Answered by John himself, not a call centre.
Overview
What to expect
Wallpaper is unforgiving. A seam that is a millimetre out is visible from across the room, a pattern that drifts cannot be nudged back, and paper hung on a wall that was not prepared will lift at the edges within a season. Removal is often the harder half: old paper comes off in layers, the backing stays behind, and what is underneath is anybody's guess until it is bare. We strip it properly, repair what the paper was hiding, and size the wall before anything new goes on.
What is included
- Pattern matching and plumb hanging on every drop
- Steam stripping, including stubborn backing paper
- Plaster and gyprock repair once the wall is bare
- Walls sized and sealed before new paper goes up
- Feature walls or whole rooms
- Painting the rest of the room in the same visit
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
Off the wall, or onto it, without the mess
Wallpaper punishes shortcuts. Whether we are taking it off or putting it up, most of the work happens before the interesting part starts.
Look behind the paper
John checks what he is dealing with — how many layers, what is underneath, whether the wall is plaster or gyprock. That decides the method and the price.
Strip and repair
Steamed off in layers, backing paper included, then the wall gets made good. Old paper hides a lot of patching, and it all has to come back flat.
Prepare and size
Sanded, sealed and sized so the new paper bonds evenly and comes off cleanly for whoever deals with it next.
Hang it plumb
First drop set against a plumb line, not the corner, because corners are never square. Patterns matched at every seam, edges rolled, offcuts taken away.

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.
