If you’re located in Merrimac and considering repainting your aluminium window frames, this guide will walk you through exactly what to look for in a reliable, experienced, and fully licensed painting company. Whether you’re near the M1, tucked in one of Merrimac’s residential estates, or bordering Carrara, Robina, or Worongary, this checklist will ensure you’re choosing a company that knows what they’re doing.

✅ Insurance – It Protects Your Home

No matter how skilled a tradesperson is, things can go wrong — and that’s where public liability insurance comes in. It’s not just a box to tick; it protects you if there’s any kind of issue on site during your aluminium window painting project.

At RepaintPro, we carry full insurance and have all the documentation ready for your peace of mind.

✅ Experience – Because Aluminium Isn’t Like Timber

Painting aluminium windows isn’t something just anyone can do — or at least, not properly.

Some companies recruit painters with zero background, promising “no experience required” for franchisees. That means someone who’s never touched a spray gun could be experimenting on your home.

We’re different. RepaintPro has over 100 years of family painting experience, and more than 30 years specifically focused on spray painting aluminium windows and doors across the Gold Coast.

We know what works — and what doesn’t — for homes in Merrimac’s climate and building styles.

✅ Licensing – It’s the Law

In Queensland, any residential painting job valued over $3,300 requires a valid QBCC licence.

Some painters try to avoid this by issuing multiple smaller invoices — but it’s not legal, and it puts you at risk.

Worse still, some painters use someone else’s licence — a big red flag.

RepaintPro is:

QBCC licensed

Fully insured

The same team quoting and completing the work


We don’t play games with licensing — and you shouldn’t let anyone else do it either.

✅ Proof of Work – Don’t Rely on Words Alone

Reviews can be bought. Photos can be stolen. But videos of real jobs in progress? That’s harder to fake.

At RepaintPro, we take pride in documenting our work:

From masking and prep…

To spraying and clean-up…

To final results up close


You can see our real work on:

Instagram

Facebook

YouTube


We respect our clients’ privacy and never share addresses — but our growing video archive speaks for itself.

✅ Technical Know-How – The Right Products Matter

Painting aluminium requires:

Proper degreasing and sanding

Primers built for non-ferrous metal

Durable spray finishes

Correct film thicknesses (microns)


This isn’t basic wall painting. It’s a specialised process, and many painters skip steps or use the wrong materials.

We’ve seen windows bubbling or flaking within a year from poor prep.

RepaintPro applies a proven system that works on aluminium — and we adapt it for Merrimac’s heat and sun exposure to ensure it lasts.

✅ A Real Business – With Real Accountability

Fly-by-night painters might offer a cheap quote from a mobile number… but then disappear when something goes wrong.

Here’s what to look for:

A real website

ABN registration

QBCC number clearly displayed

A sign-written vehicle

Professional uniforms

Active social media with examples


RepaintPro ticks all the boxes — because we’re not hiding behind anything.


—

✅ Quality and Consistency

It’s easy to post one good photo.

But when you look across all our jobs — from colonial bars to modern sliders, white to black, satin to gloss — the quality holds up.

Why? Because we:

Mask and tape with precision

Clean thoroughly

Spray with experience

Apply the correct film build every time


If a painter can’t show you consistent results across dozens of jobs, keep looking.


—

✅ Responsiveness

How hard is it to get a response?

We’ve heard from too many clients who couldn’t even get a quote from other painters — or had to chase for weeks just to get booked in.

At RepaintPro, we:

Reply to messages

Take your calls or return them quickly

Provide clear quotes

Keep you in the loop before and during the job


You can call or text Steve directly on 0403 311 125, or use our image upload quoting tool online for fast, accurate responses.

We’ve worked in and around Merrimac and neighbouring suburbs including:

Worongary

Carrara

Robina

We understand how the coastal humidity, direct sun, and older-style homes in these areas affect aluminium window coatings — and we tailor our process accordingly.


—

✅ How to Get Started

If you’d like a quote, here’s what we need:

1. Photos of your windows or doors


2. Whether screens will stay on or be removed


3. The colour you want them painted


4. Your suburb (Merrimac or surrounds)



We’ll give you a total project price including:

All prep

Primer and spray coats

Materials and GST

Two-storey access if required


No hidden fees. No itemised confusion. Just a simple quote and a clean, lasting finish.
