Local HANDS-ON Brisbane Painters!

This is one of the first questions homeowners will ask. At Excellent Painter in Brisbane we are committed to offering a quality service at an affordable price with NO HIDDEN COSTS.

• The total surface area to be painted and style of house
• Whether the paint job is internal/external, or both
• The extent of preparation work required, including if any significant repairs to walls/ceilings/fitted cupboards are needed; and
• The types of paint selected by the client

We are committed to completing jobs efficiently because we understand that you might have tenants moving in, employees waiting for office space or, you just really need your home back!

There are many factors to consider that can impact the time it takes to complete a painting job in Brisbane, Factors such as size of the area to be painted, condition of the surface, painting experience and the weather are but a few.

Bearing all of this in mind, our team at Excellent Painters make sure we prioritise every job to ensure it is completed on time. How do we do this?

• 1. At Excellent Painters, every painter assigned to your job works solely on your job until it’s completed.
  This benefits you because you deal with the same people every day and the job is completed as efficiently as possible. We also think it benefits our employees, because it means they can focus completely on each job rather than driving between multiple sites each day.

• 2. Before we start a job we’ll discuss project timeframes with you and commit to sticking to them
  We’ve been in the painting industry for many years so we have extensive experience determining how long a job will take. If a job is likely to run over-schedule, we’ll inform you as soon as possible.

• 3. We’ll coordinate project timeframes with other tradespeople, maximising efficiency
  Our links with other tradespeople in Brisbane mean, as part of our standard operating procedures, we always discuss the production schedule with them to ensure that each tradesperson is working to a schedule which will maximise efficiency across the whole job. This means you don’t experience frustrating delays due to poor coordination of tradesman.

• 4. We offer an after-hours service
  We understand some jobs are urgent and for this reason, when warranted, we can arrange for after-hours painting to suit your schedule.

The general misconception is that painting is easy. To a certain extent this may be true and in most cases painting is only “made easier” when the area to be painted has had very extensive and well-planned preparation.

Correct preparation can involve extensive work if an existing layer of paint needs removing. Depending on the surface type, and the scale of paint removal required, painters may employ a variety of tools and products including: a simple scraping tool, paint stripping chemicals, a heating gun and even an orbital power sander. An experienced painter will know which tool to use in each situation. They’ll also be aware of the risk of removing paint containing lead (lead paints were commonly used on buildings in Australia before 1971).

Preparation can also take more time if there’s a need for repairing damaged areas, protecting surrounding areas, cleaning surfaces and implementing enhanced safety procedures (which would be required for instance, if removing paints suspected of containing lead, or when working on two storey or higher buildings). The variety of different circumstances painters encounter means they need an in-depth understanding of the broad range of tools and products available to them.

Every property is different and can present unique challenges to even the most experienced painter.

Some of the most common DIY jobs where Excellent Painters Brisbane is “called to the rescue” are due to incorrect preparation, cheap equipment or incorrect materials. Even if the owner may have taken a lot of time for preparation, using the incorrect brush or paint will result in a poor final finish. Let’s discuss paint first.
