1. Barker-Whittle House Painters Perth
Address: 14 Brooksby St, Melville
Phone: +61 8 9317 1573
Business hours: Monday-Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Barker-Whittle House Painters have been painting houses, schools, government facilities, and shopping centers for over 45 years. They mix brush, roller, and spray techniques—and customers can’t help but admire how skillfully they use each one.
We got to see their flawless work firsthand in the neighborhoods of Applecross, Claremont, and Woodlands. One resident even told us that their home’s long-lasting, timeless look is thanks to Barker-Whittle’s use of premium products like Porters Paints and weather-resistant Dulux.
Reviews also highlight that the painters are friendly, punctual, and helpful. However, one customer did mention issues with customer service, noting unresponsiveness to a quote request and a missed callback.
On the plus side, Barker-Whittle’s professional color consultant is there to create personalized color schemes. And with a five- to seven-year warranty on all paint projects, it’s easy to see why they were named Master Painter of the Year back in 2011.
Very impressed at the high quality result
“Barker Whittler did a great job with repainting the inside of our house. Ryan and Luke were very responsive and professional throughout the process and Nick did a great job on the actual painting. Very impressed at the high quality result they provided and extent they went to make it look good, even more so as it’s an older house.”

Workmanship was of the highest standard
“We highly recommend Barker and Whittle, We recently had the exterior of our two story house repainted and were very impressed with the professionalism of this company. The workmanship was of the highest standard. This included preparation, repairs and final paint application using high quality products. The customer interaction could not be faulted. Alex’s team members were courteous, friendly, punctual and helpful with suggestions to improve the final appearance. Nothing was too much trouble. We were delighted with the outcome!”

2. Premier Painting Group
Address: 5 Pinot St, Maddington
Phone: +61 428 252 525
Business hours: Monday-Sunday, 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM
The painters at Premier Painting Group thoroughly prep every surface before picking up a brush or roller. From cleaning and sealing to priming and minor repairs, they make sure everything’s ready before applying their expertly selected, high-quality paints.
One of the things clients like most about them is their flexibility—finishing projects on schedule and meeting tight deadlines. This has helped minimize disruption, allowing home and business owners to get back to their routine as quickly as possible.
Their quotes are considered affordable by the customers, too. However, some aren’t pleased with having to follow up repeatedly due to lack of response and occasional no-shows for scheduled quote appointments.
Overall, many return because of the respectful team. Plus, their eco-friendly approach ensures that the paints used in your space are made with low VOCs (volatile organic compounds), and any leftover paint is safely disposed of through certified waste management services.
Friendly, affordable, and able to work to our tight deadlines
“Highly recommend Hibab and his team, very grateful for the amazing job they did repainting our whole home after a different company ruined our walls. Premier painting not only were friendly, but affordable and able to work to our tight deadlines. Will always use and recommend them going forward.”
- Hydee Emms, Google Review
Outstanding interior painting
“My husband and I are very grateful to Habib and his team from Premier Painting Group for not only the outstanding interior painting to our home but mostly for treating the project as if it were their own. They were nice, friendly and respectful. We thank the team most sincerely for the painstaking task of sanding back, filling and repairing all work prior to repainting. From the ceiling, to the walls, to the doors, to the skirting boards, there were lots of prep work to do. Habib even did a freebie for us on our kitchen counter and door’s. Our home looks brand new and we are SO SO happy.”

Clients love the variety of standard and complementary colors to choose from. Add to this their spray painting that gives a streak-free finish, along with texture painting options—including wood, acrylic, and abstract patterns—that bring a unique touch to any indoor space.
As a certified Dulux Painting Contractor, Kristian’s Painting follows high industry standards and uses durable products like waterproof paint. Also, clients who’ve received fair quotes from them often vouch for their cost-effective services.
The only drawback is that while they do clean up after themselves, a few clients felt they could have done better. One mentioned the team should’ve covered carpets beforehand and used a more powerful vacuum, as old paint residue was left behind.
Wonderful team and beautiful, quality paints
“I had 2 rooms completely transformed today by Kristian’s Painting and his wonderful team, professional from the initial contact, quote and job. I’m over the moon, beautiful quality paints, wonderful advice, all done in a quality timely manner. I can’t wait to ‘transform’ the rest of my home.”

They arrived on time & did a excellent job with attention to detail etc, would definitely recommend their services to friends & family.”

Let’s not forget the team’s great attention to detail and professionalism. Accredited by Master Painters & Decorators Australia and Porter’s Original Paints, Contrast consistently delivers quality paints and finishes.

5. Perth Professional Painters
Address: 140 St Georges Terrace
Phone: +61 498 003 003
Business hours: Monday-Saturday, 7:00 AM to 5:30 PM
In over 20 years, Perth Professional Painters have only used premium-grade paints in the office, retail & hospitality, and industrial & warehouse painting projects they’ve undertaken. Even better, their team is made up of fully credentialed, well-trained professionals.
Their interior work covers feature walls, ceilings, and doors—with kitchens and bathrooms included, too. Unfortunately, one client did note paint splashes left on their splashback and benchtops, pointing to a lack of care during the job.
For the most part, many customers attribute their smooth, stress-free painting experience to the friendly and communicative team. One who had her 100-year-old house painted, shared how supported she felt and was happy with the results.
Another great thing about Perth Professional is their use of epoxy paint, which acts like a protective layer for floors. It helps their work on your driveways, pathways, and garages last longer and prevent cracks from heavy impacts.
Professional, courteous, and great to deal with
“We hired Perth Professional Painters to repaint the ground floor of our office building over the Christmas holidays. They worked quickly and efficiently to complete the job on time. Carlo and his team were professional, courteous and great to deal with. They did a fantastic job and I would have no hesitation recommending their services.”
- Beverley Harrison, Google Review
