How do I choose a painter in Dulwich Hill?
Compare itemised quotes, check the painter's NSW contractor licence (needed for residential jobs over $5,000), ask for proof of insurance and a written warranty, and never pay more than a 10% deposit.
Do I need council approval to change my house colours in Dulwich Hill?
Parts of the Inner West are heritage conservation areas. Repainting in the existing colours is usually straightforward, but changing colours on street-facing elements may need approval or a check with Inner West Council first. The painter can advise on period-appropriate schemes.
