How to choose a roof painter

The “best” contractor is the one properly suited to the roof, scope and legal requirements—not the one making the biggest claim.

Questions worth asking

What roof material and coating condition do you see?
What preparation and repairs are included?
Which product system and coats are specified?
What licence requirements apply to this scope?
How are safety and property protection handled?
What is excluded from the quote?
How are extra defects approved?
Who provides workmanship and product warranties?

Check Queensland licensing

QBCC advises homeowners to check the contractor’s licence before signing or paying. Building work valued over $3,300 generally requires an appropriately licensed contractor, but the required class depends on the work.

QBCC: Who must hold a licence

Warning signs

Pressure to sign immediately
Large or unusual deposit demands
No written preparation scope
A promise that paint fixes every leak
No inspection before a fixed complex quote
Licence details that do not match the person or company
Vague product descriptions or coat numbers

Verify, do not assume

QBCC’s licence register can show status, class and history. A business name or ABN is not the same as a QBCC licence.
