- Free quotes, no travel fee in Orange
Answered by John himself, not a call centre.
Overview
What to expect
A roof is the hardest-worked surface on the building. Out here it takes frost overnight, forty degrees in February and UV all year, and a coating that was never bonded properly will lift in sheets. Most of a roof job is what happens before the colour goes on: washing off the chalked oxide, treating rust back to bare metal, replacing what has perished, and sealing it. Get that wrong and the finish is on borrowed time no matter what it cost.
What is included
- Colorbond and zincalume recoating
- Concrete and terracotta tile roofs
- Rust cut back and treated before primer
- Full wash-down to remove chalking and lichen
- Gutters, fascia and barge boards done at the same time
- Heat-reflective topcoats where they make sense
Why people in the Central West 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.

How it works
Most of a roof job happens before the colour
A roof coating fails from underneath. What decides how long it lasts is the wash, the rust work and the primer, not the topcoat.
Get up and look
John checks the substrate, the rust, the fixings and what previous coatings have done. Some roofs want painting and some want replacing, and he will say which.
Wash it back
Full wash-down to strip chalked oxide, lichen and dirt. Nothing bonds to a surface that is already shedding.
Rust and repairs
Rust cut back to sound metal and treated, perished fixings replaced, then a primer matched to what is underneath.
Topcoats and gutters
Two coats over the primer, with gutters, fascia and barge boards done at the same time so it reads as one job.

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.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
About two days on a typical house. Most of that is the wash down, the rust treatment and the primer rather than the colour.
No. Some are past coating and want replacing, and John will tell you which one you have before quoting rather than after.
No. John comes out, looks at the job with you and gives you an estimate on site, a written quote, or both. He handles every quote himself rather than sending someone else. On jobs far enough out that they need travel or a night away, those costs are quoted as part of the job so you can see them.
Every job carries a 12-month workmanship guarantee. John inspects at the preparation stage, which is where most problems are still cheap to fix, and again at the end. If something needs attention after that, call him.
Around $500 excluding GST. Below that the setup and travel usually cost more than the work is worth, and John will tell you straight rather than quote you something silly.
It depends on the surfaces more than the size, which is why there is no price list here. John prices per room, per hour, per square metre or per day depending on what suits the job, plus materials. The only accurate answer comes from him seeing it, and that visit is free.
