Case Study: Interior House Painting Adelaide – Rental Repaint Under $5k

This investment property had recently been vacated and was showing its age, having not been painted in over 15 years. The owner needed a fast, cost-effective solution to refresh the home and have it ready for re-letting — without committing to major renovations.

At Adelaide Coatings, we worked around the owner’s schedule, meeting outside standard business hours and moving quickly to minimise vacancy time.

Scope of Works

We completed a full internal repaint throughout the property, including:

  • Ceilings, walls and trims

  • Varnished cupboards

  • Wood panelling and linen cupboards

Given the age of the home and existing varnished surfaces, the correct stain-blocking undercoats were applied to prevent tannin bleed. This was followed by a professional oil-based topcoat system, ensuring a clean, uniform and long-lasting finish.

Why Painting Works for Investment Properties

For older rental properties, painting is one of the most affordable and transformative upgrades available. Without altering layouts or undertaking costly renovations, a professional repaint can modernise tired interiors, brighten spaces and significantly improve rental appeal.

The Result

The entire project was completed in just 3 business days, with a total investment of under $5,000 — delivering one of the most cost-effective transformations available for an older rental property.

The home was left ready for new carpets, updated fixtures and immediate re-letting, helping reduce vacancy time and maximise return.

With 20+ years experience, Adelaide Coatings specialises in fast-turnaround rental and pre-sale repaints, delivering clear communication, the right products and professional finishes — every time.

No messing around.
We get it done.
