Not all painters are created equal—and when you’re investing in your home or business, the last thing you want is a patchy job or unreliable tradies. At Compaint, we’ve seen it all, and we know what separates an average paint job from a professional finish. Here’s what to keep in mind when choosing painting services in Brisbane.
Understand What You Need
Before jumping into quotes, take a step back. Are you painting a single room or the entire house? Is it a retail space, a new office, or a high-traffic warehouse? Whether you’re after a quick refresh or a full transformation, knowing your scope helps you find the right team—especially if you need skilled commercial painters who understand timelines, safety, and durability.
Don’t Skip the Research
A slick website is one thing, but real experience is another. Look for local painters with strong reviews, a visible track record, and real before-and-after projects. Make sure they’re fully licensed and insured—this isn’t just a box to tick, it protects your property and peace of mind.
Get a Quote—But Read Between the Lines
We always recommend comparing at least two or three quotes. But don’t just look at the number. Ask what’s included: preparation, materials, clean-up, and whether they back their work with a warranty. A quote that seems too good to be true usually is.

Communication Matters
You can usually tell early on whether a painter is going to be easy to work with. Are they responsive? Do they explain things clearly? The way a business handles the small stuff says a lot about how they’ll handle your project.
Trust Your Gut
The best results come from a team you trust. Look for professionalism, experience, and someone who treats your space like it’s their own.
