Pete's Painting Solutions · Cairns & Far North Queensland
Cairns painters who take pride in the finish
From a single room in Redlynch to the outside of the Pullman Reef Hotel Casino — same crew, same preparation, same straight answers. Painting the Far North since 2015.
Local painters. Serious about the finish.
Pete's Painting Solutions has been painting the Far North since 2015. We're based at Kewarra Beach — not a call centre in another state.
No franchise scripts and no subcontracted mystery crews. Every job runs the same way: prepare it right, coat it twice, check it with you.

The jobs behind the reputation
We don't use stock photos of someone else's house. Every project on this site is one of ours.
Why Pete's
Local, licensed and still answering the phone
Rated among Cairns' top painters four years running, with reviews from Cairns homeowners and businesses.
Preparation is two-thirds of the job
Washing, scraping, sanding, filling and priming is what makes a paint job last in this climate. It's the first thing cheap quotes cut.
Big enough for a resort, small enough to care
We run our own scaffolding and a full team, but you still deal with the same people from the quote to the final walkthrough.
Taubmans accredited applicators
Direct access to product, technical support and colour advice, and ultra-premium products chosen for tropical exposure.
Straight answers
If your roof needs sheets replaced before paint, we'll say so. If a job isn't worth doing yet, we'll tell you that too.
