A painter built for larger Brisbane projects

North Brisbane and Moreton Bay are home to some of South-East Queensland's most distinctive housing stock — grand Queenslanders in Ascot, character workers' cottages in Wilston and Nundah, ashgrovian homes in Ashgrove, and bayside weatherboard houses in Sandgate, Shorncliffe and Redcliffe. These properties deserve more than a roller-and-run paint job.

We focus on projects where craftsmanship, preparation and the right paint system make the difference between a five-year and a fifteen-year finish. Full repaints, heritage restorations, complete interior refreshes and large commercial repaints are our day-to-day work.

What we specialise in

Heritage & period repaints

Queenslanders, federation, ashgrovian and colonial homes painted in period-correct schemes with traditional finishes.

Full weatherboard repaints

Strip, prep, prime and finish for timber-clad homes across Brisbane's bayside and northern suburbs.

Complete interior repaints

Whole-home and multi-room interiors — ceilings, walls, trim, cornices and joinery, taken seriously.

Exterior house painting

Rendered, fibre cement, brick and timber exteriors with long-life Australian paint systems.

Commercial & strata

Shopfronts, offices and body-corporate programs scheduled around trading hours across the region.

Decorative & specialty

Feature ceilings, VJ panelling, French wash, limewash and timber restoration finishes.

The standard

Hand-cut lines. No tape edges. Every job.

The detail you'd never notice from the kerb is what we obsess over up close — because it's the difference between a coat of paint and a finish that lasts.

Why North Brisbane homeowners choose us

Prep treated as the job

Surface preparation is the most important step — not the fastest. The finish lives or dies here.

Lead-safe on heritage

Lead-safe practices and containment on older properties built before 1970 — protecting your family and crew.

Premium AU systems

Australian paint systems matched to the substrate, exposure and use — never specced down on price.

Itemised quotes

Detailed, written, line-by-line quotes — no vague single-line pricing or surprise variations.

Insured & respectful

Fully insured with a clean, low-impact presence in occupied homes — daily clean-down, careful covers.

Built for long programs

Trusted on multi-week projects — full repaints, restorations and commercial work delivered to schedule.

Frequently asked questions

Do you specialise in heritage and period homes in North Brisbane?

Yes. We work extensively on Queenslanders, federation homes, character cottages and weatherboard houses across North Brisbane and Moreton Bay. Period properties need careful surface preparation, lead-safe practices on older paint, and traditional colour schemes — we handle all of it.

What size projects do you take on?

We focus on larger projects: full exterior repaints of weatherboard and rendered homes, complete interior repaints, multi-room renovations, full heritage restorations and commercial repaints. We are not the right fit for single feature walls or touch-ups.

How long does a full weatherboard repaint take?

A typical full weatherboard repaint on a Queenslander takes between two and four weeks depending on the level of preparation required, the number of stories, decorative timber detail and weather conditions.

Do you provide written, itemised quotes?

Every quote is detailed and itemised — surface preparation, primers, paint systems, coats and timelines are all spelled out so you know exactly what you are paying for.

What paint brands do you use?

We use premium Australian-made paint systems matched to the substrate and exposure — long-life exterior systems for weatherboards, low-VOC interior systems for living spaces, and specialist coatings for heritage timber and metal work.

In their words

Trusted on long-program projects.

Dan and his team repainted our 1920s Queenslander end-to-end. The prep work alone took two weeks — five years on, the finish still looks brand new.

Ashgrove · Heritage repaint

We had three painters quote our weatherboard restoration in Sandgate. Dan's quote was the most detailed by a mile, and the execution matched it.

Sandgate · Full exterior

Whole-home interior repaint in an occupied house with two kids. Clean, respectful, on schedule, and the cut-lines are razor-sharp.
