What does a commercial painting project really demand?

Far more than paint on a wall. A commercial job runs to a programme, needs access planned around other trades, has to keep the site operating, and demands full licensing and compliance. The painter who can hold all of that together, and still deliver a consistent finish across a large site, is the one worth hiring.



A repaint that drags on, a crew that clashes with other trades, or a contractor who cannot produce the right licences can cost you time, money and a handover date. We built We Paint Gold Coast to take that risk off the table: one qualified in-house team, planned access, clean site discipline and clear communication from quote to handover. Here is who we paint for, and what matters most to each.

Tier 1 & Tier 2 Builders

You need a crew that reads the programme, turns up when scheduled and works cleanly alongside other trades without holding up the site. We hold a consistent finish across large builds and are a steady hand for new builds, defect rectification and repeat project work.

Property Owners & Facility Managers

Offices, retail centres, warehouses and large complexes need to keep operating while they are painted. We plan around tenants and trading hours, keep the site tidy, and communicate clearly so there are no surprises for you or your occupants.

Retail, Hospitality & Fit-Outs

Cafes, restaurants, hotels and showrooms run to tight pre-opening deadlines, and the finish is the first thing customers notice. We deliver a clean, sharp result on schedule so you can open on time and on brand.

Government, Education & Healthcare

Schools, childcare, aged care, hospitals and medical centres demand full licensing, the right insurances and a proven compliance record. We hold all three and are active in the QBuild tender portal. See the Government & Institutional section below for the detail.

Everything our commercial painting service covers

Commercial painting on the Gold Coast covers the preparation, coating and protection of commercial and industrial buildings, inside and out. We handle interior and exterior painting, roof painting and restoration, pressure washing, plastering, minor repairs and line marking for warehouses, offices, retail, hospitality and large complexes across the Coast. Whatever the size of the building, the same qualified crew, premium coatings and prep-led approach apply.

Most painting companies send epoxy flooring out to a third party, which leaves you juggling two trades, two quotes and two site inductions. We handle both the painting and the epoxy flooring ourselves, with the same crew, on the same programme and under the same workmanship warranty. On warehouses, workshops, showrooms, commercial kitchens and retail fit-outs, where the walls and the floor are part of the same handover, that means tighter coordination and a single point of contact.

Every painter is employed by us, qualified, and held to the same standard, so the crew that quotes your job is the crew that finishes it. You get a consistent finish across a large site and the same leading hands from the first coat to handover. For a builder or facility manager, that is one team to brief, one team to trust and one team that owns the result.

Preparation is where a commercial finish is won or lost. We will not paint over mud wasps, bird droppings, contamination or failing substrate. Every surface is washed, sanded back where needed, filled and primed before any top coat, using dust-free sanding with vacuum extraction and modern airless spray equipment, so the finish holds up in coastal Queensland conditions.

Premium coatings matched to the coast

We specify premium commercial systems from Wattyl, Dulux and Resene, matched to the building, the surface and its exposure. For exteriors facing salt air, humidity and UV, we use proven systems such as Dulux Weathershield and Wattyl Solagard. It is worth knowing the difference between two warranties: the paint carries a manufacturer product warranty (Dulux Weathershield and Wattyl Solagard exterior systems are backed by a 20 year product warranty when applied correctly), while we separately back our own labour with a workmanship warranty on every commercial job.

Painting government and institutional buildings on the Gold Coast

We Paint Gold Coast is active in the Queensland Government QBuild tender portal and has a strong track record on hospitals, schools, medical centres, childcare and aged care facilities. We hold the licensing, insurances and certifications that regulated and public sites require, and our team keeps the work compliant and accountable.

Public and institutional sites come with strict protocols, and often have students, patients, residents or staff present throughout the works. We plan the job around them, maintain clean and safe site discipline, and keep facility managers informed at every stage.

How a commercial painting project runs with us

Working with us is straightforward, and you are kept in the loop the whole way. Here is how a commercial project runs from first contact to handover.

/ 01

Site assessment with Trent.

Trent visits the site personally to understand the scope, access, surfaces and your programme.

/ 02

Detailed, itemised quote.

You receive a clear, line-by-line quote that sets out scope, coatings and access, so you know exactly what is included before any work begins.

/ 03

Access and programme planning.

We plan multi-storey access with licensed cherry pickers and scissor lifts, schedule around your trading hours and other trades, and complete site inductions before we start.

/ 04

Thorough preparation.

Surfaces are washed, sanded, filled and primed. We never paint over contamination or failing substrate to save time.

/ 05

Quality application.

Our in-house crew applies premium coatings, with the same leading hands on site from start to finish.

/ 06

Proactive communication.

We reach out the moment an issue arises, rather than letting it surface at handover.

/ 07

Walkthrough and handover.

We walk the completed job with you, tidy the site, and can set up an aftercare and maintenance plan to protect the finish long-term.

What shapes the cost of a commercial paint job

No two commercial buildings are the same, so we price every job per project rather than at a fixed rate. The price comes down to the size and height of the building, the condition and type of surfaces, access requirements, the coating system specified, and the scope of prep and repairs involved.

We quote every commercial job on-site so the number reflects your building, not a rough guess. You receive a clear, itemised quote with no hidden costs, which makes it easy for committees, owners and head contractors to compare and sign off. The cheapest quote is rarely the cheapest job once rushed prep starts failing, so our pricing reflects the prep, coatings and in-house crew that make the finish last.

For general guidance on how we price, see our pricing page. For a firm number, the most accurate figure always comes from an on-site quote with Trent.

Commercial painting is quoted per project, not at a fixed rate, because the cost depends on the size of the building, the surfaces and their condition, and the scope of work. The most accurate figure comes from a free, no-obligation on-site quote, with a clear, itemised breakdown before any work begins. You can also find general guidance on our pricing page.

Yes, and it is a real advantage on commercial jobs. Most painters contract epoxy out to a third party, while we complete it with our own team and equipment. That means one point of contact and one standard of quality when your walls and floors are part of the same project. See our epoxy flooring page for more.

Yes. We access multi-storey work with licensed cherry pickers and scissor lifts, operated by certified team members. We do not offer high-rise rope access, so multi-storey buildings within safe reach of elevated work platforms are well within our scope.

Recent commercial work on the Gold Coast

A look at the commercial and industrial projects we have delivered across the Coast, from warehouse repaints to office fit-outs and institutional sites.

Holiday Park Cabins · Tallebudgera Creek

A set of holiday park cabins at Tallebudgera Creek given the full We Paint treatment. Dated timber-panelled interiors were prepped, filled and rolled out in crisp white, turning tired cabins into fresh, modern stays without the cost of a rebuild, and finished quickly to keep the park trading.

McDonald’s · Aratula

Our first McDonald’s, delivered with SJ Higgins Group at Aratula. The team painted the new restaurant inside and out, from the feature red walls and exterior cladding worked off boom lifts through to the ceilings, walls and service areas inside, all on a tight commercial build program.

Factory Epoxy Floor · Gold Coast

Commercial epoxy flooring for a Gold Coast factory. The slab was ground and prepped, then a full flake epoxy system was rolled out across the floor and sealed with a hard-wearing clear coat, giving the business a bright, seamless surface that stands up to forklifts, chemicals and daily wear.

Cyana Ferguson

Painter

Cyana is one of the proud women in the trade, and the kind of painter you want on the precision work. She picked up a brush five years ago after her boyfriend (a painter himself) nudged her toward the trade, and she has not looked back. She finished her Cert III in Painting and Decorating in 2024 and was a finalist for Apprentice of the Year in both 2022 and 2024, no small feat. On site, she is known for her careful, patient hand: clean cutting in along colour changes, and the meticulous prep and gloss work on trims, frames and doors.

Born on 19 April, Cyana shares her birthday with Kate Hudson, and the two would get along famously: a love of good food, a strong creative streak, and a zest for life all round. Off the tools, you will find Cyana painting artistically in her own time, dabbling in arts and craft, or hunting down a good feed.

Daniel Yeowart

Painter

Daniel is now in his sixth year on the tools and has built his name on high-end residential new builds right across the Gold Coast and Northern Rivers. As a Painter with the We Paint Gold Coast crew, he is trained up on the spray gun and brings the clean, considered finish that brand new homes call for. Cert III qualified in Painting and Decorating, he is the kind of hand who takes pride in getting it right the first time.

Born on 26 December, Daniel shares his birthday with Jared Leto, a man who balances a flat out career with a genuine love of the outdoors and adventure. Daniel is cut from the same cloth: easygoing, always good for a yarn, and happiest once the workday is done. When the rollers are down, you will find him with his family, out in the surf, or kicking back with a cold one at the pub.

Bryce McInally

Leading Hand Painter

Bryce brings seven years of trade-qualified painting experience to the team, with work spanning Brisbane, the Gold Coast and across New South Wales. He started his apprenticeship in 2019, worked for a small business on new housing estates, moved across to commercial high-rise work, and now puts his hand to high-end new homes with the We Paint Gold Coast crew. As Leading Hand Painter, his specialty is spray work on gloss framework and the patient art of staining timbers, with prep work where he takes the most pride.

Bryce stands by the team motto, “We paint because you don’t,” a line that captures the no-shortcuts mindset he brings to every job. Born on 12 June, he shares his birthday with George H.W. Bush, a man who would happily ditch any obligation for a rod, a boat and a quiet stretch of water. Bryce is cut from the same cloth: when the brushes are down, you will find him fishing on land or out on his boat, or kicking back with his girlfriend and family.

Rafael Tinoco Vilaca

Painter

Rafael brings six years in the trade to We Paint Gold Coast, having worked his way up from apprentice to supervisor and now running jobs from start to finish. A licensed painter, he has experience across every corner of the painting business, and working on new builds is well and truly his cup of tea. On the tools or steering a site, he brings the same steady, do-it-properly approach to every job.

Rafael lives by the saying “The present time has no advantage over every other: it is our own,” a reminder to make the most of life now rather than dwelling on the past or the future. Born on 26 July, he shares his birthday with Mick Jagger, a frontman known for leading from the front and wringing every last drop out of life, the same zest Rafael brings to running a site and living well. Off the tools, he is happiest out in nature: down the beach, chasing waterfalls, out on a hike, camping, or firing up the BBQ.

Sammy

Supervisor

G’day, meet Sammy. Seventeen years in the trade and still going strong, this fella has well and truly earned his stripes. He cut his teeth doing two years of hard yakka with Dynacoat, criss-crossing Australia knocking over commercial jobs, before pulling up with the We Paint Gold Coast crew coming up nine years ago and grafting his way up to Supervisor. Spraying, roof restoration, new builds, repaints, texturing: you name it, and if it’s got anything to do with painting, Sammy’s your man. On the tools or running the show, he gets the job done properly and doesn’t muck about.

His motto is fair dinkum gold: “you can’t paint without paint.” Simple, cheeky, and true as they come. Born on 5 December, Sammy shares his birthday with Walt Disney, a bloke who started with one little sketch and built the whole lot from the ground up, much like Sammy going from a set of apprentice hands to running the crew. And when the brushes are down? You’ll catch him smacking a few balls round the golf course, putting in the hard yards at the gym, chasing a wave down the beach, or cracking a cold one. Good onya, Sammy.

Dannikah Woods

Operations Manager

Dannikah is the engine room of We Paint Gold Coast. As Operations Manager she oversees the daily run sheet, project coordination, client relations and team management, keeping residential and commercial projects flowing smoothly across South East Queensland. Known for her strong organisational skills, sharp attention to detail and a customer-focused approach, she holds every job to the team’s highest standard, from first quote through to final walk-through.

Her favourite saying, “You can’t climb the ladder of success with your hands in your pockets,” sums up the always-doing, always-moving energy she brings to every project. Born on 4 June, Dannikah shares her birthday with Angelina Jolie, a woman known for juggling motherhood, family and a high-output career with equal dedication, qualities Dannikah lives daily. When not at her desk, Dannikah is happiest outdoors with her kids and family, or shopping up a storm at Pac Fair.
