Painting & decorating services
Fence Painting for Homes, Strata & Commercial Properties
One trade, done properly. We focus on exterior fence painting and staining, which means the preparation, coating systems and finishing details are exactly right for Sydney fences.
Metal & Colorbond Fence Painting
We repaint pre-painted steel fencing, including Colorbond steel from BlueScope and systems by Dunn & Farrugia Fencing, Outback Fencing, Oxworks, Waratah Fencing and Stratco, with the correct preparation and coatings for metal surfaces.
Fence Staining & Protective Finishes
Natural timber stains that show off the grain, plus protective exterior finishes that guard against UV, moisture and coastal salt air in the Eastern Suburbs.
Strata Fence Repainting
Common property fence repainting for owners corporations and strata managers: shared boundaries, courtyards, car parks and walkways at townhouse complexes and apartment blocks, delivered with proper documentation.
Commercial Fence Painting
Boundary and perimeter fence painting for warehouses, shopfronts, offices, schools, childcare centres and medical centres, scheduled to keep disruption to your business low.
Surface Preparation & Repairs
Pressure washing, scraping, sanding, spot priming and minor repairs before painting, because the preparation is what makes a fence finish last, not just the top coat.

Surface preparation
Careful Preparation Before Every Job
A fence finish only lasts as long as the preparation underneath it. That is why every Fence Painters Sydney job starts with proper prep, matched to the surface. Weathered timber in the Inner West needs different treatment to a salt-exposed Colorbond steel fence in Maroubra.
- Washing down dirt, dust, cobwebs and surface residue
- Scraping loose or flaking paint and sanding rough timber
- Spot priming bare, weathered or rust-prone areas
- Masking walls, paving, windows, plants, gates and hardware
- Checking access to both sides of the fence before we quote
- Selecting paint, stain or primer to suit the surface and exposure
Working on an older fence? Painted surfaces from before the 1970s can contain lead-based paint. We follow NSW EPA guidance and manage older coatings carefully, so the work is safe for your family and ours.
Finishes Built for Sydney Conditions
Sydney fences cop harsh UV, coastal salt air near the beaches, moisture and shade in narrow inner-city blocks, and summer heat across the south-west. We choose coating systems for the conditions your fence actually faces, so the finish keeps looking good instead of fading or peeling early.
Dark Modern Colours
Monument, charcoal and black finishes give timber and Colorbond steel fences a crisp, modern contrast against greenery and rendered walls. It is the most requested look for Sydney backyards.
Natural Timber Stains
Where the grain is part of the look, exterior stains protect the timber while keeping its character. It is a favourite for decks-adjacent fences, privacy screens and courtyard boundaries.
Colour Matching & Advice
We match fences to trims, gates, pergolas and landscaping, and can apply sample patches so you see the exact colour on your own fence before committing to the full job.

Fence Painting Questions, Answered
How much does fence painting cost in Sydney?
Costs depend on the fence length, height, surface material, condition, preparation required, access to both sides, and whether you choose paint or stain. Send photos, measurements, your suburb and preferred finish, and we will return a clear written quote, usually the same day.
Do you paint timber and paling fences?
Yes. Timber fence painting is a core service: paling fences, slat fences, front fences, side and rear boundary fences and privacy screens, painted or stained at homes across Sydney.
Can you repaint Colorbond steel fences?
Yes. We repaint pre-painted steel fencing, including Colorbond steel fences made from BlueScope steel and systems supplied by Dunn & Farrugia Fencing, Outback Fencing, Oxworks, Waratah Fencing and Stratco. Pre-painted metal needs the correct preparation and coating system, and we use both.
Do you paint strata fences and common property?
Yes. We repaint shared boundary fences, courtyards, car parks and common areas for owners corporations and strata managers, and provide the licence, ABN and insurance documentation strata committees need to approve the work.
Is it better to paint or stain a timber fence?
Paint gives stronger colour coverage and a modern look. Charcoal and monument tones are the most popular across Sydney. Stain highlights the natural grain. We advise on both options when we quote, based on your fence's condition and exposure.
Can you paint an old, weathered fence?
Usually, yes. Weathered timber often needs cleaning, sanding, scraping, priming or minor repairs first. We inspect the fence, include the preparation in your quote, and only recommend painting where the fence is sound enough to hold a finish.
Do you paint both sides of the fence?
We can paint one side or both, depending on access, ownership, neighbour agreement and strata approval. Tell us what you need when you enquire and we will price each option clearly.
What Sydney areas do you service?
The Sydney Metropolitan area and Greater Sydney, with core coverage across the Inner West, South Western Sydney, Canterbury-Bankstown and the Eastern Suburbs, including Marrickville, Ashfield, Bankstown, Campsie, Lakemba, Randwick, Coogee, Bondi, Bronte and nearby suburbs.
