How much do painters charge in Tweed Heads?

As a guide for Tweed Heads: $3,000–$5,500 for a 3-bedroom interior, $5,000–$11,000 for a full exterior, and $60–$120 per square metre for epoxy flooring. Your written quote fixes the price before work starts.

Is the quote fixed or an estimate?

Fixed. After the on-site walkthrough you get a written quote listing surfaces, preparation, products and coat numbers. The price only changes if you approve extra work in writing.

Why are some painting quotes so much cheaper?

Almost always preparation and coat count. A cheap quote usually means one thinned coat, minimal patching, no primer on bare surfaces and no written scope — which shows up as flaking within a couple of seasons.

Are you licensed and insured to work in Tweed Heads?

Yes. Munn & Co. Finishes holds an NSW painting licence and a QLD QBCC licence, and we carry full public liability insurance. Licence and insurance details are supplied in writing with every Tweed Heads quote.

How to Read a Painting Quote (So You Can Compare Apples to Apples)

A painting quote should tell the full story. Here's how to read one properly so you don't get caught by hidden costs or missing prep.

Every quote should include these six items

If any of these are missing, the quote is incomplete — and the final invoice may not match.

Scope of areas to be painted (room list or exterior elevations)
Surface preparation — wash, sand, fill, caulk, prime
Paint brand and exact product line
Number of finish coats
Start date, estimated duration and payment schedule
Licence, insurance and warranty details

Watch for vague language

Phrases like 'prepare as necessary' or 'apply paint to satisfaction' are red flags. A proper quote lists each step so both sides know what was agreed.

How to compare two quotes

Don't compare the bottom line — compare the scope. A $2,500 quote that skips prep will cost more than a $4,000 quote that includes it, because you'll be repainting sooner.
