Do you paint exteriors across Brisbane?
Yes. Mahy Painter handles exterior painting throughout Brisbane and the surrounding suburbs from our base in Ashgrove. We work on weatherboard, render, brick and fibre-cement homes as well as commercial buildings. Tell us your suburb and the type of property when you get in touch and we will arrange a time to inspect the exterior and provide a free, no-obligation quote.
How is an exterior painting job priced?
We quote exterior work after inspecting the property, so the figure reflects the real condition of the surfaces. Pricing depends on the size of the home, the number of storeys, surface preparation such as scraping and filling, and whether eaves, gutters, doors and fences are included. You receive a clear written quote that we guarantee not to exceed, with no surprise costs once the job is underway.
How long does exterior paint last in the Brisbane climate?
A properly prepared and painted exterior should look good and protect your home for many years, even with Brisbane's sun, storms and humidity. The key is preparation — cleaning, scraping back flaking areas, priming and using quality coatings rated for the conditions. We do not cut corners on prep, because that is what determines how long the finish lasts. All of our work is also backed by a 10-year workmanship guarantee.
Can you paint in summer or the wet season?
Exterior painting is weather dependent, so we plan around rain and extreme heat to get the best result. We monitor conditions and schedule coats when surfaces are dry and temperatures are suitable for the paint to cure properly. If weather causes a short delay, we will keep you informed. Booking ahead helps us secure a good run of days for your project.
Do you also paint roofs, eaves and gutters?
Yes. Many customers have us paint the whole exterior package — walls, eaves, fascias, gutters, doors and trim — so the finish is consistent. We also offer dedicated roof painting and roof restoration, which pairs well with an exterior repaint to completely transform the look of a home. Let us know what you would like included and we will quote it all together.
What preparation is involved before painting?
Good exterior painting is mostly preparation. We pressure clean surfaces, scrape and sand back any flaking or peeling paint, fill cracks and gaps, treat problem areas and prime where needed before topcoats go on. This is the part that protects your home and makes the finish last. We will walk you through what your property needs when we provide your quote.
