Why people in Dubbo choose Murrays Painting
Over 50 years in the trade
Over fifty years in the trade. There is very little John has not already seen go wrong on a house, which is mostly what experience buys you.
John quotes it and supervises it
He prices the job himself and checks the preparation before a topcoat goes on, with Ron running the crew on site. The same two people from the quote to the last coat.
Preparation comes first
Most of the work happens before any colour appears. Sanding, filling, priming and sealing are what decide whether the finish lasts three years or fifteen.
Dulux and Porters materials
Premium paint on every job, with oil-based sealers on woodwork. Cheaper products cost less on the invoice and more on the repaint.
12-month workmanship guarantee
Twelve months on labour and materials. If something is not right in that time, John comes back and sorts it out.
Licensed, insured, reviewed
NSW licence 155166C, public liability and workers compensation, and a five star rating on Google from customers across the Central West.
What we know about painting in Dubbo
Dubbo is the largest regional city in western New South Wales, with a population over 40,000, and sits about two and a half hours north-west of Orange. The Macquarie River runs through the city, and the Taronga Western Plains Zoo precinct on the southern edge draws visitors year-round, with the surrounding residential area featuring well-maintained homes on larger blocks. The housing stock is genuinely varied. Older residential streets closer to the CBD have weatherboard and fibro homes from the 1940s through to the 1960s, while modern estates in areas like Delroy Park and Keswick feature brick veneer and rendered construction. The climate is harsh. Dubbo sits on the western plains where summer temperatures regularly push past 40 degrees, UV levels are punishing, and dust storms are not uncommon. Exterior coatings need to be specified carefully for those conditions. We take on Dubbo projects selectively, typically larger residential or commercial jobs where the scope justifies the travel. Accommodation, travel and meals are quoted as project costs alongside the standard rates.

03
You get a written quote
An itemised price with the preparation spelled out, so you can see exactly what is included rather than guessing at a number on a text message.

Floors and furniture protected, tidied up each day, and a walk through together at the end. Backed by the 12-month guarantee.

John and his team did an amazing job of a very complex project. Their quote was extremely reasonable compared to other quotes received. Their attention to detail throughout the project was impeccable. The work involved a total repaint, both externally and internally, of a very large timber double storey historic residence. The final magnificent result of their many months of labour are a reflection of their understanding and pride for their profession.
John Murray's crew were excellent, very reliable, trustworthy and easy to have around my home. They did a fantastic job with the interior and exterior of my terrace house and finished the work on time and budget. I would highly recommend them and confidently refer them.
