“Nick made the quote easy to understand, the team handled the prep properly, and the finish suited the age and style of the house.”Based on recurring Brushworks client feedback
Painting Across the Inner West Means Knowing Older Sydney Homes Properly
The Inner West is full of homes that look straightforward from the street but are not straightforward once the job starts. Old terraces hide patchwork repairs. Decorative cornices show every shortcut. Existing enamel on trims and joinery behaves differently from newer surfaces. Apartment stock brings access and scheduling constraints. Pre-sale work needs sharper presentation and tighter timing. Small commercial spaces and local business premises often need the same care, but with tighter access windows and less room for disruption.
Brushworks is built for that mix. Nick Kyriacou quotes the work himself, the prep is priced in writing, and the painting is completed by Brushworks painters, not subcontractors. Whether the job is one room, a full terrace repaint, an apartment refresh between tenants, a presentation-led pre-sale project, or a small commercial painting service, the approach stays clear, practical, and trusted.

Inner West Painting Problems We Solve
The usual issues are not whether the home needs paint. They are whether the prep will be done properly, whether the price is clear, and whether the result will suit the age of the property.
Problem: Older Surfaces Show Every Shortcut
Terraces and older homes in the Inner West often carry multiple generations of repairs, patches, old enamel, and cracked surfaces that stand out badly under new paint.
Solution: Prep-First Painting
We fill, sand, strip back where needed, prime correctly, and treat preparation as the core of the job, not the part to rush through. That is how a quality painted finish holds up well over time.
Problem: Quotes Vary With No Clear Reason
Homeowners often receive painting prices that are far apart without any explanation of prep level, product choice, or what is actually included.
Solution: Fixed Written Scope
Nick quotes the work himself, explains what the surfaces need, and provides a written fixed-price scope before the job starts, so clients can compare the right service instead of guessing.
Problem: Apartments Need Speed Without Looking Rushed
Investor and tenancy-changeover jobs often need a quick turnaround, but the finish still has to look clean enough for inspection or lease photos.
Solution: Efficient Apartment Repaints
We handle apartments and units with a practical, low-disruption process that keeps the work moving while still protecting the final standard.
Problem: Pre-Sale Presentation Feels Hard to Prioritise
Sellers often know the home needs paint, but not which rooms or surfaces will have the biggest presentation impact before listing.
Solution: Presentation-Led Scope
We help narrow the repaint down to the rooms and surfaces that lift the campaign most, without turning the prep into a full renovation. It is one reason local agents and sellers recommend a focused painting scope before going to market.
Our Inner West Painting Process
Simple, direct, and built to remove uncertainty before the first drop sheet goes down, whether the job is residential, strata, or small commercial.

Free Quote
Nick inspects the property in person, or by video where suitable, and provides a written fixed-price quote so you can decide with the right information today.
2
Scope and Colours
We confirm colours, finishes, access, and which prep steps are actually required before the job is booked in, with attention to heritage details, tenancy timing, and how the painted result needs to present.
3
Preparation
Filling, sanding, repairs, mould treatment, stain blocking, and priming are completed before any topcoat begins, because great painting work starts with what happens before the walls are painted.

Painting
Two-coat application using Dulux or other premium systems chosen to suit the property, the condition of the surfaces, and the level of use the area will take.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from Inner West homeowners comparing painters, timelines, pricing, and what is actually included in the work.
Do you work on older terraces and period homes in the Inner West?
Yes. Older terraces, semis, and period homes are a major part of the work. We handle the extra prep, older joinery, patch repairs, and paint-system choices these homes usually need.
How much does painting cost in the Inner West?
Pricing depends on room count, access, surface condition, and how much preparation the property needs. Single rooms start from $450, smaller apartment or pre-sale packages from $1,200, and larger house or exterior repainting is quoted after inspection with a fixed written scope.
Can you paint apartments and units between tenants?
Yes. Apartment and investor changeover jobs are common across the Inner West. We work to practical timelines and keep the scope focused so the property is ready for photos, inspections, or the next tenancy as soon as possible.
Do you help with pre-sale painting before we list?
Yes. Pre-sale painting is one of the most practical ways to lift presentation before a campaign. We help identify the rooms and surfaces that make the strongest difference without overspending on unnecessary work.
What paint systems do you use?
We use Dulux premium products and other matched systems depending on the surface, existing coating condition, moisture risk, and the level of wear each room or facade will get.
Do you only handle residential work, or can you paint commercial spaces too?
Most of the work in the Inner West is residential, but we also take on selected commercial painting service work for studios, offices, shopfronts, and mixed-use properties where a local team, clear scheduling, and a quality finish matter.
Why do local clients recommend Brushworks?
The feedback is usually consistent. Clients mention clear communication, excellent preparation, attention to detail, and a team that takes pride in doing the job properly. They also like that Nick quotes the work himself, which makes the service feel more direct and trusted from day one.
Can you help us choose the best scope before we book?
Yes. We help owners work out the best rooms, surfaces, and timing for the project, whether the goal is to freshen a home, prepare a property for sale, improve a rental, or repaint a small business space without unnecessary extra work.
Do you offer a warranty on your painting work?
Yes. Brushworks provides a written 5-year workmanship warranty on completed jobs, subject to product and workmanship conditions, alongside a fixed written quote before the work begins.
