What should you expect from residential painters on the Gold Coast?

More than a quick coat of paint. A repaint that lasts starts with proper preparation, the right products for the coastal climate, and a crew that respects your home and keeps you informed. The painter who gets all of that right, and quotes the job honestly, is the one worth having in your home.

A rushed prep job, a salesperson who quotes instead of the painter, or a crew that leaves dust and mess through the house can turn a repaint into a headache, and often a costly redo. We built We Paint Gold Coast to take that worry away: the director quotes every job, one qualified in-house team does the work, your home is protected and tidied, and we talk you through it the whole way. Here is who we paint for, and what matters most to each.

Renovations & Full Repaints

Updating a tired interior or repainting the whole house? We work room by room or whole-home, around your routine, with patient colour selection and a finish that lifts the entire place. Our sweet spot is a full room or larger, through to complete home repaints.

New Builds

Just built or nearly there? We work in around your builder’s timeline for a crisp, even finish across new walls, ceilings, trims and doors, prepped and applied properly so your brand new home looks the part from day one.

Refresh & Pre-Sale

Getting a home ready to sell or re-let? A clean, neutral repaint through the key areas makes a home show beautifully. We work to agent and owner timeframes so it looks its best, inside and out.

Sensitive Households

Babies, pets, asthma or chemical sensitivities at home? We use water-based paints you can live with the same day, with low VOC options available, so your household stays comfortable while we work.

Everything our residential painting service covers

Residential painting on the Gold Coast covers the preparation, painting and protection of your home, inside and out, whether you are renovating, building new or simply refreshing the place. Whatever the project, the same qualified crew, premium coatings and prep-led approach apply. Here is what we cover.

Trent quotes and guides every job personally

There is no commission-driven salesperson here. Trent, the director, visits your home, talks through the scope and gives you an honest, itemised quote. He also helps with colour, bringing sample pots and swatches and taking the time to get it right, because the colour has to work with your light, your floors and the rooms around it.

Your home treated with care, start to finish

We move your furniture and drop sheet everything, using plastic or canvas sheets depending on the wind that day, so your belongings and floors stay protected. You only need to put away personal items like clothing. We keep the site tidy as we go, clean up at the end, and let you know the moment anything needs a decision.

Preparation done properly, every time

Preparation is where a lasting finish is won or lost. We will not paint over mud wasps, bird droppings, contamination or a failing previous job. Surfaces are washed, sanded back where needed, filled and primed before any top coat, using dust-free sanding with vacuum extraction, so the finish holds up in coastal Queensland conditions.

Premium coatings matched to the coast

We use premium systems from Wattyl, Dulux and Resene, matched to each surface and its exposure. For exteriors facing salt air, humidity and UV, we use proven systems such as Dulux Weathershield and Wattyl Solagard, which carry a 20 year manufacturer product warranty when applied correctly. Inside, we apply a primer sealer undercoat followed by quality top coats such as Dulux Wash & Wear or Wattyl ID.

Interior and exterior house painting under one roof

Whether you need a single space refreshed or the whole house done inside and out, the same in-house crew handles it. That means one team to deal with, one standard of prep and finish, and no juggling separate painters for the inside and the outside of your home.

Walls, ceilings, doors, trims, cabinets and feature walls, finished cleanly with same-day occupancy water-based paints and low VOC options. We move and protect your furniture and leave each room tidy. See our Interior Painting page for the full scope.

Render, weatherboard, brick, fibre cement, eaves, fascias, gutters, garage doors, decks and fences, prepped and coated for Gold Coast salt air, humidity and UV. We also take on the occasional Queenslander or heritage home. See our Exterior Painting page for the full scope.

How a home repaint runs with us

Working with us is easy and refreshingly low-stress, and you are kept in the loop the whole way. Here is how a typical home repaint runs from first call to the final walkthrough.

/ 01

In-home quote with Trent.

The director visits your home, looks over the scope and surfaces, and gives you an honest, itemised quote with no high pressure.

/ 02

Colour consultation.

Trent helps you choose, with sample pots and swatches, and takes the time to land on colours that work with your light and your home.

/ 03

Furniture moved and home protected.

We move your furniture and drop sheet floors and fixtures so everything stays protected while we work.

/ 04

Thorough preparation.

Surfaces are washed, sanded, filled and primed. We never paint over mud wasps, bird droppings or contamination to save time.

/ 05

Quality application.

Our in-house crew applies two coats of premium paint, with the same leading hands in your home from start to finish.

/ 06

We keep you in the loop.

We reach out the moment a decision or issue comes up, rather than letting it surface at the end.

/ 07

Walkthrough and handover.

We walk the finished job with you, tidy up, and can set up an aftercare and maintenance plan to keep it looking its best.

What shapes the cost of a house repaint

Every home is priced on its own, because no two repaints are the same. The cost comes down to the size of the home, the condition and type of surfaces, how much prep and patching is needed, access for double-storey work, and the number of coats your colours require.
Trent quotes every job on-site so the number reflects your home, not a rough guess, and you get a clear, itemised quote with no hidden costs and no high pressure. The cheapest quote is rarely the cheapest job once rushed prep starts failing, so our pricing reflects the prep, premium paint and in-house crew that make the finish last.

These are starting guides only. For full pricing across homes and rooms, see our pricing page, and for a firm number the most accurate figure always comes from an in-home quote with Trent.

Residential Painting FAQs

There is no fixed rate, because the cost depends on the size of your home, the surfaces and their condition, and how much prep is involved. As a guide, an interior repaint for a 3 bed home starts from around $5,500 and a single-storey exterior from around $8,000. See our pricing page for more, or book an in-home quote with Trent for an exact figure.

A 3 bedroom interior usually takes about 5 days, and a 4 bedroom interior runs 5 to 7 days with two painters. Timing varies with the amount of patching and prep required, and exteriors depend on the surfaces, access and weather. Trent gives you a clear timeframe with your quote.

Yes, and usually the same day. Our water-based paints are safe to be around the same day, including for babies, pregnancy, asthma sufferers, dogs, cats and birds, with low VOC options for households that are especially sensitive. We will let you know if a particular product needs a little longer before the room is back in use.
Two coats is our standard, over properly prepared and primed surfaces. Very dark or strong feature colours can need an extra coat for full, even coverage, and we will flag that in your quote so there are no surprises.
You do not need to be home, and we move the furniture for you. We drop sheet everything so it stays protected, and you only need to put away personal belongings like clothing. The home is kept tidy throughout and cleaned up at the end.
Yes. We Paint Gold Coast is fully QBCC licensed and NSW Fair Trading licensed, and carries $20M public liability insurance, so your home and household are covered while we work. Our QBCC licence number is 15040055, and our NSW Fair Trading contractor licence number is 169899C.
No. Every job is completed by our own qualified, employed painters, with the same leading hands in your home from start to finish. An in-house team means consistent quality, clear accountability and people who genuinely care about the result.

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.

Trent Delaney

Director
Trent is the heart and the hands of the business. Qualified at 19 and now sitting on more than 24 years in the trade, he brings family painting heritage, a decade of running his own company down in Wagga, and a genuine love of teaching the team his tricks.
