard is specified where a Richmond exterior faces full sun off Bridge Road or salt-laden wind along the river flats. Whatever is written on the quote is what goes on the wall — no swapping to a cheaper tin once the job is under way.

$20M Insurance
Full $20 million public liability insurance, certificates of currency supplied on request. It is what most Richmond owners corporations and the converted-warehouse buildings around Cremorne and Swan Street require before a painter is allowed on site.
Reliable Scheduling
Start dates we commit to and actually keep, auction and settlement deadlines built into the plan, and seven-day contact so a question about your Richmond project reaches a real person rather than a queue ticket.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Phi, Edward, and the Newline Painting team on one of our projects. From the very start, communication was smooth and professional. Their attention to detail, efficiency, and high-quality work made the entire process seamless. We look forward to collaborating with them again on future projects.

Last week, Newline Painting completed exterior house painting for us, and we couldn't be happier with the results. From the owner, Phi, and manager, Edward, to the three team members, everyone worked together seamlessly to ensure the job was done smoothly. Our house now looks refreshed and vibrant. We highly recommend the Newline Painting team and sincerely thank them for their hard work and exceptional service—it is truly appreciated.

Phi is great to deal with, he was very generous with his time and ran me through the entire painting process and what to expect. Can't recommend him or the Newline team highly enough

From start to finish, from booking to project complete, Newline did an awsome job. Selling a property is stressful enough and they certainly took the worry out of presenting the property in top condition. Not only the painting, but small cracks or a loose piece of skirting was instantly fixed. Couldn't believe it was the same property when they had finished. 6 stars if I could.

Thank you for the great job painting our house in Camberwell for sale before Christmas! Really appreciate the work your team did expertly for our bathroom, living room, bedrooms and the external house walls. Your team was efficient and friendly. We are very happy as it added at least $200,000 to the final house sale price.

They are quality tradesmen, very respectful of our space and left it in great condition at the end of each work day. Great attention to detail.
Each of the team were extremely pleasant to deal with, easy communication including Roi at head office.

I had a great experience with the Newline painting team. They offered a competitive price to repaint the interior of my apartment and were able to accommodate my tight timeline (they started 1 day after the quote was given) and still delivered high-quality work. Communication was smooth and professional from start to finish. I’m really happy with the result and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

All Newline Painting staff, Edward and his team were phenomenal. We needed to wait for another contractor to finish before starting the painting of the front facade of our house and despite a moving timeline, the NP team were quick to respond, courteous and were ready as soon as we were. The painting job is fantastic - the painters' attention to detail, thoroughness and efficiency was second to none. I'm very glad we went with NP as they're solution oriented and easy to work with. We'll definitely be hiring them again soon.

Great communication from Ray, who’s even been following up with my queries in evening and weekend. The job was done quickly from very experienced professionals. There are three people working on the job together to get it done quickly. Would certainly recommend Newline painting to others.

Big thanks to the Newline Painting team for the work on my outdoor walls. After Ed and the team finished the painting, I was so happy with the results and how great it looked compared to what it previously was. Highly recommend.

Ed and his team at Newline Painting did an outstanding job on repainting the interior of my home in South Melbourne! They were swift, tidy and professional throughout the entire project —5 stars wouldn’t be enough to rate their work. They weren't the cheapest quote we got but they definitely kept their promise on timeline, professionalism and their quality of work. Keep up the great work, guys! Highly recommend Newline Painting!

Local Know-How
What We Know About Painting in Richmond
Bridge Rd, Richmond, 1908 · Wikimedia PD
Heritage overlays change everything about exterior work
Large parts of Richmond, particularly Richmond Hill, Lennox Street, parts of Church Street and Bridge Road, fall within City of Yarra heritage overlays. If you’re repainting the exterior of a heritage-listed Victorian terrace and changing the colour scheme significantly, you may need planning approval. We help clients understand whether their project needs a permit before quoting.
Lead paint is real, and pre-1970 Richmond homes have it
Most Richmond properties predate 1970. Lead-based paint was standard until then. Dry-sanding old paint releases lead dust into the air and into your home. Our painters follow Australian Standard AS 4361.2 for lead paint handling: wet sanding, HEPA-filtered extraction, sealed disposal. We provide written confirmation on request.
Edwardian terraces, Richmond · Wikimedia CC BY-SA
Inner-city exposure picks your exterior paint system
Richmond gets pollution from the Eastern Freeway and Hoddle Street, west-facing sun on the streets that catch the afternoon, and humidity off the Yarra. Generic exterior paint won’t last. We specify Dulux Weathershield or Haymes Ultra-Premium for most Richmond exteriors, with Wattyl Solagard for high-exposure facades.
Apartment work needs strata communication
Richmond’s apartment stock, particularly around Bridge Road, Cremorne, and the river, is mostly under Owners Corporation management. Painting common areas, balcony soffits, or even your own front door (if it faces a common corridor) needs OC approval. We deal with the OC for you when needed.

7-Year Warranty
A written seven-year workmanship guarantee sits behind every finish, so a Richmond Hill terrace or Bridge Road warehouse conversion still looks right years after the crew has gone — not just on handover day.
$20M Insurance
Full $20 million public liability cover with certificates of currency ready on request — the paperwork the warehouse-conversion owners corporations off Swan and Church Streets check before anyone starts.
Reliable Scheduling
Firm start dates and a timeline you can plan around — a Bridge Road auction campaign, a settlement date, or simply getting the terrace back to normal — instead of a vague promise to turn up eventually.
