Checklist for Your Aluminium Window Painter – Southport



Choosing the right aluminium window painter in Southport isn’t just about price — it’s about trust, skill, and experience. This checklist will help you know exactly what to look for when hiring someone to spray paint your window frames, doors, or aluminium features in the heart of the Gold Coast.




✅ Insurance – No Compromises

Always start with the basics — is your painter insured?

Public liability insurance is designed to protect you, your property, and anyone on-site during the job. It’s essential, not optional.

At RepaintPro, we carry full trade insurance and can provide documentation upon request. Never risk your home with a painter who doesn’t have this in place.




✅ Real Experience – Not Just a Side Hustle

We’ve seen it far too often: companies hiring “trainees” or “franchisees” with no experience required. That means someone could be learning to spray paint for the first time… on your home.

At RepaintPro, we’re a fourth-generation painting company with over 100 years of family experience, and more than 30 years specifically in spray painting.

Our team has completed hundreds of aluminium window jobs across the Gold Coast — including homes and commercial buildings right here in Southport.




✅ QBCC Licensing – It’s the Law

Under Queensland law, any painting project over $3,300 must be carried out by a QBCC-licensed contractor.

Some painters try to work around this by splitting jobs into smaller quotes. That’s illegal and leaves you exposed.

We’ve also seen licence sharing — someone quoting a job under someone else’s business name or licence. This is also illegal, and if something goes wrong, you have no legal protection.

RepaintPro is fully licensed and compliant. Our QBCC licence number is on every job, every quote, and our website.




✅ Visual Proof of Completed Work

Don’t settle for vague reviews or a few pretty Instagram pics.

Ask to see actual before-and-after photos, videos, and proof of results. At RepaintPro, we regularly share high-quality content showing our prep work, spraying process, and tape removal — so you can see exactly what we do.

We don’t use stock images. We don’t show off someone else’s job. Every image and video is from our real projects, including homes right here in Southport, Labrador, and Main Beach.




✅ Proper Preparation and Product Knowledge

The biggest mistake painters make with aluminium is assuming they can treat it like any other surface. They can’t.

Aluminium must be treated correctly:

Full degreasing

Sanding and mechanical abrasion

Specialised metal primers

Controlled spraying conditions

Measured film build with 2–4 top coats


We’ve seen too many failed jobs in Southport from painters using standard wall paint or skipping the primer step altogether. The paint peels off in less than a year.

RepaintPro follows a proven process that lasts — backed by a 6-year workmanship warranty (supported by the QBCC).




✅ Consistent Finish Across Every Window

Every window is different — especially in Southport where there’s a mix of new apartments, heritage homes, and coastal properties.

We’ve worked on:

Colonial and French-style windows

Sliding doors

Louvres

Security screens

Garage doors

Commercial aluminium shopfronts


And across all of them, our results are consistent — smooth finish, correct sheen level, and long-lasting adhesion.

Don’t just compare “nice-looking” photos — compare how consistent a painter’s results are across multiple jobs and surface types.




✅ Easy Digital Quoting System

In Southport, we know people are busy. That’s why we’ve made quoting easy.

Just upload your photos using our online quote dashboard. Tell us the colour you want, whether screens will stay on or come off, and if your house is single or two-storey.

We calculate everything based on clear logic — no guesswork, and all pricing includes materials and GST.

You’ll get a full quote directly from Steve — not a call centre.




✅ Clear Communication

If you’ve ever waited days for a painter to return a message, you’re not alone.

At RepaintPro, we pride ourselves on fast, clear communication. You can:

Text Steve directly on 0403 311 125

Message us via Instagram or Facebook

Use our website to upload job details anytime


We keep you informed of job dates, delays (due to weather), and updates every step of the way.




✅ We’re Not Here to Sell You Anything…

…but we are here to solve the problem of what to do with those old aluminium windows that don’t match anything anymore.

Painting them is faster, cheaper, and more sustainable than full replacement — and we do it with a factory-style finish that completely transforms your home.
