What to Consider
When planning a quality painting project in Townsville and surrounding areas, obtaining a detailed quote is a crucial first step – whether you’re looking at interior, exterior, residential, or commercial painting.
Understanding the factors involved in a painting quote can help you set expectations, make informed decisions, and ensure a successful outcome. Below, we outline the key aspects we consider when quoting painting projects across Townsville. From surface preparation and paint type to project size and complexity, this guide will help you navigate the quoting process and choose the right services for your needs.
1. Type of Painting Project
What kind of painting work do you need? Interior walls, exterior surfaces, or commercial buildings?
Depending on your needs, our different painting projects come with varying levels of complexity, materials and tools needs.
2. Surface Size & Condition
What are the dimensions of the the area to be painted?
The size of the surface (i.e. the surface area) directly impacts the amount of paint, materials and labour needed.
Additionally, the condition of the surfaces – such as cracks, peeling paint, or stains – can also affect preparation time and costs.
3. Paint Type & Quality
What kind of paint best suits your project?
Higher-quality paints can offer better durability, aesthetic appeal, and long-term value. However, they also come at a higher upfront cost. We can recommend the best paint options for needs and assist in finding a good product that will also help you meet your budget.
4. Surface Preparation
Does the surface require cleaning, sanding, priming or repairs? Thorough preparation is critical for achieving a flawless finish and ensure long-lasting results. Additional preparation may influence the cost of your painting project.
5. Colours & Finishes
Have you chosen your colours and finishes (e.g. matte, satin, gloss)? Different finishes serve different purposes and can affect the final result’s cost and appearance?

6. Accessibility
How easy is it to access the areas needing painting?
High ceilings, hard-to-reach exterior walls, or obstructed areas may require specialised equipment like scaffolding or lifts, impacting both the timeline and price.
Additionally, consider whether furniture needs to be moved or flooring protected before painting begins. Removing furniture or covering surfaces like carpets and hardwood floors can add to the preparation time and cost, but may be necessary to achieve the best paint result.
Finally, ensure the property can be accessed during normal business hours or discuss any specific scheduling needs. Limited access to the property or working outside standard hours may require adjustments to the project timeline and could incur additional costs.
7. Regulations & Compliance
Are there any local regulations or guidelines to consider?
Specific painting standards or compliance requirements for commercial or strata properties may exist.
8. Labour Costs
Do you need a quote for labour and materials, or just the painting service? Skilled painters ensure professional results, saving time and preventing costly mistakes. Labour costs may vary depending on the project’s scope and complexity.
9. Timeline & Urgency
What is your project timeline? If you have a tight deadline, expedited services may incur additional fees, but we can work with you to meet your schedule.
