ToggleThe cost can range quite a bit based on the specifics, but you’re generally looking at $200-600 to paint a standard interior door including the trim and frame. Exterior doors tend to hit the higher end of that spectrum due to preparation and sealing required.Â
Now if you’ve got intricate carved doors or are looking at giving the house a full facelift with 20 doors, costs add up quick.
Interior doors have quite a wide painting cost range.Â
Now exterior doors require a bit more elbow grease. Starting with the front door and frame—you’re looking around $300-600 depending on materials and styling. I always tell clients not to skimp here since it creates that all-important first impression. Splurge on quality paints and finishes that withstand the elements too. $500 now can save you from replacing the whole door sooner.
The cost of painting a garage door in Australia can vary based on factors such as the size and material of the door, the condition of the surface, the type of paint used, and the labor involved. On average, you can expect to pay between $300 to $800 for professional painting services for a standard single-car garage door. Larger or more complex garage doors may cost more to paint.
Generally, you can expect to pay between $30 to $100 for painting one side of a standard interior door.
However, this is just a rough estimate, and the actual cost may vary based on the specific requirements of the project and the rates charged by painting contractors in your area. Additionally, if the door requires any repairs or preparation work before painting, this may affect the overall cost. It’s always a good idea to obtain quotes from multiple painters to get a more accurate estimate for your specific needs.

Painting an Old Door:
Buying a New Door:
Overall, painting a door is a cost-effective option if the existing door is in good condition and the desired color is achievable through painting. However, if the door is extensively damaged or if you want a specific color that is not easily achieved through painting, buying a new door may be a better choice.
