West Pennant Hills is a suburb of large family homes on big, leafy blocks. Painting them well means safe access, flexible render systems and preparation that respects the shade.
Award Painting has painted across the Hills and Upper North Shore since 2007. Licence 222321C, $20M public liability insurance and a fixed written quote after a walkthrough come with every West Pennant Hills job.
Most West Pennant Hills exteriors involve height: gables, high eaves, upper-level windows and often a sloping garden below. We plan access before we plan paint, using scaffold, planks or a platform where ladders would be unsafe or would compromise the finish, and we show access as a separate line in the quote so you can see exactly what it adds.
Rendered facades are the common substrate. Cracks are raked and filled with a flexible compound, bare patches sealed, and the walls coated in a premium or elastomeric acrylic that bridges hairline movement. Cement-sheet upper storeys, timber fascias and metal gutters each get their own primer.
The canopy that makes West Pennant Hills so pleasant also keeps walls damp. South and east elevations and anything close to the reserves grow moss and mould, stay wet for weeks after rain and shed paint early if coated too soon. We wash, treat, allow proper drying time and schedule those faces for the driest days of the program. Gutters and downpipes are checked for leaks that would undo the work.
West Pennant Hills interiors are typically large: open living and kitchen spaces, rumpus rooms, four or five bedrooms and double-height voids. Big walls show every roller mark under strong light, so we use consistent sheen levels, the right roller nap and careful cutting in. Voids and stairwells are reached from platforms rather than stretched ladders. The house stays liveable throughout, with rooms sheeted, furniture wrapped and each day finishing walkable.
We also work in Pennant Hills, Cherrybrook, Castle Hill and Beecroft.
The craft
Sharp tape lines, clean brushes, the right product for the right surface. Small habits, repeated on every job, are what a premium finish is made of.

Every quote starts with a free walkthrough. We look at the condition of the existing paint, access, the number of colours and how much trim there is, then put a fixed price in writing with preparation, coats, repairs and access itemised. Preparation overruns are carried by us, not added to your bill.
Yes. Award Painting Pty Ltd holds NSW Painting and Decorating Contractors Licence 222321C and carries $20M public liability insurance. Both are shown on every quote and can be checked against the NSW Fair Trading licence register.
Full exterior repaints of two-storey homes typically fall between $12,000 and $30,000 depending on render condition, access and the amount of timber and metal trim. Full interiors of 4 and 5 bedroom homes commonly range from $10,000 to $22,000. The walkthrough fixes the number and itemises access separately.
Yes, and it is the efficient way to do it. Decks are cleaned, sanded where needed and oiled or stained after the house is finished so overspray and foot traffic do not mark the new timber finish. See our deck staining page for products and maintenance intervals.
A full interior of a 3 or 4 bedroom home usually takes 5 to 8 working days. A full exterior takes 1 to 3 weeks depending on size, access and how much timber needs preparation. You get a start date and a finish date in writing, and the same crew stays on the job from the first day to the last.
A colour consultation valued at $275 is included free with every quote. We look at the orientation of each wall, the roof and brick colours you are keeping, the street and the light under your trees, then test sample boards on the house rather than choosing from a chip.
