House painting services - FAQs
How much does house painting cost in Auckland?
Indicatively: a 3-bedroom interior repaint runs $6,000–$12,000, weatherboard villa exteriors $12,000–$25,000, roof repaints $3,500–$12,000, and Gib repairs from $250 (all GST included, varying with size, condition and prep). Every job gets a free site visit and a fixed-price quote — or get a number now with the free instant estimator.
Which service do I actually need?
Start with the problem: tired rooms → interior; peeling or faded cladding → exterior; a rusty or chalky roof → roof painting; cracks and holes → Gib & plastering; selling soon → pre-sale refresh. Not sure? We'll assess honestly at a free consult — including what doesn't need doing yet.
Can I live in my home while you paint?
Yes — most residential jobs are completed in occupied homes. We work room by room, cover furniture, protect floors and clean up daily. Exteriors and roofs barely affect your day at all.
Do you do the plastering as well as the painting?
Yes — our team includes experienced Gib fixers and plasterers, so prep and paint come from one crew with one timeline and one standard. It's a genuine difference: the surface is built for the finish going on it.
How long do jobs take?
Typical timelines: bedrooms 2–3 days, full interiors 5–7 days, exteriors 7 days to 3 weeks (weather depending), roofs 2–4 days, and pre-sale refreshes as fast as 48–72 hours. You get a clear timeline before we start, and we stick to it.
Where in Auckland do you work?
Across the whole Auckland region — from the central villa suburbs like Pt Chevalier and Mt Albert to the wider metro area, for homeowners, landlords, body corps and businesses.
WHAT CLIENTS SAY
Loved by Auckland homeowners.

A1 service. Easy to work with and went above and beyond to deliver. Would highly recommend Max and the team.

Guaranteed Peace Of Mind · Auckland Homes
The Ironclad Renovation Guarantee
Most Auckland renovation horror stories stem from three things: budget blowouts, endless delays, and sloppy finishes. We eliminate all three with four legally binding commitments.
01
Zero Budget Blowouts
Locked Fixed-Price Guarantee
Once you sign off your architectural plans, cabinetry specs, and material selections, your price is locked in stone. If timber, freight, or sub-trades inflate mid-build, Key Interiors absorbs 100% of the cost difference. Never you.
No hidden fees, no surprise mid-project variations
02
Guaranteed Handover
On-Time Handover Guarantee
We establish a firm construction schedule before demolition starts. Every project has a dedicated on-site project manager and live digital schedule tracking. We finish on time, or we pay you $250 per week of delay until handover.
Milestone schedule agreed before site possession
03
Master Craftsmanship
62-Point Master-Finish Audit
With our heritage in bespoke interior surfaces, Venetian plaster, and fine joinery, our finishing tolerances far exceed the NZ Building Code. Handover only occurs once every millimeter passes our rigorous 62-point defect audit.
Final payment withheld until snag list is zero
04
10-Year Protection
Master Builders & CCC Warranty
All structural works, heritage alterations, and wet-area renovations are backed by the Registered Master Builders 10-Year Guarantee, certified waterproofing documentation, and Auckland Council Code Compliance Certificates (CCC).
Transferable guarantee adds resale equity to your home
