Start this painting quoteWeatherboard painting: let the character of the boards show
Weatherboard homes have many edges, junctions and details. Ask how these will be prepared and which areas need repair before coating. A contractor should inspect the existing finish and choose an appropriate system. Keep replacement boards, access equipment and decorative timberwork visible in the written scope.
What to include in your weatherboard painting quote
Make the scope specific before comparing prices. Use these details to describe your Redcliffe project and ask the contractor to confirm each part of the work in writing.
Edges and details
Include corners, window surrounds, fascia and verandah elements. Clarify whether all timberwork is being repainted.
Existing coatings
Tell the contractor what you know about previous paint layers. Older or unknown coatings should be assessed before disturbance.
What shapes your quote?
The same surface area can involve very different work. Ask the contractor to make these decisions clear in writing.
Existing surfaces
Describe peeling, staining and past repairs. Ask what preparation is included and which repairs need separate work.
Access and use
Include heights, restricted access and spaces that must stay usable. Ask how protection and any staged work affect the quote.
Colour and finish
List the finish for each surface and any substantial colour changes. Separate essential work from optional areas or later stages.

Weatherboard painting inspection checklist
Create an elevation checklist showing which sides need work. Identify additions that have different boards or finishes and any areas recently repaired. Leave preparation methods to the contractor’s assessment; a quote should explain the proposed treatment without assuming every existing surface is suitable for direct repainting.
Agree the project before booking
Use the inspection to resolve unknowns in the brief. Ask for the agreed scope, availability and price in writing before accepting the proposed work.
Weatherboard painting: your questions.
Can weatherboards be painted without replacing every board?
Often the scope can distinguish sound surfaces from local repairs, but a site inspection is needed. Ask for repair allowances and replacement work to be separated from the painting price so you understand what is covered.
What affects the quote for weatherboard painting?
The extent of the work, existing condition, access and agreed finish all need to be assessed. Create an elevation checklist showing which sides need work. Ask for assumptions and exclusions to be written down so you can compare the same scope.
