Painting leads

Painter leads without paying per quote

Painting is quoted competitively and won on price more often than most trades — which makes a per-lead fee on top hard to wear. QuickQuote is free to start, or AU$49 a month, and only three painters quote each job.

What the work is worth

Typical painting job values

These are QuickQuote's own published cost ranges — the same figures homeowners see before they post. Knowing the band up front is half of deciding whether a job is worth quoting.

Painters
$400$13,000
Wallpapering
$300$6,500
House Rendering
$6,000$32,000
Floor Coatings
$800$9,500

Typical national ranges for the whole job, not a quote. Actual prices vary by scope, access and region — see the full cost guides for how each is built up.

Why a flat fee

What per-lead pricing does to a painter

Thin margins don't need a lead fee on top

Painting quotes are compared closely and won on fine margins. A flat monthly fee keeps the lead cost out of the pricing entirely.

Quote a whole street the same month

Busy periods cost you nothing extra. Quote one job or forty, the fee doesn't move.

Only three painters quote each job

Not an open bidding pool. Three quotes means the cheapest isn't automatically the only one considered.
