Sunshine Coast Interior house painting

Interior painting. One room, or the whole house.

Walls, trims, ceilings and feature walls. Washable systems that survive kids, tenants and bond cleans. Colour help before you commit to anything.

  • Since 1985
  • /Family-run, locally owned
  • /Fully insured
  • /Dulux + Taubmans accredited
  • /Lead & asbestos qualified

For Sunshine Coast homes that have gone tired inside.

Scuffed hallways. Trims that have yellowed. A ceiling sitting two shades off the one next to it. Or an empty house between owners, which is the easiest version of this job there is.

Empty rooms paint faster and cost less.

No furniture to shift, no living in dust. If the house is empty between settlement and the removalist, or between tenants, tell us. We’ll work to that window and you’ll pay for fewer hours.

How we spec an interior

Three choices that decide how long it lasts.

  • Trims that survive a bond clean

    Semi-gloss on doors, frames and skirtings. It takes a scrub without going flat, which matters in a rental and matters just as much with kids in the house.

  • Washable walls where the traffic is

    Dulux Wash&Wear and Taubmans Endeavour on hallways, stairwells, and anywhere shoulders and school bags land. Low-sheen everywhere the wall stays quiet.

  • Ceilings done properly, once

    Ceilings show every roller mark and every patch. They get their own coat and their own pass, rather than being finished off with what’s left in the wall tin.

How it works

Four steps from quote to furniture back in.

  1. 01

    Quote, often off photos.

    Send room photos and rough sizes and we can usually quote from that. A site visit locks it in. Most quotes come back inside a business day.

  2. 02

    Colour, with sample pots.

    We bring pots and look at the house with you. Morning light, afternoon light, your floors, your furniture. Most people land on three colours: walls, trims, ceilings.

  3. 03

    Cover, prep, paint.

    Floors covered, fittings off, holes filled, cornices cut by hand. A single room takes a day or two. A whole house runs five to ten working days.

  4. 04

    Walkthrough, then we're gone.

    You walk it room by room and point at anything you don’t like. We touch up, clean up, and leave the labelled leftovers with you.

Common questions

What people ask before booking.

  • How much does it cost to repaint a house interior?

    It moves with square metres, ceiling heights and scope. Walls only prices differently to walls plus trims plus ceilings. An empty house paints faster than a furnished one, which keeps the number down. We quote after a site visit.

  • Do you offer colour consultation?

    Yes, included. We bring sample pots, look at the rooms with you in natural light, and talk through your floors and furniture. Most people land on three colours: walls, trims, ceilings.

  • Can you paint one room instead of the whole house?

    Yes. Plenty of our interior work is a single room, a hallway, or just the ceilings. Tell us what’s bothering you and we’ll price that, rather than talking you into the whole house.

  • Can you work around us while we're living there?

    Yes. We plan the rooms in an order that keeps you living comfortably, and we clean up at the end of every day. It’s quicker and cheaper when the house is empty, so if there’s a window where it will be, say so.

  • Which paints do you use inside?

    Dulux Wash&Wear and Taubmans Endeavour on walls, semi-gloss on doors, frames and skirtings, and a proper ceiling paint on ceilings. High-traffic areas get a scuff-resistant system.
