Frequently Asked Questions: 🏡 Pre-Sale Painting Refresh in Auckland

  • Yes — fresh paint is one of the highest ROI improvements when selling your home.
    In Auckland, a pre-sale repaint can help:

    • Attract more buyers at open homes

    • Increase perceived value

    • Lead to faster sales and higher offers

    It’s one of the cheapest ways to make your property stand out without major renovation.

  • Costs depend on how much needs to be painted, the condition of the surfaces, and the size of your home.

    Typical ballpark ranges:

    • Partial interior refresh (main areas only): $3,500–$7,000

    • Full interior repaint: $6,000–$12,000

    We can even prioritise high-impact areas like:

    • Entryways

    • Lounges

    • Kitchens

    • Master bedrooms

    We’ll work with your stager or agent to meet photo and open home deadlines.

    • Living areas & hallway walls

    • Entry/foyer zone

    • Kitchen & bathroom walls

    • Ceilings if yellowed or stained

    • Doors & trims for a clean finish

  • No — in many cases, targeted painting is more cost-effective than a full repaint.
    We’ll assess your home and advise whether a full job is needed or if selective touch-ups and a few rooms will do the job.

    Sometimes just freshening the lounge, hallway, and trim makes a huge impact.

  • Only if it’s visibly tired, flaking, or discoloured.
    Exterior paint impacts street appeal, so we recommend it if:

    • The home is weatherboard or plaster and faded

    • Trim or windows are peeling

    • You want to wow buyers before they walk in

    We also offer quick exterior touch-ups instead of full repaints if needed.

  • Absolutely. We regularly work with agents and property stylists to:

    • Match your painting schedule to photography

    • Align colour choices with staging

    • Meet auction/open home timelines

    We’re a one-stop team — and our job isn’t done until your home shows beautifully.

  • No problem — we handle key collection, access coordination, and job completion without you needing to be on-site.
    We send:

    • Daily progress updates

    • Completion photos

    • A tidy, ready-for-market finish

    Perfect for vendors overseas, landlords, or trust sales.

  • In many cases, yes — repainting costs less, takes less time, and still gives the “wow factor.”
    Buyers care most about:

    • Clean walls

    • Light, bright spaces

    • Move-in readiness

    Paint gives you all three — for a fraction of what you’d spend on a kitchen or bathroom reno.
