Checklist for Your Aluminium Window Painter – Nerang

Choosing someone to paint your aluminium windows isn’t just about getting a quote — it’s about protecting your home, making sure the finish lasts, and ensuring you’re dealing with a professional.

If you’re located in Nerang or surrounding suburbs like Highland Park, Carrara, Ashmore, or Molendinar, this guide will help you avoid the common traps and choose a qualified painter who specialises in aluminium frame spraying.

Let’s break it down — here’s your ultimate checklist:


—

✅ Insurance – It’s There to Protect YOU

Even with all the care in the world, unexpected things can happen. That’s why any tradesperson working on your home must carry current trade insurance.

Public liability insurance protects your property in case of accidental damage or injury — and it’s not optional. Any real professional will provide proof of insurance without hesitation.

At RepaintPro, we’re fully insured and committed to doing things the right way, every time.


—

✅ Experience – Avoid Rookies in Disguise

We’ve seen advertisements looking for franchisees to become aluminium window painters — “No experience required.”

That means someone with no painting background, no trade skills, and no understanding of surface preparation could end up spraying your home after a crash course.

At RepaintPro, we bring over 100 years of family trade experience, with more than 30 years specialising in spray painting.

From federation-style frames to sliders, louvres, and colonial designs, we’ve worked on every type of window under the Queensland sun. And we know what it takes to do the job properly.


—

✅ QBCC Licensing – It’s the Law in Queensland

Any job over $3,300 in value must legally be completed by a QBCC-licensed contractor.

Don’t be fooled by painters who try to split quotes into smaller amounts to avoid this. If something goes wrong, and the person working on your home isn’t licensed — you’re the one left holding the bag.

Worse still, some painters use someone else’s licence number on quotes. If the name on the licence doesn’t match the person you’re paying, that’s licence sharing — and it’s illegal.

We’re licensed, insured, and our QBCC licence number is listed clearly on every piece of quoting material. No cutting corners. No grey areas.

✅ Proof of Previous Work – Visual Evidence is Key

Online reviews are helpful, but they’re not the full story — and in some cases, they’re not even real.

The best proof of workmanship is seeing photos and videos of actual jobs, especially jobs similar to your own.

We document:

Taping and masking

Sanding and surface prep

Spray passes

Before and after shots

Up-close finish details


You can see these across our social media:

Facebook

Instagram

YouTube


We don’t hand out client addresses, but we make sure you can see the process and results on dozens of real homes around Nerang and the Gold Coast.

✅ Product Knowledge – It’s More Than Just Paint

Aluminium isn’t like plasterboard or timber — and it can’t be treated the same way.

We’ve seen painters apply house paint straight to aluminium, skip the primer, or use the wrong gear entirely. The result? Peeling, flaking, bubbling, and wasted money.

We use a purpose-built system that includes:

1. Degreasing and sanding the frames


2. Application of a high-adhesion aluminium primer


3. Multiple coats of premium spray finish


4. Attention to film build (measured in microns) for durability



This is not a DIY job. We don’t cut corners — we tailor our approach to the material and environment, especially important in suburbs like Nerang where heat, humidity, and bushland conditions vary street to street.


—

✅ Business Credentials – Look Beyond the Ute

A proper aluminium window painting business should look and behave like a real business.

Here’s what to look for:

Branded vehicles

Staff in uniforms

Registered ABN

Quotes with licence details

Active social pages and a website

A track record of jobs


At RepaintPro, we operate with full visibility and professionalism. You know who you’re dealing with from start to finish.

We don’t operate from the shadows — our work, team, and results are on full display.


—

✅ Consistency – Not Just One Good Job

It’s easy to cherry-pick one decent photo for an ad. But consistent quality? That takes skill, care, and process.

We’ve completed countless jobs across Nerang and surrounds — and we’ll happily show you the results. Whether it’s a small home with a few sliders or a full house with 2-storey access and colonial bars, our taping, spraying, and finish remain consistent.

We don’t rush. We don’t guess. And we don’t use shortcuts.


—
