Your fence is often the first thing visitors and passers-by notice about your property. A freshly painted fence improves street appeal immediately, adds to your property’s presentation before a sale or rental, and protects the fence material from UV damage, moisture, and weathering.
For timber fences in particular, regular painting or staining is an important maintenance step that extends the fence’s life significantly — unpainted timber is vulnerable to rot, cracking, and insect damage.
Painting Brothers follows a thorough preparation and application process for all fence painting jobs:
- Surface cleaning — high-pressure washing or scrubbing to remove dirt, moss, and mildew
- Sanding and preparation — smoothing rough surfaces and removing loose or flaking paint
- Priming where required — bare timber, Colorbond, and previously unpainted surfaces
- Application — two coats of premium exterior fence paint or stain
- Clean-up — all drop sheets, masking, and materials removed from site
We always recommend a premium exterior-grade paint or stain for fence painting — these products are specifically formulated to withstand UV, rain, and temperature fluctuation, and will last significantly longer than standard interior paint applied outdoors.
We provide fence painting across Greater Sydney including the Eastern Suburbs , Inner West , North Shore, Northern Beaches , Hills District, and Western Sydney .

FAQ
How much does fence painting cost in Sydney?
Cost depends on fence type, length, height, condition, and the number of sides being painted. A standard timber paling fence on both sides is typically quoted per metre. We provide free fixed quotes so you know the cost upfront.
How long does fence paint last in Sydney?
With proper preparation and premium exterior paint, a timber fence should hold for 5–8 years in most Sydney conditions. Coastal areas (within 1–2km of the ocean) may need repainting more frequently due to salt air.
Can you paint a Colorbond fence?
Yes — Colorbond can be painted successfully with the right metal primer and topcoat. We colour-match to your existing Colorbond or change the colour entirely if you prefer something different.
Do you replace rotten timber before painting?
Yes — we identify and replace rotten palings or rails before we paint. Painting over rotten timber doesn’t fix the problem; it just hides it temporarily. We quote for any timber replacement at the same time as the painting.
Can fence painting be combined with a house exterior repaint?
Yes — and that’s often the most efficient approach. If you’re already getting the exterior of your house painted, including the fence in the same job saves mobilisation costs and ensures everything is colour-coordinated.
