Question 1

What areas do you service?

Accepted Answer

We focus on Brisbane's western corridor, from Oxley to Bardon, with priority service in Kenmore, Chapel Hill, Toowong and Sherwood. Suitable projects in our extended service area are considered based on scope and current scheduling.

Question 2

Are you QBCC licensed?

Accepted Answer

Yes. SQPD holds QBCC licence #15194149, which can be checked on the QBCC public register. Our ABN is 12 677 039 173. Ask Andres for any current project document you need before work starts.

Question 3

Do you paint Queenslander and heritage homes?

Accepted Answer

We assess Queenslander and character-home repainting projects, including weatherboard, VJ walls, fretwork and older coating systems. The inspection identifies the preparation, access and any testing or specialist work needed before we quote.

Question 4

Can you handle lead paint safely?

Accepted Answer

Older coatings can require additional assessment before sanding or removal. Tell us if lead paint is known or suspected. We will identify any testing, containment or specialist referral needed before that work is included in the scope.

Question 5

How long have you been in business?

Accepted Answer

Smart Quality Painting has been painting Brisbane homes since 2020, with a current growth focus on Brisbane's western corridor, from Oxley to Bardon.

Question 6

How much does house painting cost in Brisbane?

Accepted Answer

House-painting cost depends on the included surfaces, condition, preparation, access, repairs, products and colour changes. We inspect those variables and provide a fixed written price for the agreed scope rather than publishing a range that may not fit the property.

Question 7

How much does it cost to paint a 3-bedroom house in Brisbane?

Accepted Answer

Bedroom count alone is not enough to price a repaint. Ceiling height, trim, included rooms, surface condition, access, preparation, products and colour changes all affect the scope. We confirm those items before providing a fixed written quote.

Question 8

Is the quote free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we provide free, no-obligation quotes. We will visit your property, assess the work required, and provide a detailed written quote. You get your written, fixed-price quote within one business day of the inspection.

Question 9

What's included in the quote?

Accepted Answer

The written quote identifies the included areas, preparation, protection, product system, number of coats, exclusions and fixed price. Any change to that agreed scope is discussed and priced in writing before extra work proceeds.

Question 10

How long does it take to paint a house?

Accepted Answer

Timing depends on the included areas, surface condition, access, preparation, coating system and weather. We confirm the proposed start date and project duration for the inspected scope in your written quote.

Question 11

How soon can you start?

Accepted Answer

We respond to every enquiry within one business day. On-site inspection timing depends on your suburb and our current workload, and we will confirm a date when we call. Start dates depend on current bookings, but we will give you a clear scheduled start date in writing with your quote.

Question 12

Do I need to move out during painting?

Accepted Answer

Many interior projects can be sequenced room by room while the home remains occupied. We discuss access, furniture movement, drying time and any rooms that need to be unavailable before confirming the work plan.

Question 13

What preparation work do you do?

Accepted Answer

Preparation is specified for the inspected surface condition. It can include cleaning, filling, sanding, caulking, spot priming, masking and protection. The written quote states what is included rather than relying on a generic preparation promise.

Question 14

What paint brands do you use?

Accepted Answer

We specify the primer, topcoat, sheen and product range for the surface and intended use. The product schedule is confirmed in the written quote, and brand preferences can be discussed during the inspection.

Question 15

Can you help choose colours?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We can discuss colour direction and sheen during the quote process, and identify where samples or a dedicated colour consultation would help before the final product schedule is approved.

Question 16

Do you offer eco-friendly paint options?

Accepted Answer

Low-VOC product options are available for suitable interior applications. We confirm the exact product and its technical information in the quote rather than making general health or environmental claims.

Question 17

What warranty do you provide?

Accepted Answer

We provide a 5-year workmanship warranty on included interior and exterior painting, and a 1-year workmanship warranty on included cabinet painting, subject to the published terms, scope and exclusions.

Question 18

What if I'm not satisfied with the work?

Accepted Answer

We complete a final walkthrough against the written scope before handover. If you identify a workmanship concern, we record it, assess it against the agreed finish and warranty terms, and confirm the corrective action required.

Question 19

How do I maintain painted surfaces?

Accepted Answer

Cleaning and cure requirements depend on the specified coating. We provide the relevant product and care information at handover so you know when and how the finished surfaces can be cleaned.
