Websites for Adelaide painting businesses, from sole traders doing interiors to crews repainting unit groups, built by a web design team on Hutt St in the city. Your CBS licence details on every page, before-and-after pairs that name the suburb and the surface, and a plain account of how you handle bluestone, sandstone and salt-affected walls.
Adelaide's older suburbs have many Victorian and Edwardian stone and brick houses, anyone can search the state's licence register in a minute, and in most unit groups the external walls are common property, looked after by the strata corporation rather than each owner. A painter's site here earns the call by showing the licence, the kinds of walls you're comfortable working on, and whether you take homes, strata jobs or both.
In South Australia, painting for other people counts as building work, so it needs a building work contractor's licence from Consumer and Business Services, and that licence can be limited to painting. We put the number and the name it's held under, or your registered business name, in the footer of every page and beside the quote button, with a link to the CBS register so a careful owner can check it in a few taps.
Owners of stone and brick villas often know about salt damp, and some will have read council advice against painting old masonry. A short section in your own words on what you do with salt-affected or never-painted masonry, which paint systems you use on old walls, and when you'd tell an owner to sort out drainage or the damp course first shows you understand the house before you price it.
Taking paint off a bluestone or sandstone front, or picking out verandah posts, fretwork and iron lace in period colours, is different work from a lounge-room repaint. If you do it, give it a section or page of its own with photos, so owners of older houses find it without scrolling past new-build interiors.
Plenty of jobs stall at choosing colours. If you bring sample cards, paint test patches on the wall, use a paint brand's colour service, or charge a set fee for an hour on site, say so in one short section, along with whether that fee comes off the job. An undecided owner then has a small first step to book instead of a full quote.
A family choosing a bedroom colour and a strata manager arranging an exterior repaint for a dozen units look for different things. Separate pages let each find their answers quickly; for the second group that means insurances, how you schedule around tenants and parking, staged work and site sign-in.
A caption such as "Sandstone villa, paint removed and trims repainted, Norwood" or "Two-storey render, full exterior colour change, Seaford" lets an owner on a phone spot a house like theirs. We set before and after shots side by side on a desktop and stack them on a small screen, compressed so the gallery loads quickly on mobile data.
Inside, outside or both; house, townhouse or unit group; roughly when it was built; what the walls are (face brick, bluestone, sandstone, render, weatherboard or fibre cement); the suburb; and photos. A "not sure" option on the age and wall questions keeps it quick, and you turn up to the measure-up already knowing whether it's a villa or a 1990s render job.
Licensing, briefly. South Australia's Building Work Contractors Regulations 2026 list painting a building or part of a building as building work, so a business contracting to paint for others needs a building work contractor's licence from Consumer and Business Services (CBS), and SA.GOV.AU notes that a licence can be limited to specific work. Its guidance says all signage and advertising for the public must carry your name as it appears on the licence, or your registered business name, and the licence number, with every partner's number for a partnership; we treat your website as advertising. Our page for Adelaide builders covers supervision and the register in more detail. A case CBS publicised in 2018 shows why a painter's site should list only work the licence covers: a contractor hired at a Fairview Park house for painting, wall repairs, a kitchen renovation, flooring, paving and electrical work was penalised in the Elizabeth Magistrates Court, having obtained a licence endorsed for painting only after the client complained.
Old walls and salt damp. The City of Norwood Payneham & St Peters says rising damp is a common problem in the Victorian and Edwardian houses in its area. Its heritage fact sheet lists painted external walls among the causes, asks owners whether their masonry has been painted with acrylic paint, and advises that old masonry walls not be painted, because paint can trap moisture and force it inside. In the city and North Adelaide, the City of Adelaide's Heritage Incentives Scheme reimburses owners of heritage places and unlisted historic character places for part of their conservation costs, and eight of the 17 projects in its published case studies included paint removal, several of them on bluestone or sandstone fronts, often alongside repointing or salt damp treatment. The scheme's 2026/27 budget is fully allocated, and the council says to check back in June 2027 for the next round. If careful paint removal or breathable coatings on old masonry is work you do well, it deserves a photo-led section of its own.
State Heritage Areas. Heritage SA treats painting as development in a State Heritage Area, needing approval through the council, with an exemption for repainting existing painted exterior surfaces in Colonel Light Gardens and in areas activated under the Planning, Development and Infrastructure Act. Colonel Light Gardens and Port Adelaide are both State Heritage Areas. The Heritage Standards for Colonel Light Gardens, the 1920s garden suburb in the City of Mitcham, say face brick and stone walls on houses are to be kept and not painted or rendered, that painting unpainted external surfaces isn't supported, and that removing paint from external face brick and stone counts as development, as do rising damp repairs. The City of Mitcham and Heritage SA confirm what needs approval. Your site shouldn't try to give that advice, but one line saying you check before stripping or painting masonry in those streets tells an owner you know the rules exist.
Unit groups. South Australia's Law Handbook notes that in most strata corporations the roof, guttering, external walls and foundations are common property, and that maintaining common property is the corporation's job. An exterior repaint of a group of units is therefore the corporation's decision, not one owner's, and whoever compares the quotes wants your insurances, a written scope they can circulate to owners, and how you'll let residents know what's happening. That's the case for giving strata and commercial work a page of its own.
Working with us. We're at Ste 3/110 Hutt St, Adelaide, and SA Painting Professionals, the painting company in our portfolio, is an Adelaide business. Most projects run by phone and email, which suits painters who are on the tools all day: send photos and notes once you're off the ladder, and a draft link comes back for you to check on your phone. If you'd rather sit down before starting, that can be arranged.
Both are Adelaide businesses. SA Painting Professionals is our painting client, and its site keeps each kind of painting job apart. Bright Building & Renovations is a licensed renovation builder whose site carries planning guides, the same approach a painter can take to explain old walls or heritage repaints.
Painting for homes and businesses across Adelaide and the rest of South Australia: interiors, exteriors, roofs, commercial, industrial and specialty work. Twelve service pages give each line its own space, region pages and a suburb and postcode search answer whether they come out to you, and the online quote form and tap-to-call are there throughout.

A licensed Adelaide builder doing renovations, extensions and new homes. Its 30-page site has five planning guides alongside the service and area pages, a project gallery and a seven-step quote form. A painter who strips masonry or repaints period homes can use the same idea on a smaller scale: one page, in your own words, linked from the quote form.

Our suggestion for most Adelaide painters
$899
A home page for owners, a page on older houses (masonry, paint removal, salt damp, heritage streets) or on strata and commercial work, and a gallery of captioned before-and-after pairs, each with its own quote button.
$1,499
For a company running crews: separate pages for interiors, exteriors, roofs, heritage and masonry work, strata, commercial and builder work, plus an about page with your licence, supervisor and insurances.
SA.GOV.AU's guidance for building work contractors says public advertising has to include the licence number and either the name on the licence or a registered business name, and a partnership lists every partner's number. A website is advertising, so we put those details in the footer of every page and link them to the CBS licence register. Questions about your own licence conditions are best taken to CBS.
If you come across it on jobs, yes, briefly and in your own words. Owners of older stone and brick houses may have read council advice, such as the Norwood Payneham & St Peters heritage fact sheet, that painting old masonry can trap moisture. A few lines on how you assess those walls, what you will paint and what you won't, answer the question before they ask it. We link to the council's advice rather than explain the building science on your behalf.
You can say the Heritage Incentives Scheme exists and link to the council's page, but don't suggest an owner will get money: each application is assessed against the council's guidelines and the 2026/27 budget is already fully allocated. If you've worked on a funded project, a before-and-after pair shown with the owner's permission says more than any claim. The council also asks owners for proof of payment to the contractor before it reimburses them, so clear invoices help your customers.
Keep it factual. The suburb's Heritage Standards list repainting already-painted surfaces as not development, but painting unpainted face brick or stone isn't supported, and removing paint from those surfaces counts as development. We'd add one line saying you check with the City of Mitcham or Heritage SA before any masonry work there, and leave the planning advice to them.
Probably not to begin with. Their site covers a wide range of painting across the whole state, hence 12 service pages, region pages and a postcode search. A painter working mostly in a few parts of Adelaide is usually well served by a home page, one page for older houses or strata work, and a gallery: the 3-page site at $899. New pages can be added later on the same design, and we quote them first.
No. Prices are the same wherever you are: $399 for one page, $899 for up to three and $1,499 for up to eight, with no GST added because we're not registered for it. Hosting after launch is $30 a month with no contract. The difference in Adelaide is that you can meet us before starting if you'd like to.
Send us your CBS licence number, a handful of before-and-after pairs and the suburbs you work in, and tell us whether older houses or strata jobs are a big part of your week. We'll quote, build the draft, and you pay once you approve it.
