When it comes to painting a house during a home renovations project, one of the first questions that a homeowner will most likely contemplate is “how much is a house painter going to charge?” – which is a fair question. However, in Queensland, it is not the simplest of questions to answer as not all houses are the same and not all houses are in the same condition.
In Brisbane in particular, we have a diverse range of houses ranging from brick veneer homes, timber post-war homes and, of course, old Queenslanders. All of these houses have their own factors to consider that will also contribute to the final price
So, what factors will a house painter consider?
Before a professional house painter can give an accurate quote, they will want to visit the home to measure, inspect its condition, establish how much preparation is required and see how much access they will have. They will also ask the homeowner questions relating to the house painting renovations, such as:
- The purpose of the painting
- When was the house painted last
- The home renovations time frame
- What house colour the client wants
- What the budget is
Factors of painting a house made from timber
The exterior of a traditional house in Brisbane is usually made from timber and most likely considered a Queenslander or a Post-War style. These houses are known for featuring timber exterior walls, decks, handrails, stairs and is most likely on stumps and is two-storeys.
For those people planning Queenslander renovations, it is common that the exterior surfaces of their homes have faded due to the harsh Queensland sun and weather. Commonly, homes that were built pre-1990 that have not been recently renovated will most likely have paint that is peeling and flaking.
Factors to consider with a brick house painting project
A painted brick house can be beneficial, but it should also be a project that comes with important considerations. After all, a painted brick house is permanent and a professional house painter knows this. So, the chosen house colour needs to suit and the house paint needs to be high quality. To ensure a successful and long-lasting result, high-quality masonry paint and primer should be selected.
For brick house painting projects, a professional house painter is a necessity, as they will know how to properly prepare a brick house and what paint to use. Professional painters know exactly which tools and materials to use so that your brick is adequately repaired, cleaned, dried, prepped, and painted to the highest of standards.
