Cost of Painting a House in Claremont
By Claremont Painters - Expert advice from the professionals
Painting costs in Claremont and the Southern Suburbs vary considerably depending on property size, surface condition, accessibility and the quality of products specified. This guide gives you realistic price ranges for the area and helps you evaluate quotes correctly.
Typical Prices in Claremont (2024-2025)
Exterior wall painting in Claremont typically runs R35-R75 per square metre depending on condition, accessibility and product grade. Older properties with more preparation needs are at the higher end. Interior painting ranges from R28-R58 per square metre. Ceiling painting is R22-R45. Roof painting runs R35-R72 including pressure wash, fungicidal treatment and preparation. Double-storey properties with scaffolding requirements cost more than single-storey.
What Drives Pricing in the Southern Suburbs
The preparation requirements on older Southern Suburbs properties are typically more extensive than on newer properties. Biological treatment, crack repair, old paint assessment and lime plaster consideration all add to preparation time and cost — but they are the difference between a paint job that lasts three years and one that lasts seven.
