• Queenslander Living Area

    Walls, ceilings, wooden floors – all need the personal touch to restore them to their original state.

  • Large Verandah – Patio Area

    Areas subject to the weather need careful attention. Lattice, wooden floors, walls and railings all need to be prepared before adding paint and varnish.

  • Newmarket Hotel Townsville

    Painting old hotels needs careful care – lots of timber, polished and painted all in colours to suit the style and era of the building.

  • Timber Balustrades and Steps

    Varnishing of steps and balustrades to highlight the timber, and careful painting is required.

  • Queenslander with Louvres

    Louvres, old doors and windows along with wooden floors are highlights of the room.

  • Downstairs Living

    New, old, or however large or small the project is, Preferred Painters can do the job for you and make your living space something of which you can be proud.

A few words from Wayne ..  Preferred Painters

Wayne Preferred Painters at work

Wayne, Preferred Painters at work

I have spent most of my working life in the building industry, but prefer painting.

I specialise in houses, however I have worked on commercial and industrial properties, including the Alice Springs Casino, and the Ross Island, Criterion and Newmarket Hotels.

I love to bring back to life things that are old or out of date.

Queenslanders are my speciality, however, as there is lots of maintenance needed this is where I can help.  As a handyman builder, I can restore most things and help with all those fiddly jobs needed to bring the old house back to its former state.

Paint is my life and I enjoy seeing the finished project.

  • How to Get Started

    With the right preparation, you can expect excellent quality finishes on walls and ceilings.

    Home renovations and the feel of a house can start with the colour choice of paint with many people focusing purely on the colour as the most important decision. However, once you have decided to take on a painting project there are several key areas to consider and complete properly in order to get that professional painters look.

    Painting ourselves seemed a daunting task as some defects needed attention first. Wayne had an answer for everything and offered advice with colour selection as well.

    Two business operate from our address and the project was completed without disruption to either.
