Checklist for Your Aluminium Window Painter – Burleigh Waters

When you’re getting ready to paint aluminium window frames in Burleigh Waters, it’s not just about the colour — it’s about who you trust to do the job right. There are a lot of choices out there, but not all painters are equal. This checklist is designed to help you choose the right aluminium window painter with confidence.


—

✅ Insurance – It’s There to Protect YOU

Even with the most experienced hands, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan. That’s why trade insurance is essential.

A professional aluminium window painter should carry public liability insurance to protect your home, your family, and their team. If a painter doesn’t have insurance — that’s a risk you simply shouldn’t take.

Always ask to see their policy. A reputable business will have no problem providing it.


—

✅ Experience

This one really matters. We’ve seen businesses advertising for new aluminium window painting franchisees with the phrase:

> “No experience required!”



Think about that.

You could be hiring someone who’s never picked up a spray gun before — just a few days out of training and already working on your home.

At RepaintPro, we’re the opposite. We’re a fourth-generation painting family with more than 100 years of trade experience. And we’ve been doing on-site aluminium spray painting for over 30 years.

That experience matters when it comes to:

Masking and taping

Surface prep

Spraying in variable conditions

Ensuring the correct film thickness

Getting clean, consistent finishes that last


We don’t just know how to paint — we know how to make aluminium look new again.

✅ QBCC Licensing

In Queensland, the Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC) requires painters to be licensed for any job over $3,300.

This applies to most full-house aluminium window painting projects.

Some painters try to get around this rule by splitting the quote into separate invoices — but that’s illegal. Others borrow someone else’s licence — which also puts you at risk if there’s ever a warranty or insurance issue.

At RepaintPro:

We’re fully QBCC licensed

Our licence number is on our website and quotes

We don’t subcontract unlicensed painters


Always check who you’re really hiring — and make sure the licence matches the actual person or company doing the job.


—

✅ Proof of Previous Work

Online reviews are helpful, but they’re not always real. That’s why visual proof is so important.

At RepaintPro, we document our work before, during, and after — and we share it across:

Facebook

Instagram

YouTube


You’ll see how we:

Mask off areas with green tape

Sand and clean aluminium frames

Apply primers and top coats

Remove masking to reveal sharp, factory-style edges


We don’t share our customers’ private addresses for security reasons — but you can always see real footage of our process and our results.


—

✅ Aluminium-Specific Painting Knowledge

Painting aluminium is nothing like painting timber or gyprock. If it’s not done right, the paint won’t stick — or worse, it might look good at first and then peel within a year.

Ask your painter:

What do you use to clean aluminium before spraying?

Do you sand or scuff the surface?

What type of primer do you use?

How many finish coats do you apply?


If they’re vague — or say something like “we just give it a quick wipe and spray,” that’s not good enough.

We use a system built specifically for aluminium:

Clean with wax and grease remover

Sand thoroughly for mechanical adhesion

Apply a purpose-made primer

Spray 2–4 coats of premium finish for durability and colour depth


This is the same process we use across Burleigh Waters homes — and we know it works.


—

✅ Helping You Choose the Right Colour

If you’re renovating, adding an extension, or just updating an older home, picking the right window frame colour makes a massive difference.

RepaintPro can help you:

Match existing windows if only part of your home is being updated

Unify old and new frames in a colour that suits your home style

Choose from finishes like Pearl White, Monument, Black, or even metallic tones


We can even show you photos and videos of homes around Burleigh Waters with similar finishes to help you decide.


—

✅ Real Business, Not a Ute and a Logo

Before you book a painter, do a little digging. Are they running a real business, or just taking cash jobs on the side?

Look for:

A website

Social media pages with actual photos of their work

Branded vehicles

Uniforms

ABN and QBCC licence on their quotes


RepaintPro is the real deal:

Fully registered

QBCC licensed

Decades of experience

Professional digital quoting system

Clear communication


We’ve built our reputation on quality, consistency, and trust.

✅ Consistency Across Homes and Styles

Burleigh Waters is full of different home styles — from 80s brick homes to waterfront villas and modern renovations.

Some have colonial-style windows, others are frameless, and many have louvres, stackers, or bay windows.

We know how to handle every type:

Colonial bars

French doors

Bay and corner windows

Sliding doors

Pool fencing and garage doors (if required)


Look through our gallery and videos — you’ll see the consistency in our work across all kinds of homes.


—

✅ We’re Not Here to Sell You Anything

Let’s be honest — nobody likes a pushy tradesman trying to upsell.

That’s not us.

> We’re not here to sell you anything.
But we are here to solve the problem of what to do with those ugly windows that don’t match anything anymore.



That’s what we do — day in, day out — and we’re proud of it.
