When it comes to updating your aluminium window frames in Merrimac, choosing the right painter can make all the difference. A professional repaint not only modernises your home’s appearance but protects your frames from further wear and damage.

✅ Insurance – It’s There to Protect YOU

Trade insurance isn’t optional — it’s essential. Public liability insurance protects both the homeowner and the contractor in the event that something unexpected happens during a job.

Any legitimate painting company will have current insurance documentation and be willing to show it on request.

RepaintPro is fully insured, so you never have to worry.

✅ Experience – Real-World Knowledge Matters

We’ve seen aluminium window painting advertised to people with no painting experience. That means someone could show up to paint your home with only a few days of training.

We’ve been painting for over 100 years as a family trade, and more than 30 of those years have been spent spray painting aluminium.

We know:

How aluminium surfaces behave

How powder-coating needs to be prepped

What weather conditions matter

How many top coats are needed for durability

How to avoid overspray or paint build-up


That kind of experience isn’t something you can teach in a short course — it comes from thousands of jobs across homes like yours in Merrimac.

✅ Licensing – Don’t Settle for Less

In Queensland, any residential painting work worth more than $3,300 must be completed by someone holding a QBCC licence. That includes aluminium window painting.

Be wary of contractors who:

Split jobs into two smaller quotes to stay under the limit

Quote using someone else’s licence number

Can’t show their actual QBCC licence


RepaintPro is fully licensed and insured — and we proudly list our licence number on all official quoting documents. We don’t hide behind another company’s paperwork.

✅ Proof of Previous Works

We don’t just ask you to trust us — we show you what we’ve done.

Unlike businesses that rely on stock images or generic reviews, we document our jobs in detail:

Prep and masking

Priming and spraying

Final coat close-ups

Tape removal

Finish quality walkthroughs


We post these regularly across:

Facebook

Instagram

YouTube


We never share our client addresses — your privacy is respected. But we do provide an honest, visual record of what you can expect.


—

✅ Aluminium-Specific Knowledge

Painting aluminium is a specialist task — not something every painter can do well.

A typical house painter may:

Skip sanding and degreasing

Use water-based wall paint

Miss the required film build

Spray without proper masking


We’ve developed a complete aluminium system that includes:

Full degreasing and sanding

Priming with products designed for non-ferrous metals

Multiple coats of topcoat for long-lasting finish

Taping techniques that avoid paint creeping under the edges


Your Merrimac home deserves more than a quick respray. It deserves a professional finish built to last.

✅ A Proper Business, Not Just a Bloke With a Ute

Here’s how to tell if you’re dealing with a professional:

A real website (not just a Facebook page)

A registered ABN and QBCC licence

Active social media accounts

Uniformed team members

Quotes that include materials, GST, and project scope

Sign-written vans

Reliable contact details


RepaintPro ticks every one of these boxes.

You won’t find us disappearing halfway through a job or ignoring your calls. We’re a fully registered Gold Coast business, and we’ve been around for decades.


—

✅ Consistency of Results

Any painter can show you one good job. But what about consistency?

Can they show the same neat lines, even finish, clean cut-in work, and smooth coats across:

Sliding windows

Colonial bars

Security screens

Garage doors

Louvres?


We can — and we do. Scroll our socials or website gallery and you’ll see jobs in Merrimac and beyond that look just as clean as our marketing claims.


—

✅ Transparent Communication

We make it easy to get in touch:

Call or text Steve directly on 0403 311 125

Use our online dashboard to upload photos for a quote

Message us through Facebook or Instagram


We guide you through the quote, the process, the expected outcomes, and timing. And we stay in contact throughout the job.


—

✅ We Understand Merrimac Homes

From older townhouses to modern duplexes, Merrimac has a wide mix of properties — and each one needs tailored attention.

We’ve worked on everything from:

90s-era rendered homes with bronze windows

Townhouses with cream sliding frames

Large family homes with federation bars


We know what finish suits what home — and we can help guide your colour choice to get the look you want, whether it’s Monument, white, satin black, or something else entirely.


—

✅ Ready to Get a Quote?

Here’s what we need to quote your Merrimac aluminium window repaint:

1. Clear photos of each window or door


2. Info on whether screens are staying or being removed


3. Your preferred colour


4. Your location



Once we receive that, we’ll send back a detailed quote with GST and materials included. No itemised pricing, no hidden fees.
