Is a single room in Dicky Beach too small a job for you?

No. We’re happy to paint one room, and we take on whole houses and full complexes here too. As a guide, our instant estimate puts the walls of a single room at about $500 to $1,200. See exterior painting in Dicky Beach for how we handle the seaward walls and complex work, or send us your address and tell us what needs doing.

How far ahead should a Dicky Beach complex book its repaint?

As early as the committee can manage. A complex needs a quote and a committee vote, then notices go out to residents, and that takes time on its own. We give a start date with the quote, and the dry months from late winter into spring are the first to fill. Our body corporate painting page walks through how we run a complex from quote to sign-off.

What price range should a Dicky Beach homeowner expect?

Our guide ranges are a fair place to start. A single-storey rendered house costs about $7,000 to $14,000 to paint outside, and a clad one about $9,000 to $20,000. Inside, a full repaint of a 3-bedroom home runs about $8,000 to $14,000. Walls facing the surf can need extra prep. The house painting cost guide lists what moves the number.

Local context

What we paint in Dicky Beach.

Dicky Beach is small. It had 1,921 people at the 2021 Census, packed between the sea, Tooway Creek, Buderim Street and Coonowrin Street. The land held army camps during the Second World War, and the Henzells went back to selling house blocks in 1947. So many of the older homes date from the years after the war, with newer houses and complexes built around them since. Around two thirds of homes are separate houses, and close to a quarter are townhouses or semi-detached. The suburb also has two retirement villages, a holiday park and a foreshore reserve. About three in ten homes are rented, so we paint for landlords and property managers as well as for owners who live in the house. Complexes planning their next full exterior make up the rest of the work.

What we watch for

Substrate and exposure notes.

Houses closest to the beach face open surf, and the onshore wind brings salt with it. Front walls on those homes, plus metal like railings and garage doors, get a fresh-water wash and a heavier system. Homes from the post-war years can have fibro eaves and many layers of old paint, so we test fibro for asbestos and older paint for lead before anything is sanded. On townhouse complexes, the trims and fibre cement joins need the closest look. Sealant at those joins and around windows shrinks in the sun and opens up, and water gets in behind the paint. We cut out the old bead and run a new one before priming. Shaded walls under trees stay damp longer, and mould grows back there first unless it's killed properly.

Shops, offices and unit blocks

Commercial painting in Dicky Beach.

Most shared buildings in Dicky Beach are townhouse complexes, where the body corporate looks after outside walls, fences, gutters and garage doors. We quote those building by building so the committee can vote on real numbers. Places like the two retirement villages and the holiday park have people on site every day. Painting walkways and common rooms there means working in small sections and keeping noisy prep to sensible hours. Small shops and cafes in the area, and offices in the Caloundra CBD a few minutes south, get the same careful planning. After-hours and weekend work can be arranged when a business can't close.
