Painting service
Trusted by insurance builders, strata managers, and quality-conscious homeowners across Perth.
Fence, pergola, patio and decking painting across Perth for timber and Colorbond: pressure-washed and prepped first, then oiled, stained or painted to handle the weather.
The offer
The outdoor structures take the same Perth sun the house does, but they get far less attention until the timber greys off or the Colorbond starts to chalk. A recoat brings them back and protects the timber underneath. After 16 years across Perth, Jack treats the outside structures with the same prep as the house itself.
Visual Effect paints and coats pergolas, patios, decking, fences and gates across Perth, in timber or Colorbond, plus newly rendered walls. Every surface is pressure-washed and prepped first, because a coating over grey, dirty or chalky timber will not hold. Timber is sanded and primed, metal is treated for rust, and render is sealed before paint.
Decking is its own decision. Depending on the timber and the look you want, we will oil, stain or paint it, and explain the upkeep each option needs. Fences and pergolas are coated to tie in with the home rather than stand out.
Pressure washing here is part of the prep, not a standalone service. If a structure is rotten or needs rebuilding, that is carpentry we will flag rather than paint over. This work pairs naturally with a full exterior repaint or whole-house painting; for garage and driveway concrete see epoxy and concrete floor coatings. Every quote is fixed-price and written.
To keep the quote honest and the project boundaries clear, the items on the right are explicitly outside this scope.
Our process
On-site visit, walk the job, free colour consultation if you want it, written quote within 48 hours.
We confirm a start date and lock the timeline. No drift.
Surface prep is the part most painters skip. Then masking, two coats of premium Dulux, and daily clean-up. We work around you and other trades.
Final inspection together. Touch-ups before you sign off.
Pricing
Every pergola, patio, decking & fence painting perth job is quoted per scope: fixed price, written, no surprise extras. Itemised so you know what you're paying for.
A full interior repaint of a 4-bedroom Perth home typically lands at $8,000 to $18,000, depending on surface condition, ceiling work, and finish level. Exterior repaints vary more with access and substrate. We give you a fixed-price written quote after a 30-minute on-site visit, with no guesswork and no hidden extras.
No. Quotes and on-site colour consultations are free. Jack comes out, walks the job with you, talks through colours if you want, and follows up with a fixed-price written quote, usually within 48 hours.
A cheaper quote almost always means less preparation, lower-grade paint, or a partial scope that grows once the job starts. A "cheap" repaint that skips prep can fail in a couple of years and cost you a full repaint to fix. We quote the whole job up front, including full surface prep and two coats of premium Dulux, so the price you're told is the price you pay, and the finish lasts.
Yes. Our minimum job size is $1,500. Single-wall touch-ups and one-off small jobs aren't a great fit for the way we work, but we're happy to point you to someone better suited to the scope.
Jack is a very professional and nice person. He works quietly and efficiently, to a very high standard. He is very knowledgeable about paint and painting, and knows his business very well. He is punctual, true to his word, cleans up after himself, and will work around you and other trades on site with a very courteous nature. We would have Jack back anytime for painting and highly recommend him, which we have already done.

FAQ
A full interior repaint of a 3 to 4 bedroom Perth home usually runs 10 to 12 days; a basic repaint is quicker, and exterior work depends on access and surface condition. We confirm a start date and lock the timeline at quote stage, and we don't drift from it without telling you well ahead of time.
Premium Dulux finishes as standard: Wash & Wear for interior walls and Weathershield for exteriors, with the right primers and undercoats for each surface. Every product is itemised on your quote, so there's no guessing about what's going on your walls. If you've got a brand or product preference, tell Jack and he'll work to it.
We're based in Westminster and cover the greater Perth metro: the inner northern suburbs (Stirling, Balcatta, Yokine, Karrinyup), the western beaches (Scarborough, Trigg, Hillarys), the northern corridor (Joondalup, Duncraig, Greenwood) and across to the river suburbs (Subiaco, Mount Hawthorn, Nedlands). If you're a little further out, just ask and Jack will tell you honestly whether it's worth the trip.
Yes. Visual Effect is fully insured. Certificates of currency are available on request, and the cover details sit on every written quote. That matters most to the insurance builders and strata managers we work with, but every homeowner gets the same protection.
Every job comes with a written workmanship warranty. We stand behind the prep and the finish, and if something we did lifts, flakes or fails inside the warranty window, we come back and put it right. Sixteen years of repeat customers and referrals is the longer guarantee.
