Painting services across Cairns

Homes, resorts, shopfronts, roofs, driveways and decks. Whatever the surface, the same rule applies: prepare it properly, use a system built for the tropics, and finish it clean.

Residential Painting

Pete's team paints houses right across Cairns — a single room, a full interior, or the whole outside of the house. Most of our work is repaints on homes that have copped a decade of sun, rain and salt air, so we spend as much time on preparation as we do with a brush in hand.

  • Full site protection — drop sheets, masking and covered floors
  • Pressure clean or sugar soap wash of all surfaces
  • Scraping, sanding, filling and caulking where needed
  • Spot priming or full prime coats on bare and repaired areas

Commercial Painting

We've been painting commercial buildings around Cairns and the Far North for over a decade — hotels, apartment towers, hostels, shopping centres, schools and council buildings. We have our own scaffolding, a large team, and the experience to run a staged job on an occupied site without shutting your business down.

  • Site-specific SWMS, inductions and traffic or pedestrian management
  • In-house scaffolding, EWP and rope access where required
  • High-pressure cleaning and full substrate assessment
  • Crack repair, membrane patching and sealant replacement

Roof Painting & Spraying

A roof is the biggest surface on your property and the one taking the worst of the weather. Once the coating goes, you get chalking, rust at the fixings, and lichen holding moisture against the sheets.

  • Safety setup — harness points, edge protection and ground exclusion zones
  • High-pressure clean to strip lichen, dirt and loose coating
  • Replacement of perished screws and seals, and minor rust treatment
  • Repointing and bedding checks on tiled roofs where needed

Driveway Painting

Your driveway is the first thing anyone sees, and in Cairns it takes a hiding — oil, mould, tyre marks and years of sun. A properly prepared and coated driveway looks sharp again and shrugs off the weather.

  • High-pressure clean and degreasing of the whole slab
  • Acid etch or mechanical grind so the coating can bite into the concrete
  • Crack filling, chip repair and edge tidy-up
  • Concrete-specific primer or sealer

Deck Painting & Restoration

Timber decks in Cairns get punished. Six months of sun bleaches them grey, then the wet season lifts the grain and lets mould in. A deck that looks past it is usually just neglected, not finished.

  • Clear the deck and protect walls, glazing and gardens
  • Deck wash and mould treatment
  • Sanding back to sound, clean timber
  • Renailing or re-screwing loose boards and replacing rotten ones
