Painters Brisbane. Don’t buy a Blind Quote.
Visible-Quote Painting. See the job before you pay.
A painting quote is a number with the work hidden. You are not choosing a painter. You are choosing which work will be skipped. Lazar, a third-generation painter, walks the property first, then writes the job: every surface, every prep line, the paint system, and the access.
- Surfaces named, prep named per surface, product named as brand plus system
- We walk the property before a price exists. We do not quote from photos

The problem
What a Blind Quote is
A number, with the work hidden
A total sits at the bottom of a paragraph. Nothing on the page tells you which surfaces are in it, or which ones are not.
Every real decision is invisible
Whether the eaves are included. Whether the weatherboards are sanded back or scuffed. Whether anyone is putting scaffold up for the back elevation. Whether it is two coats or one.
So three quotes cannot be compared
Three painters can each leave out a different half of the job and all three documents still look like quotes. That is Quote Blindness, and it is the format rather than the painter.
The diagnostic
Score a quote you already have
Ten checks. A Quote Visibility Score from 0 to 10, and a plain English list of what the quote is not showing you. It works on a quote from any painter, and it does not ask for your phone number.
The first four checks
- Was the site walked, not photographed?
- Are the surfaces named?
- Is the preparation named?
- Is the product named, brand plus system?
Six more on the page, including whether the price is tied to the lines.

“So glad we chose Metro for our house exterior and bedrooms. They delivered on everything promised. Our quote was much less than what we were expecting.”

Don't buy a Blind Quote. Book the walk. Then read the job.
You've probably had three or four quotes on the table. Some were cheap. Some did not say what work they included.
You are not chasing the lowest number. You are trying to see the job before you pay.
A repaint is a $10,000+ decision. You deserve a quote that's walked, not guessed. A scope that's written, not verbal.

Interior Painter Brisbane
Rooms that stay flawless through every humid Brisbane summer.
Your interior paint faces constant pressure from Queensland humidity. Bubbling, peeling, yellowing within a year if the system is wrong. We match the right primer and paint to every substrate, from VJ panels to modern plasterboard. Backed by a 5-year workmanship warranty.
A Personal Commitment from the Founder
Preparation is the job. The painting is just the last step.
My name is Lazar Zafirovic. I’m a third-generation painter with over 15 years on the brush and a QBCC licence to back it up. I learned the trade working alongside my father. He taught me that preparation is the job. The painting is just the last step.
That belief runs through everything I do. I check every surface before a roller touches it. I use Dulux, Taubmans, Haymes & Wattyl because cheap paint fails in Queensland weather.
When you request a quote from our painting company in Brisbane, I personally review the scope, the measurements, and the pricing, so the number you see is the number you pay. Every job carries my 5-year written workmanship warranty. My name is on it.

“Lazar was right on time to quote and oversee the job. The painters were very polite, on time each day and the paint job was excellent. Nothing was too much bother for the team.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions Brisbane Homeowners Ask
Most residential repaints in Brisbane range from $3,500 to $15,000+ depending on the size of the home, the number of surfaces, substrate condition, and paint system used. A single-storey 3-bedroom exterior typically sits between $4,500 and $7,500. The only way to give you an accurate number is to walk the property. That is what a Visible Quote is: the surfaces named, the prep named, and the price tied to those lines.

Check three things before you sign anything: their QBCC licence (verify at qbcc.qld.gov.au), their Google reviews (look for named reviewers with specific detail, not generic five-star ratings), and whether they provide a written scope of work before the job starts. Any painting company in Brisbane that can't provide all three is a risk. Metro Painting Group's QBCC licence is #15130869. Look it up.
Was this helpful?
Yes. A 5-year written workmanship warranty on every job. It is issued in writing on completion, not a verbal promise. If anything fails due to workmanship within five years, we fix it at zero cost to you.
Was this helpful?
A standard 3-bedroom exterior takes 3 to 5 days depending on surface preparation required. Interior repaints of a full home typically run 4 to 7 days. Roof painting is usually 1 to 2 days. We provide a written timeline in your scope of work so you know exactly what to expect before we start.
Was this helpful?
We use Dulux, Taubmans, Haymes and Wattyl. All premium Australian brands formulated for local conditions. We use Wattyl most frequently because its exterior systems perform exceptionally well in Queensland's UV intensity and humidity. Budget paint fails faster in Brisbane's climate. We don't use it, and we won't recommend it.
Was this helpful?
Yes. Our QBCC licence number is #15130869. You can verify this directly at qbcc.qld.gov.au before you book. We carry $20 million public liability insurance. Copies of both are available on request.
