⚠️ Common mistakes
- •Skipping prep — painters who cut corners on sanding and priming leave a 3-year finish, not 10
- •Lead paint risk in pre-1970 homes — disturbing it without proper PPE is a health hazard
- •Painting over the wrong substrate — bare render, rust or unprimed timber needs the right primer first, or the topcoat peels within a season
Painters in Northern — FAQs
How long does a full-house exterior repaint take?
Typical 4-bed Queenslander exterior: 2-3 weeks weather permitting (1 week prep, 1 week paint, 3-5 days for trim and details). Brick rendered homes are quicker, weatherboard slower.
Do I need to prepare anything before the painter arrives?
Move furniture 1m off walls, take down pictures and curtains, identify cracks or holes you want filled. Discuss any colour-match samples 1-2 weeks before they start mixing.
How much does it cost to paint a house in SEQ?
As a rough guide, interior repaints run roughly $20-$45/m² of floor area depending on prep and ceiling height, and a full exterior repaint on a standard home often lands in the low-to-mid five figures. Prep condition and access (two-storey, steep blocks) move the price most.
How long should a paint job last?
A properly prepped interior lasts 7-10 years and quality exterior work 5-8 years in SEQ's sun and humidity. Jobs that skip sanding and priming can fail in 2-3 years — prep, not paint brand, is what makes it last.
