Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to some of our most common customer questions.

Can you work outside of our business hours?

Absolutely. We specialise in creating flexible work schedules, including nights, weekends, and holidays, to ensure our work causes minimal disruption to your daily operations.

Are you insured and licensed for commercial sites?

Yes. We hold comprehensive public liability insurance and all necessary licenses to operate on any commercial worksite in NSW. Safety and compliance are our top priorities.

What types of surfaces can you paint?

Our expertise covers a vast range of commercial surfaces, including concrete tilt panels, structural steel, office plasterboard, exterior cladding, epoxy floors, and more.

How do you manage large or complex projects?

Every project is managed by an experienced team leader who serves as your single point of contact, ensuring the project stays on schedule, on budget, and meets all quality standards.

How long does a typical house painting job take?

It depends on the size and scope of the project. A single room may take a day, while a full home repaint could take a week or more. We provide a clear, detailed timeline as part of our formal quote.

Do I need to move furniture before you arrive?

We appreciate it if small, personal items are cleared ahead of time. Our professional team will handle the shifting and complete protection of all larger furniture and flooring.

What paint brands do you use?

We exclusively use premium-grade paints from trusted brands like Dulux and Taubmans. If you have a specific brand preference, we are happy to accommodate it.

Can you help with colour selection?

Absolutely. With over 20 years of experience, we can provide expert guidance on colour palettes that suit your space, lighting, and personal style. We can also provide samples to help you decide with confidence.

Is your work guaranteed?

Yes. We are a fully licensed and insured business, and we stand by the quality of our work with a comprehensive workmanship guarantee. All products come with a manufacturers warranty. Your complete satisfaction is our priority. All workmanship is guaranteed and conforms to Aus/NZ standards.

How do you price your painting services?

We believe in transparent pricing. Every project is unique, so we provide a comprehensive, fixed-price quote after an on-site consultation. The cost is based on the size of the area, the extent of preparation required to achieve a flawless finish, and the specific premium materials selected. Our goal is to provide a detailed proposal with no hidden costs.

How do you prepare the surfaces before painting?

Preparation is key. Our standard process includes high-pressure washing, removal of loose paint, sanding, filling cracks, and applying the appropriate primer for the surface.

What happens if it rains during the project?

We constantly monitor the weather forecast. We will not paint in unsuitable conditions and will pause work, securing the site, until conditions are appropriate to ensure a quality finish.

Are you licensed to work at heights?

Yes. Our team is fully licensed and certified for high-risk work, including the use of scaffolding, scissor lifts, and other elevated work platforms (EWPs).

How long should an exterior paint job last?

With our meticulous preparation and the use of premium Dulux Weathershield paints, you can expect a professionally applied exterior finish to last for 10-15 years.

How durable is commercial epoxy flooring?

Epoxy flooring is exceptionally durable and designed for high-traffic and heavy-duty environments. In Sydney warehouses, factories, and gyms, it typically lasts 10–15 years with minimal maintenance.

How long does the installation process take?

The total time is usually 2–3 days, depending on floor size and condition. This includes grinding and surface preparation, priming, and applying multiple epoxy coats. We schedule work flexibly to minimise disruption to your business operations.

Is epoxy flooring slippery?

Gloss epoxy floors can be slippery when wet, but we recommend adding slip-resistant additives. This creates a textured, non-slip finish that meets safety standards and provides excellent traction in high-moisture areas.

How do I maintain the epoxy floor?

Epoxy floors are seamless and non-porous, making them very easy to clean. Regular sweeping and occasional mopping with a neutral cleaner will keep your floor looking like new. No special treatments are required.
