How to choose the best paint for your home
Carefully crafted Australian paint solutions
Selecting the right paint for your home is a critical decision that can significantly impact the overall result and longevity of your painting project. With a wide range of options available, we understand that choosing suitable paints and colours can feel overwhelming! That’s where the expertise of our friendly team can help guide you towards paint types and colours that will suit your specific purpose.
In selecting paints, we take into account various factors such as the type of surface and conditions. For exterior projects, we consider whether the paint will be appropriate for adhesion to the type of surface such as weatherboard, brick, render, or other substrate, and also recommend paint brands with ranges specifically formulated to withstand the harsh Queensland climate.
When it comes to painting interior spaces, our painters consider the room’s purpose, lighting, and desired finish, among other factors. We may recommend high-performance paints for high-moisture areas like bathrooms or low-VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) paints for nurseries and living spaces that promote visual appeal, longevity, and importantly, your family’s well-being.
Regardless of the project scope, our team is always happy to provide personalised advice and complimentary color consultations for full interior or exterior house paint clients so that you can delight in the finished product for years to come.

How long does it take to paint a house interior?
We usually allow around one week for our professional painters to prepare, paint and finish an interior paint job for a 3 bedroom home.

Painting a traditional Queenslander home can take longer than a standard brick home due to its intricate architecture and the additional attention, preparation, and expertise required.
As a general guide, our experienced painters can usually complete a Queenslander painting and restoration project within around 2-4 weeks. However, this timeframe will naturally depend upon the size, condition, and complexity of the property. Larger Queenslander houses or those that require more extensive restoration and preparation can potentially range from 4 to 8 weeks’ duration.
Please don’t hesitate to get in contact with our friendly team who will be happy to assess your Queenslander and provide a timeframe estimate for the paint job based on your property’s requirements.How long does it take to paint the exterior of a house?

However, if your home requires more extensive preparation work, such as addressing any surface imperfections or repairing damaged areas, the timeline may extend slightly.
