How long does painting a house take?

Interior only: 3 to 10 days for a standard home. Exterior only: 5 to 20 days depending on size, access and prep. Full interior plus exterior together is usually 2 to 4 weeks.

Do I need to move out?

No. We work room by room using low-VOC, low-odour paints so you can stay in your home. We seal off working areas, protect floors and furniture, and clean up every day.

What paints do you use?

Premium water-based low-VOC paints from Dulux, Taubmans and Wattyl. Weathershield systems for exteriors, washable finishes for kitchens and bathrooms, and low-sheen or matt for living areas.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. We hold a current QBCC licence and full public liability insurance. We can supply certificates on request before we start on your home.

Do you offer a warranty?

Yes. Every job carries a written workmanship warranty. Paint manufacturer warranties (typically 10–15 years on exterior systems) come with the paint you choose.

Why Brisbane trusts our house painting team

Painting a home in Brisbane is not the same as painting a home in Sydney or Melbourne. Our climate — long humid summers, salty coastal breezes, and intense UV — punishes shortcuts. A cheap two-coat job on a Brisbane exterior can start peeling within two years. Done properly, the same house can hold its finish for a decade or more. That is the difference we build into every quote.
