Looking for the best painters on the Sunshine Coast? We’ve put together a list of the top 7 painters in 2026 – from award-winning residential specialists to industrial coatings experts. Find the right painter for your specific project.

Top 7 Painters on the Sunshine Coast [Updated 2026]

2026 and the Sunshine Coast painting market is more competitive than ever – but “best” depends entirely on the job you need done.

A homeowner repainting their Noosa Queenslander needs a different painter than a high rise new apartment block. An industrial facility needing corrosion-resistant coatings on machinery isn’t looking for the same trade as someone restoring a fibreglass pool surface, or removing lead paint from a heritage school refurbishment.

The painters that win their category aren’t the ones that try to do everything. They’re the ones that specialise – and deliver.

With that in mind, we’ve put together an updated list of the top 7 painting specialists on the Sunshine Coast – grouped by the type of work they’re genuinely best at. Each is assessed against:

• Awards & industry recognition (Master Painters Australia, Master Builders QLD)
• Years of experience on the Sunshine Coast or in their specialist niche
• Licensing & accreditation (QBCC licence, Dulux accreditation, ISO standards)
• Customer reviews and verified social proof
• Guarantees & warranties offered
• Specialist capability – what they’re genuinely the best in the region at

Final note: all credentials and details listed below were verified from publicly available sources at the time of writing. For full breakdowns, refer to each painter’s own website or contact them directly.

The 7 Best Painting Specialists on the Sunshine Coast

1. Prestige Home Transformations – Best Overall Painters (Residential, Body Corporate & Roof)
2. RAS Vertex – Best for Rope Access & High-Rise
3. South East Superior Coatings – Best for Industrial & Powder Coating
4. Remedial Property Solutions – Best for Protective & Compliance Coatings
5. Brisbane Fiberglass Pools – Best for Fibreglass Pool Painting
6. Phoenix Concrete Coating – Best for Concrete & Pool Surround Coatings
7. Liam Francisco – Best for Lead Paint Removal & Government Contracts

What makes a painter the “best” on the Sunshine Coast?

The honest answer: it depends on what you’re painting.

Residential and body corporate work is one market. Industrial coatings is another. Heritage restoration is a third. Pool surfaces are a fourth. Each demands different skills, different products, different certifications, and different equipment.

What’s consistent across all of them: the best painters in any category have proper credentials, verifiable awards or specialist certifications, written guarantees, and a track record you can actually check. Avoid anyone who can’t show those things – regardless of what they’re quoting.

Below, we cover each of the 7 painters in detail – what they specialise in, what they’re best for, and where their credentials sit.

2. RAS Vertex

Best for Rope Access & High-Rise

Company Information

Location:  Kunda Park, QLD

Established:  2012

Best for:  Multi-storey buildings, hard-to-reach exteriors where scaffolding isn’t practical

Overview

Founded in 2012 by Phil – who brought 15+ years of UK rope access experience to the Sunshine Coast — RAS Vertex started life as Rope Access Services before merging with Vertex Access Solutions in 2023 to form one of the region’s largest specialist maintenance teams. Today the business runs a 25+ strong crew of IRATA-certified technicians, admin and operations staff servicing everything from Noosa to Caloundra.

Their core differentiator is rope access — abseiling techniques that let them paint tall buildings, high-rises and architecturally awkward homes without scaffolding. That makes them the obvious call for 4+ storey buildings, strata blocks, body corporate repaints, and architectural features that are otherwise difficult or expensive to reach. They also bring genuine Sunshine Coast knowledge of coastal conditions and salt-air damage, which matters on exposed coastal properties.

For standard single-storey residential work there are painters with stronger pure-residential credentials, but if height, access or coastal high-rise is part of the brief, RAS Vertex is the specialist.

Services

• Rope access painting (specialty)
• Rope access painting (specialty)
• Multi-storey and high-rise exterior repaints

Credentials

• Dulux Accredited
• Fully licensed and insured
• 10-year written workmanship warranty
• Rope access certified team

Company Information

SES (South East Superior Coatings) isn’t a house painter – they’re an industrial coatings specialist with the largest paint booth and powder coating oven on the Sunshine Coast. They coat machinery, agricultural equipment, automotive components, marine assets and metal fabrications that need to withstand corrosion, chemicals or heavy use.

If you have a tractor, fencing, marine equipment, automotive parts, or industrial machinery that needs protective coating, this is the team. Completely different category from residential painting – and the kind of work most house painters can’t and don’t take on.

• Abrasive blasting (surface prep)

Established:  15+ years in protective coatings

Best for:  Water treatment plants, secondary containment bunds, industrial floors with chemical/abrasion/slip requirements

Overview

Remedial Property Solutions specialises in protective coatings for industrial and commercial assets where standard paint won’t survive – water treatment facilities, secondary containment bunds, abrasion-resistant industrial floors, chemical-resistant surfaces and slip-resistant safety coatings.

This is compliance-driven coating work, not aesthetic painting. The team assesses each asset, recommends the right product system, and applies coatings to meet industry safety and durability standards. Outside Prestige’s market entirely – a specialist call for facility managers and industrial operators.

Services

Brisbane Fiberglass Pools specialises in fibreglass pool cosmetic renovations: painting, osmosis blister treatment, structural repairs and full resurfacing across Brisbane, Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast.

If your pool needs cosmetic restoration or has surface issues, this is the right specialist. Operating under Queensland “handyman exemption” rules with full QBCC compliance, free quote turnaround within 24 hours.

Specialty:  Concrete coatings and epoxy flake flooring

Best for:  Pool surrounds, driveways, garages, outdoor entertaining areas

Overview

Phoenix Concrete Coating specialises in transforming concrete surfaces with epoxy flake flooring and protective coating systems. Most projects are pool surrounds, driveways, garages, patios and outdoor entertaining areas – surfaces where slip resistance, water resistance and visual appeal all matter together.

Best for Lead Paint Removal & Government Contracts

Company Information

Location:  Toowoomba, QLD

Established:  30+ years

Best for:  Lead Paint Abatement Certified, Elevated Work Platform licence

Overview

Lead paint removal is a specialist compliance niche. Properties built before 1970 often contain lead-based paint, which requires regulated removal procedures, containment protocols and disposal compliance – not something most painters are set up to handle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is the best painter on the Sunshine Coast for a house or roof?

For residential, body corporate or roof painting work, Prestige Home Transformations is the most awarded painter on the Sunshine Coast – six-time winner of the Master Painters Australia Excellence Awards (2021-2025), with 219+ five-star Google reviews and 30+ years of local experience.

What should I look for in a Sunshine Coast painter?

Five things matter most: (1) Award recognition from peer-judged bodies like Master Painters Australia, (2) QBCC licensing – verify the licence number on the QBCC public register, (3) Manufacturer accreditation (Dulux Accredited painters use premium products and access manufacturer warranties), (4) Genuine customer reviews – verified Google reviews, not just testimonials on the painter’s own website, (5) Written workmanship guarantees.

How much do painters cost on the Sunshine Coast?

Costs vary significantly by project. Single-room interior repaints typically start $400-$800. Full interior repaints of a 3-bedroom home generally cost $4,000-$8,000. Full exterior repaints range $6,000-$20,000+. Roof restorations are typically $3,000-$8,000. The cheapest quote is rarely the best value – proper preparation costs more upfront but lasts years longer.

Is pool painting the same as house painting?

No. Pool painting is a specialist trade requiring different surface preparation, different products (chlorine-resistant epoxies, fibreglass-compatible coatings) and different application techniques. House painters generally don’t take on pool work, and pool specialists generally don’t do house painting. If your pool needs restoration, hire a pool painting specialist, not a residential painter.

Are industrial coatings the same as commercial painting?

No. Industrial coatings refer to protective coating systems applied to machinery, equipment, metal fabrications, or industrial assets – often powder coating, fusion-bonded epoxy or chemical-resistant systems applied in a workshop. Commercial painting refers to traditional painting work on commercial buildings (offices, retail, hospitality). Different trades, different equipment, different qualifications.

Are all Sunshine Coast painters licensed?

They should be. QBCC licensing is legally required for painting work valued over $3,300 in Queensland. Verify any painter’s licence on the QBCC public register before hiring. Unlicensed painters offer no recourse if work is faulty and may invalidate home insurance claims for paint-related damage.
