Local context
What we paint in Woombye.
Woombye is a small railway village, and it still feels like one. The pub and the old shopfronts sit close to the station in the middle of town, with timber cottages on the streets around them. Those cottages are some of the oldest houses in the area. Newer family homes have filled the edges of town since, mostly brick and render. Then there's West Woombye, where the blocks turn into acreage and houses sit back from the road among trees and paddocks. The Big Pineapple is just out of town as well. So a Woombye repaint could be an old cottage near the station or a big family home on acreage. We quote those two very differently, because the old timber needs far more hands-on prep than the newer brick ever will.
What we watch for
Substrate and exposure notes.
The old Woombye timber has seen a lot of paint. We test any layer that could be older than 1970 for lead before we sand, and fibro eaves get an asbestos check too. Window sills and the bottoms of weatherboards are where rot usually starts, so we probe them and replace soft timber first. Old putty around the window panes often needs redoing as well. Big trees around the village and out at West Woombye keep shaded walls damp, and that brings back mould and lichen. We treat it and wash it off well before painting. On acreage homes we look at access early, because high gables and long verandahs often need scaffold rather than ladders.
Shops, offices and unit blocks
Commercial painting in Woombye.
Woombye's village centre is small, but it keeps a painter busy. There's the pub, plus cafes and shops near the railway station, and some of them sit in older buildings that need more prep than a new shopfront. Out at West Woombye, rural businesses and acreage properties have offices and sheds to keep painted. Nambour's town centre is only a short drive north, so businesses there are on our list too. For shops and cafes, we can paint after closing or over a weekend, so trading isn't cut short. If you sit on the committee for a small complex in the area, we'll quote the common areas to the body corporate.

Common questions
Painting in Woombye: common questions.
Do you take on painting jobs in West Woombye too?
Yes. We paint across Woombye and out into West Woombye, from village cottages near the station to family homes on acreage. Bigger rural blocks just need a bit more planning for access and scaffold. See our Woombye exterior painting and interior painting pages, or Nambour next door.
How quickly can you get to a job in Woombye?
We’ll book a time to look at the house, then give you a start date with the written quote. Season plays a part. Wet spells in the hinterland slow outside work because shaded walls take longer to dry, while interiors are easier to fit in at any time of year. If you’re working to a sale or settlement date, tell us at the start.
What should I budget to paint an old Woombye cottage?
As a guide, a single-storey weatherboard exterior runs about $10,000 to $25,000, and a full 3-bedroom interior about $8,000 to $14,000. An old cottage that needs lead testing and timber repairs tends to land higher in those ranges. The house painting cost guide explains what moves the price, and we’ll send a written quote after a visit.
