How to Choose a Painter in Tweed Heads — A Homeowner's Checklist
Don't pick a painter on price alone. Here's the 8-point checklist we recommend every Tweed Heads homeowner runs before signing a quote.
Start with the basics
A legitimate painter in Tweed Heads should be able to show you a current NSW Contractors Licence (or QLD licence for cross-border work), public liability insurance and local references without hesitation. If any of those are missing or vague, keep looking.
The 8-point painter checklist
Run every quote through these eight points before you sign.
- Current NSW licence number on the quote (ours is 461243C)
- Public liability insurance certificate
- Written, itemised scope — prep, primer, coats, clean-up
- Exact paint product and sheen specified
- Local references within 10 km of your home
- Clear start date, finish date and payment schedule
- Warranty in writing — at least 5 years on workmanship
- No request for full payment upfront
Red flags that should make you walk away
Cash-only quotes, pressure to sign today, no licence number, no insurance and quotes that are half the price of everyone else are all signs of a job that will cost more in the long run.
