Mario and the team repainted the whole weatherboard on our Balmain cottage. Showed up at 7:02 every morning, tarps everywhere, gone by 3:30. Two years on, not a flake.

About - The Opera story

Two brothers,
one steady hand.

Opera started in 2012 with a single Hilux ute, a ladder and one job in Leichhardt. Fourteen years on we're still a family outfit - four painters, one colour consultant, zero sub-contractors.

Every quote comes from Mario or Tom. Every brushstroke does too.

THE TEAM · 2026 /01
01 VALUE

Prep is the job

Two days of prep for every one day of painting. It's why our work still looks new at year five.

02 VALUE

Fixed, written quotes

No "while we're here" upsells. What we quote is what you pay, down to the last litre.

03 VALUE

The same crew, every day

Same faces start to finish. We learn your coffee order by Wednesday.

04 VALUE

Low-VOC by default

Kids at home? We upgrade to low-odour, zero-VOC paints at no extra charge.

Credentials

Licensed, insured,
accredited.

We hold every permit you'd expect of a NSW painting contractor, and we're happy to email them before you sign anything.
