Before and after
A dark, dated stairwell: timber panelling, raw brick and balustrades brought into a fresh white finish, keeping the original treads as a feature. Drag to compare.

About Jye, your painter
Hi, I'm Jye
Scuffed walls and a faded exterior drag a whole property down. A good paint job is one of the fastest, most practical ways to lift a property, and it is one of the few home improvements where proper preparation determines the result, not the brand on the tin.
Whether you are freshening up one room, getting the exterior sorted before listing, or just want the place looking the way it did a few years back, we deliver a finish that holds up, not one that peels off by the following summer.
I run Hughesys Painting from Edgeworth. We quote in writing and prepare surfaces properly. I carry out the work from the site visit through to the final coat. If something needs sorting after the job is done, you ring the same number that answered when you booked.
I hold a current NSW painter-decorator licence (Lic. 476719C). You can verify the licence at NSW Fair Trading before booking.
Based in Edgeworth and servicing Newcastle NSW and the wider Lake Macquarie area, we know what local homes need: proper preparation for weatherboard that has been baking in the coastal sun, the right primer for rendered brick, and salt-air-rated products for homes close to the water. This is the Newcastle region. The conditions are specific. The prep has to match.

House painting that starts with prep
Interior and exterior house painting need different prep. Inside, I look at cracks, previous paint, trims, ceilings, and how the room is used. Outside, I check sun exposure, salt air, peeling paint, render, weatherboard movement, and whether the surface needs washing or priming first.
Maintenance before repainting
Some Newcastle painting jobs are not just colour changes. Fences, decks, gutters, cabinets, and roofs often need cleaning, repairs, sanding, sealing, or coating advice before repainting. That is why I check the surface before giving a written quote.
A written quote you can compare
If you are comparing house painters in Newcastle, ask what is included before you compare prices. A proper quote should make the prep, coats, products, access, timing, and cleanup clear enough that you know what you are saying yes to.

Questions about painting in Newcastle
How much does painting cost in Newcastle?
There is no single number because jobs vary a lot. A single-room interior repaint is one price; a double-storey weatherboard exterior with prep work is another entirely. Interior prices shift with room size, ceiling height, and how many coats the walls actually need. Exterior prices shift with house size, storeys, and the state of the existing paint. We come out, have a proper look at everything, and give you a written price before any work starts, so you know exactly what you are in for.
Do you charge for a quote?
No. We visit the property, check every surface, and get a written number back to you. The visit and the written quote are free. You decide if you want to book.
How far in advance do I need to book?
It varies depending on the time of year and what jobs are already on. Spring and pre-Christmas are busy periods. Best approach: call Jye on 0466 880 561 and we can tell you the current window straight away.
What paint brands do you use?
Dulux, Taubmans, and Haymes are the main ones. For jobs near the coast we specify products rated for marine exposure, not standard exterior grades. If you have a brand preference or a specific colour you want matched, raise it at the quote stage. We will not swap to a cheaper product without telling you.
Do you move furniture for interior jobs?
Light furniture, yes. We move and cover it as part of the job. Heavier items like pianos, big bookcases, or built-in wardrobes need to be cleared before we arrive. We flag exactly what needs to move at the quote walkthrough so there are no surprises on the day.
Are you licensed?
Yes. I hold NSW painter-decorator licence 476719C, which you can look up on the NSW Fair Trading licence register before booking.
Do you do commercial painting in Newcastle?
Yes. Offices, retail shops, cafes, warehouses, small industrial spaces across Newcastle and Lake Macquarie. Commercial jobs are scheduled to keep disruption to a minimum: early starts, after-hours, or staging the work around your trading hours are all on the table when quoting.
What residential painting services do you offer?
Interior walls and ceilings, exterior weatherboard and render, roofs, decks, fences, kitchen cabinet repainting, and wallpaper removal. Every residential job gets the same prep: sand, fill, prime, then paint. Not sure if your specific project is covered? Ring Jye and he will tell you straight.
