FAQ’s: Painters Indooroopilly

• What colour paint should I choose? Can you help me choose the right colour for my house?

  Do you need help selecting the right colours for your next interior or exterior project? Your choice of paint colour plays a powerful role in helping you achieve your ideal style and atmosphere for your home. However, with all the paint colours out there, it can feel overwhelming to find a paint colour and finish that both satisfies your personal preferences and complements the design of your home. Wilko Painting is here to help.

  We provide a helpful colour consulting service, where we use our expertise in interior design and with premium Dulux paints to recommend timeless colour schemes that will fulfil your vision and bring your home to life.

  Our colour consultants know how to make your home look stunning and what’s more, they’ll come to visit you. Simply get in touch and we’ll set up a colour consult at a time that suits you.

• How often should I repaint my property?

  Experts typically recommend repainting the exterior of your house every five to ten years. When it comes to repainting the interior of your home, this can vary. If your painter applies a good primer base and uses high-quality paint such as Dulux, you can safely wait five to six years between repainting touch-ups. Unfortunately, a poor quality paint job will require repainting sooner. This is why hiring a professional painter who will deliver the best possible result is a good investment.

• How long will it take to repaint my house?

  The time it takes to repaint your house will depend on the size of your home. To learn the approximate amount of time it will take to paint your specific property, we recommend contacting us for a free no obligation quote.

• How do you ensure that my personal property will be protected from paint?

  We take great pride in the quality of our work, and our Indooroopilly painters will treat your home with respect. We always take the time to prepare your room for painting. We use drop sheets on every job to protect belongings from paint. We also recommend moving your furniture into the centre of the room to allow ease of movement and minimise the risk of damage.

• How do you ensure quality control?

  We’re always researching and updating our knowledge of innovative painting methods to achieve the very best results. You will have a project manager dedicated to your specific painting project for superior quality control.

• How can I maintain my interior paint so it lasts longer?

  To keep your newly painted interior in pristine condition, we recommend checking that your professional painter will:

  • Thoroughly clean and prime the surface before painting
  • Ensure that any damage on the surface area has been fixed
  • Apply the paint at the right amount of thickness, about 4 to 5 millimetres when wet

• Why should I hire a professional painter? Couldn’t I do the paintwork myself?

  While it might be tempting to go the DIY route and attempt to paint your house yourself, we recommend hiring a professional painter for truly immaculate results. Painting takes skill, patience, an understanding of technique and how the specific paint will perform. If you opt for DIY painting, you risk the following:

  • Making costly spills on your rug or carpet
  • Painting onto wood trim or other details that should not be painted
  • Inability to get a clean, straight line between the wall and ceiling

  Ultimately, these mistakes will leave your DIY paint job looking unprofessional. A professional painter knows how to create a flawless result.

• Can you repair cracks and holes in my walls?

  Yes, we make sure your wall’s surface is clean and smooth before we paint. Our thorough preparation process includes the repair of cracks and holes in your plastered walls.

• Do I have to move out of my home while it is being painted?

  Not at all. Our clients often remain in their home throughout the duration of their painting project.

• Where do you offer your house painting service?

  We offer our painting services throughout southeast Queensland, including Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast and the Gold Coast.

• Do you prepare the surfaces for painting?

  Our expert painters will prepare the surface before painting. We will usually wash down the surface, use sugar soap, lightly sand it and if undercoating – prime the surface before we paint it.

  For exterior surfaces,  we will scrape & sand the surface and then fill the gaps them before finally painting it.
