Transform Your Units Interior with Imperial Painters Burleigh Waters
We are a small team of professional painters working and living around the Burleigh Waters area. As of the 2021 census, Burleigh Waters had 5,307 private dwellings, with approximately 3,804 (around 70.6%) being medium to high-density properties like apartments, townhouses, and units, and an average household size of 2.08 people. With nearly three-quarters of local dwellings being apartments or units, much of our work in Burleigh Waters involves specialized interior repaints tailored specifically for these properties.

How much does it cost to hire an Interior House painter?
To get an accurate price on a full repaint on an entire house, we’d need take a brief look just to get an idea of size but more importantly the level of prep work involved. What does this mean? Well, for a painter, the existing condition of surfaces is a huge part of our day to day jobs. We need to check for things such as dents in the walls that will need filling, large holes that need to be plastered up, mould stains, unsealed surfaces such as new gyprock, new skirting boards that must be gapped up, movement within the walls that has caused cracks, are the walls going from dark to light and will need more coats, the list goes on. On larger scaled jobs it can work in your favour to get an accurate quotation over hiring hourly as with size comes efficiency. However, you can expect to pay $75 per hour for a good painter on the Gold Coast. This hourly rate does not include materials but you will save heaps of cash on paint by using a painting company since our volume of purchases through Dulux allow us to get drums 20-40% cheaper than the public can.

Increased Home Value with Burleigh Waters Interior Repaints
The numbers don’t lie, a freshly painted interior will undoubtedly add value to your house. With Gold Coast real estate prices rocketing with the now median house price sitting at over $1.1 million, many retirees and working professionals are looking to capitalize by selling, downsizing and renting out their property as the hot coastal life attracts younger folk looking to live here.
According to a HomeGain survey from 2012, giving your interior a fresh coat of paint can deliver a whopping 107% return on investment, while sprucing up the exterior could net you a solid 55% ROI. It’s clear that a bit of DIY painting can go a long way in boosting your home’s value when it’s time to sell and rent. Painted homes sell faster, rent faster and command higher prices. It’s a process that doesn’t require planning permissions and doesn’t destroy the bank.
Did you know? The estimated population of Burleigh Waters is 14,880. The median property price from March 2024 to February of 2025 was $1,650,000 for houses. A full interior repaint could raise that median price 5%.

Pride in Prep
Interior prep is especially crucial because the closer environment demands precision and perfection. Every imperfection, especially at eye level, becomes glaringly obvious as you walk around your house. Those flaws become even more noticeable when your eyes have nothing else to do but scan the walls. Next time you’re on the toilet, put down your iPhone for a couple of minutes and take a good look around. Proper prep ensures those imperfections are smoothed out, so your paint can shine without any unwanted distractions but also it ensures:
- Proper paint adhesion to the surface for lasting performance
- No stains from the surface bleed through into the finished paint
- Durability
Surface preparation is a tiresome and time-consuming process that is paramount to an imperial level finish. Depending on the scope of the project, home prep can take up a full day and is just as vital as the painting itself. A large chunk of properties on the Gold Coast are 80s built and thus repaints sometimes need a bit of TLC.
We’ll meticulously inspect for damage like cracks, screw holes, smoking stains, and gaps along door frames and walls corners caused by movement. Even if the wall itself is in great condition, previous poor paint jobs can leave runs, which we’ll sand down to ensure a flawless finish—because taking pride in our work is what sets us apart.

Confused about paint?
Interior Paint Sheens Explained
A paint sheen refers to the level of gloss or shine in a paint’s finish. It indicates how reflective the paint surface will be once it dries. Paint sheens range from flat (no shine) to high-gloss (very shiny), and each type is suited for different purposes, higher sheens are better suited where durability, moisture resistance, and easy cleaning are essential. The inside of your home will commonly contain all 3 types of paints.
Low Sheen
Low sheen is a nice mix between gloss and flat/matte. It’s best used in high traffic areas like hallways, bedrooms, living rooms and will make up the bulk of any interior paint.
Flat/Matte
Contains no shine and is entirely matte, it’s almost always used on ceilings where cleaning is rarely needed. Since flat paint does not reflect light, its very easy on the eye.
Gloss
Gloss makes up the least of any interior job and is super easy to clean. Think doors and skirting, window frames, anywhere where dirty hands can get.
