How Much Does Interior Painting Cost in Auckland?
Determining a fixed rate for painting is always difficult and it’s generally because of all the variables that come into play such as condition, repair work, access, type of paint, number of coats need, etc but the general square metre rate charge is around $40-50 per square metre in Auckland.
An interior painter can help you paint a room, from ceilings to walls. The average total cost for a painting project (interior painting) is on average around $3,500 to $5,000 (standard one storey home).
