QBCC cooling-off rulesTwo things that matter more on a Queenslander than on a modern house.
Most Queenslanders were built before 1970, when lead paint was common. It is safe while it stays sealed under newer coats. It becomes a hazard when it is sanded, scraped or burnt off without control, because the dust spreads through the house and garden.
WorkSafe Queensland lists safer methods, including wet scraping, wet hand sanding and power sanders with HEPA dust extraction. Our team is trained in safe lead paint removal and follows these methods.
WorkSafe Queensland guidance
Light body colours with a contrasting trim bring out the fretwork, battens and window frames. Warm, earthy tones suit exposed timber. Cooler shades sit well against Brisbane's greenery.
We help you choose, whether you want to restore the original colour scheme or give the house a new one. Colour advice is included in every quote.

Premium paints only, from Dulux, Taubmans, Wattyl. Outside, we use weather-resistant exterior systems that hold up to UV and moisture. Inside, we use low-VOC paints. Ask Dan which products suit each part of your house.
If the house was built before 1970, assume it does. WorkSafe Queensland says lead paint is most likely on windows, doors, skirtings, exterior walls, gutters and fascias of older buildings. We check during the site visit and plan safe removal into the quote.
Late winter and early spring. August and September are Brisbane's driest months, with about 46mm of rain each, against about 140 to 160mm a month from January to March (Bureau of Meteorology averages). Exterior work runs faster with fewer rain days.
Yes. We help you pick colours that suit the era of the house, whether you want to restore the original scheme or update it.
Every job comes with a 5-year painter's workmanship warranty. Queensland home warranty rules also apply to residential painting over $3,300.
