We are a highly skilled professional painting service servicing the Brisbane and Gold Coast area for over two decades.
We offer a wide variety of services for projects big and small (and everything else in between)! We do exterior and interior paint jobs for residential, commercial, and industrial projects to lead paint removal, body corporate paint jobs, timber deck restoration, and more!
To get an estimate or a quote for a project, give us a call on 0402 764 497, send us an email at brett@bjcpaintingservices.com.au, message us over on our Facebook page, or simply fill out the form on our website under the “Contact Us” tab
Since every job is different, we’ve come up with a simple process in drawing up an estimate or quote for you. The process consists of:
- A site visit for consultation and to better determine the scope of the project – here we will measure your space and assess the surface for any issues that may arise such as moulds, mildew, rotting timber, rising damp, etc.
- A sit-down discussion to go over your preferences and requirements such as the colour scheme and type of finish along with necessary surface treatments, and estimated project duration.
- A written quote or estimate which includes all the specifics that we’ve agreed upon to be sent to you via email.
As a home or business owner, you can prepare for this by picking out the colours that you want (we found that this is one of the biggest hurdles clients have). We are also more than happy to assist you in choosing the right colour scheme (along with other design elements) for you but it certainly does make it easier if you have a clear vision for the project.
We pride ourselves in being the professionals that we are and we guarantee you that our free estimates include a detailed description of all the tasks needed to be undertaken. Payment terms and estimated time of completion will also be shown.
Once you decide to work with us, we can guarantee that what we present is what you will pay for – no more, no less!

All legitimate and reputable businesses are insured – this protects you, the client. The insurance protects our team too! Our insurance protects our workers in case of any untoward incidents on your property giving you that peace of mind (and less expense) as a home or business owner. Many super low cost painters are not insured…
YES! All work whether big or small – we guarantee to deliver quality service from start to finish. Our work comes with a seven- year workmanship warranty for your satisfaction and peace of mind in the years to come.
- Once you’ve approved the quotation or estimate and have finalised the schedules, we begin by immediately setting up the work area in a manner that will keep any disruptions to a minimum.
- The next step will be prepping of the surfaces – this process includes sanding to get rid of any old paint, filling up cracks to get a smoother finish, and applying the necessary treatments as indicated in the quotation.
- Once all the prep work is done, the painting process begins. An onsite supervisor will be present daily during the duration of the project to ensure that everything is done correctly and everything else goes smoothly. If, during any time of the actual work, you decide to add something to be done – please feel free to call us right away so we can provide you with an updated quote.
- Once the job is done, we call you for a full walkthrough – this is where you can fully inspect the finished job together with the supervisor so we’ll know immediately if you are satisfied or not with the work done. While we always abide by our very high standards of work, we also value feedback from our clients.
- The moment that everything is to your satisfaction and we’ve signed off on the project, we will tidy up the site leaving it spick and span.
Each painting service company has its own formula to calculate the cost of a paint job. Our company follows this simple workflow in drawing up a quote:
- We conduct a site visit for a consultation and inspection to determine the scope of the project. We will also measure your space and assess the surface for problems that may need to be addressed such as rising damp, moulds, mildew, rotten timber, and excess moisture.
- We’ll sit down and discuss your preferences and requirements such as the colour scheme to be used and the type of finish. We will also discuss other specifics such as the number of coats to be applied, the number of painters who will be working on the project, surface treatments if necessary, and the estimated turnaround time.
- After gathering all information we need for the project, we will prepare a written quote along with all the project specifics that we have both agreed on, and send it over to you via email.
The written quote will have the description of work including the breakdown of each task that needs to be done such as surface preparation, number of coats to be applied, cost of labour. You will also see the payment terms and the project’s estimated time of completion.
Our quotes are clear and easy to understand. What you see on the sheet is all that you will pay for once the job is done. There are no hidden charges whatsoever so you will not be caught off guard with a huge bill.
After you approve the quote and finalise the schedule along with all the other details, we’ll commence with setting up the work area in such a way that it will minimise disruption as much as possible.
Our team will then proceed with prepping the surfaces such as sanding, filling up visible cracks, and apply all necessary wall treatment as detailed on the quote.
After surface preparation and treatment, we will begin painting. We have a supervisor overseeing the project on a daily basis to minimise, if not avoid any mistakes and redos that may delay the project completion. If there’s anything you need to be done that’s not indicated on the quote, please feel free to call us so we can draw up another quote and send it over to you.
Once the job is done, we will ask you to inspect it. Our supervisor will accompany you so we’ll know straight away whether or not you are satisfied with the work. While we set a very high standard on every task that we undertake, only our clients have the final say whether we did an excellent job or not. This is how much we value our client feedback after project completion.
When we get your thumbs up on the project, we’ll tidy up the place and leave it as clean as when we have first arrived
