House painting in short
Tactical Height Solutions paints houses across Sydney: interior repaints, exterior repaints and touch-ups, by licensed painters under NSW contractor licence 478674C. Preparation, repairs and priming are included in every quote, Dulux paint systems are used, and every job comes with a written workmanship warranty. On tall, steep or hard-to-reach homes, high walls are painted on rope without a full scaffold.
Updated October 2026 by Naldo Neto, IRATA Level 3 and licensed painter.
A house repaint is only as good as the preparation under it. We wash, scrape, sand, fill and prime before any colour goes on, then apply a full paint system so the finish lasts.
We paint the inside and outside of Sydney homes: walls, ceilings, doors and trims inside; render, brick, weatherboards, eaves, fascias, gutters, fences and decks outside. Most homes are painted from the ground, ladders and mobile scaffold. For three-storey homes, steep blocks and high gable ends we can work on rope, which avoids the cost of a full scaffold.
You get a fixed-price quote after a free inspection, a written contract and a deposit of no more than 10 percent, as NSW law requires for home building work. Floors, furniture and gardens are protected, the site is cleaned up each day, and we walk through the finished job with you.

Questions about house painting
How much does it cost to paint a house in Sydney?
It depends on the size of the home, the surfaces, the preparation needed and the number of colours. We give a fixed price after a free inspection, with preparation included.
How long does a house repaint take?
Most interiors take days rather than weeks. Exteriors depend on the size and height of the home and the weather. Your quote includes an expected program.
Do I need to move out while you paint?
No. We work room by room inside and protect your furniture and floors. Low-odour paints are available if anyone at home is sensitive to smells.
How much deposit do you take?
In NSW a deposit for home building work can be no more than 10 percent of the contract price. Home building work over $20,000 also needs Home Building Compensation Fund cover, and your quote will say if your job needs it.
Can you paint a three-storey house without scaffold?
Often, yes. Our painters are also rope access technicians, so high walls and gables can be painted on rope where suitable anchor points can be used.
