I would like to thank Mohamed and team from Mosman painting for the fantastic painting job they did for me today! From beginning to end-Mohamed was very professional answering all my questions and talking me through the whole process of getting my walls painted and architraves done. I highly recommend Mohamad to get the job done in a timely,… Read more
efficient and cleanly manner. I was very impressed. Thanks again Mohamad-I will definitely be calling you again for any paint jobs needed!

It’s taken me some time to find the right platform to share this, but in October 2025 I had my newly built 3x2 plus a theatre home painted by Jim’s Painting Cockburn in WA, specifically by Peyman and his team, and the results were extremely disappointing. The ceilings and edges were poorly finished, there was paint mess throughout various areas… Read more
and nearby items in the home, sections were completely missed, and the walls did not appear to be prepped or sanded properly at all. For a brand‑new home and a well‑known franchise, this was incredibly disappointing. When we asked Peyman to return, he was initially defensive and argumentative despite the issues being obvious. He later agreed to fix them, but on inspection the second time, many problems were still not resolved and additional paint marks had been created on areas that were previously clean. At that point, we no longer trusted the quality of his work and did not feel comfortable allowing him to attempt further repairs. We escalated the issue with Jim’s Painting Cockburn and were told someone would contact us, but no one ever did. After paying $5,000, we have been left in limbo and will now have to pay again to have the work redone. Two independent professional painters have since confirmed that the original job was poorly completed. For a large franchise, the quality and accountability were far below expectations. I can only upload 10 photos here, but unfortunately there are many more examples of the poor workmanship.
Greenway, Canberra. The painter is with the job for a day, I am with it for years so I wanted it done right. I bought colours and Mojiba did the job. He has a steady hand and his professionalism was welcome. Once he completed the first coat he asked me to check his work and then the same with the second. I saw minor things and he immediately… Read more
fixed them. And said that if I found any other issues later to call him and he would return and fix them. There are no issues. A very decent chap. Mojiba and Jim's Painters delivered exactly the kind of reliable, quality service I was hoping for. I covered furniture and moved everything away from the walls prior. I hope I didn't give him vertigo with my colours.

A total nightmare – Don't let these people touch your house. I didn't know it was possible to screw up a paint job so badly that my home now needs to be painted all over again. Parvis and his crew have totally ruined my home. Not a single surface has been done properly. Paint spills everywhere, missed spots, majpr blistering and exposed wall from peeling paint,… Read more
holes still in wall, streaking, no preparation whatsoever, crooked and ugly to say the least. Attention to detail non existent!! For $5800 for a 2 bedroom unit....absolute crap. And they say they are professional ?? I can't even bare look at it. My home looked better before they came in( I'm not exaggerating either)and now I have to pay someone else to at least try to correct the mess. Not to mention them breaking my curtains and leaving paint all over my tiles. I was told it would take 6 days and it only took 3 and a half...obviously it was rushed and it certainly shows. Never again. I'd rather pay more for the job to be done properly by real professionals and these guys are a joke!!"

"Professional" should be removed from the name of this business – My experience: They did not properly prep, they over-sprayed around the property, in particular where the house met the footpath, they sprayed over wasp nests on the wall, they damaged a section of fibro cladding then taped over it and sprayed over that in the hope it wouldn't be noticed. There were several other issues however I think I've made my point ... not professional honest operators!! Show details

Great experience in Dickson ACT – Mojiba did external painting of my house at Dickson ACT following installation of new gutters and down pipes and other external maintenance. He responded quickly. The job was performed in a timely manner, neatly, without mess, and to a high standard. Moji provided good and accurate advice. I can recommend him.
Jim's painting provided timely response – Jim's painting staff actually rang me back immediately after I called for a quote. Then they arrange a quotation and sent me the quote by email shortly.
Quick, reliable and high quality paint job – Amir from Jim's Painting (Box Hill) was reliable, helpful and provided great customer service. The communication was prompt and the paint job was of high quality. I would recommend using Amir for your next paint job.

Untrustworthy, Unprofessional and Unreliable – Contacted Jims Painting via its website requesting a quote for exterior painting services in Ivanhoe V. Franchisee inspected premises and subsequently provided a quotation of around $10000, a validity period of 2 business days and a request for a 50% deposit in advance. Emailed us a contract which we signed, noting that the franchisee had not… Read more
signed, and advised work would commence the following fortnight.
We purchased the paint and made the site accessible. However then received notification from the Franchisee that he would not be doing the job at the time contracted or at any other time and the reason given was he now had plenty of other work. Contacted Jims and was advised that the contractor was within his rights to cancel. This is probably buried in Jims Ts and Cs, maybe not illegal but at best unethical. Advice; do not go anywhere near Jims Painting, there are plenty of alternates.
Threatening and intimidation towards a woman – Please do not use jims painting services full stop !!!!!!! I booked a painter from jims painting services malvern and what a disaster !!!!! This is a genuine rating. The painter Harry ( Ha.....za Kh........an ) that came to my 1 x bedroom apartment For the single women booking a painter do not use jims painting services or this male !!!!!! The… Read more
situation was that I asked him for additional identification seeing he was entering my home whilst I was going to be alone with him. He refused point blank !!!!! This was on the day of commencement. He had asked for my apartment key and I refused . I had given him a fob which accesses the building yet when I had asked for it back he refused and said he will return " my personal property only when I pay him !!!!! I found this extremely intimidating and threatining . I had asked him continuously over 10 times to give me my private property back and he kept refusing until I threatened him to call the police as I felt very unsafe !!!!! I had paid him $500 directly into his account and he did nothing but to patch half a dozen picture holes in the walls within 6 hours . After being conserned for my safety ( day 2 ) I had to demand he leave my premises !!!! He refused so at that point he was trespassing . I had to call on my building manager at that point. I had called " jims franchise on 2 x occasions . During the incident I had called them and explained what was occurring. I have since spoken with jessica the australian manager and intially she was very understanding and empathetic about the incident. I have since been advised that jims painting franchise will not pursue this matter any further. They have washed their hands and will not take any responsibility of the abusive and threatning behaviour of one of their franchisee towards a woman ( cleints ). As for jims services , do not use them !!!!!!! They do not support safe environments for women !!!!!!! Please , please , please do not use this franchise and this particular person .
Buyer do not use them – Buyer beware. Alex is a dishonest painter. I hired him for a renovation paint and he quoted me top $ not only did he not do a professional job but he also didn’t use the paint I paid for. Deluxe Wash & Wear. Jim’s had to come and do a repaint of all his work. He didn’t even clean paint of my Aircon’s which had to be serviced after and left paint… Read more
Staines all over and in the filters, also in all the internal toilet covers. He even drank my drinks 12 cans of soft drink from my fridge and never replaced them like he said. Don not use this guy, if you do you will have to get Jim’s involved to help and trust me that’s hard also. I am still waiting for 6 more sections to be confirmed after the warranty work due to the paint not being what I paid for. I could go on and on … and I will Alex didn’t even paid behind the Fridge, or behind my Plax which we had moved for him. Alex even damaged my wall and plasterboard trying to fix some skirting. He even left half of my French Door unstained… the woodwork was rough and had drips from the oil on all the woodwork, plus all the lines were wobbly and they had to be sanded back and repainted.
He is a liar and cuts every corner he can. I don’t want anyone else to suffer like I have. I should ad the photos, but I won’t, I do hope you readers take this review seriously.
Jim himself was happy not to complete the rest of the painting, due to the painter not using the paint I paid for. Shame on this brand and Jim doesn’t stand up for what’s right. He just told me to take it to court. Great brand Jim’s letting dishonest unprofessional people buy your franchise.

Fabulous workdone & Thanks a lot – Marwan is a so nice painter who is very kind and friendly. His service was so wonderful and great. We definitely will contact him for our future paintings as well as highly recommended him as a fabulous painter. Thank you so much for great works. We sincerely appreciate it.
Reliable and great result – I've used the Adelaide franchisee twice over the last 12-18 months (first some doors then full internal). I found the usual service I expect from a Jim's franchise - respond quickly to inquiries, competitive pricing, turn up when they say they will, professional, and deliver a great result. Matt and his team know their craft and went over and above to deliver a beautiful result. I'll be using them again for the next job.
Fantastic work and very professional – The team was exceptionally good and the painting very professional - we are extremely happy with the result.
Farad is amazing! – He came on time. He did it on time. He was consistent with his quote. He did an excellent job. I never got to meet him face to face but he just got on with it. Extremely respectful and professional.

Sam and Amir- amazing team and fantastic job! – They were at my house at 9am on the dot and carried out some incredible work. They painted our internal doors and our French doors. Sam and Amir are a fantastic team, they are super professional and have excellent attention to detail. They are friendly and very hard working and make sure you are happy. Would definitely use them again and highly recommend. A+!!
I chose Jim’s – I wasn’t sure where to start looking for a reliable painter then thought of Jim’s. Best decision ever, Farhad and his assistant are efficient, professional and helpful to questions I had.
Very professional – The painter was very polite and any mess made was cleaned up. I am very happy with painting done
Not professional – No preparation, so rust coming through after 2weeks. Terrible finish sorry we paid them,and I would not get them back to repair as not confidant it would be done correctly again.In fairness to them there was a language barrier as to what I was expecting from the job,but didn’t expect the horrible outcome obviously not professional painters Jim needs to address this as it bad for his name
Two Different Franchisees - Painting and Security Door Repair – I had two jobs that had been on my ToDoList for a couple of years and were annoying me. They were repairing our front security door that had was not closing properly because of movement in the house foundations plus rust proofing the large roof on a flat/garage combo that was starting to move to my urgent list. I rang Jim's for help and they… Read more
allocated the jobs to two franchisees within twenty four hours and they were completed to my total satisfaction within the week. Both rated five star performance in my opinion and I was able to cross off two annoying DIY jobs that had me bluffed.
Prompt and caring – We had requested a quote for the painting of our home external and Internal. Sami did provide a quote that seemed to be reasonable but, we are at the moment having other issues that may prevent us from taking this any further waiting on Medical results. I have explained this to Sami and he is willing to wait until I next contact him.
Happy customer – High praise to Farad and his colleague Yosh who did a fantastic prep and paint job in our kitchen/living area. We felt the price for the job (considering the room size, patching etc that had to be done) was extremely reasonable. Both guys were very pleasant to deal with and completed the job in a day. Highly recommended.
Fantastic paint job by super professionals! – I cannot thank Amir and Sam (from Jim's Painting Mernda) enough for the wonderful job they did in our double story home. They painted the whole interior and fixed the many holes in the walls.. it looks like a brand new home! From the first inspection until the very end they were very open, honest, professional, respectful and kept us up to date on… Read more
what they were doing. After a terrible experience with another contractor we were so happy to work with Revival Design Pro and would definitely recommend them!
