Areas we cover

Painters for the whole City of Ipswich, all 83 suburbs and localities, plus the northern Gold Coast from Yatala and Coomera down to Surfers Paradise. We don't take work in Brisbane City.

One local team for every Ipswich suburb

Stella Painting is based in Ipswich and works across the whole council area: the heritage streets of central Ipswich, the established eastern suburbs around Goodna and Redbank Plains, the newer estates of Springfield and the Ripley Valley, the riverside northern suburbs, and the acreage and small towns out towards Rosewood and Marburg.

Older Queenslanders and workers' cottages get the slow, careful prep that keeps paint on timber, including lead-safe practice on pre-1990 homes. Newer brick-and-render homes get flexible acrylic systems that handle the western sun, and faded Colorbond-style roofs get cleaned, primed and recoated.

Why local matters for paint in Ipswich

  • Ipswich is about 40 km south-west of the Brisbane CBD and governs the outer western part of the Brisbane metropolitan area.
  • Ipswich began in 1827 as a convict limestone outpost of the Moreton Bay penal settlement, known as Limestone, and was renamed Ipswich in 1843.
  • Ipswich City Council describes Ipswich as Queensland's oldest provincial city.
  • The City of Ipswich is the second-oldest local government area in Queensland after Brisbane; the Borough of Ipswich was proclaimed in 1860 and city status followed in 1904.
  • Ipswich has more than 7,000 heritage and character protected places, and council expects alterations to be sympathetic to the building and its streetscape.
  • Woodend has an unusually intact precinct of heritage timber houses, and inner suburbs such as Coalfalls, Sadliers Crossing, Eastern Heights and Newtown are noted for heritage architecture.

The northern Gold Coast

From Yatala and Coomera down to Surfers Paradise.

Coomera 4209

Fast-growing suburb with many newer brick-and-render homes, including the Coomera Waters canal estate.

Newer render here is often due its first recoat: we wash, fill hairline cracks and finish in a flexible acrylic system.

Upper Coomera 4209

Established family suburb of brick homes from the 1990s and 2000s, plus newer estates on the edges.

Plenty of tired 20-year-old exteriors and faded metal roofs: a full exterior and roof recoat makes the biggest difference.

Pimpama 4209

One of the fastest-growing areas on the northern Gold Coast, mostly newer estate homes and townhouses.

Popular jobs are feature walls, full interiors for new owners and touching up builder-grade paint that hasn't worn well.

Ormeau 4208

A mix of acreage in the hills and newer estates closer to the M1.

Acreage homes, sheds and long fences: we plan bigger exteriors and roofs to be done in one well-organised visit.

Yatala 4207

Largely an industrial and commercial area along the M1, with some rural-residential blocks.

Commercial clients here get after-hours scheduling, written quotes and safety documents, plus recoating of industrial metal roofs.

Helensvale 4212

Established suburb with brick homes from the 1980s onward, townhouses and canal-side streets.

Older brick-and-tile homes suit a fresh trim colour, eaves and fascias, and a tiled-roof restoration.

Oxenford 4210

Established homes and townhouse complexes beside the Coomera River and the theme parks.

We do townhouse and body corporate repaints as well as single homes, working around residents.

Hope Island 4212

Canal and golf-course estates with large rendered homes close to the Broadwater.

Salt air is hard on exterior coatings, so prep and a quality exterior system matter more here than most places.

Southport 4215

The Gold Coast's CBD: offices, shops, units and older houses side by side.

Offices, shopfronts and rental units can be painted after hours so business carries on as normal.

Surfers Paradise 4217

High-rise apartments, units and shops right on the beach.

Apartment interiors, rental refreshes and strata work, with coatings chosen for constant salt air and sun.

Service area questions

Call our friendly team0406 811 398
Do you cover my suburb?

If it is in the City of Ipswich, yes: all 83 suburbs and localities listed on this page, plus the northern Gold Coast from Yatala and Coomera down to Surfers Paradise. If you are just outside, call 0406 811 398 and ask; we will tell you straight away.

Do you work in Brisbane?

No. We stay local to Ipswich so we can turn up on time and keep prices competitive. Brisbane City suburbs are outside our area.

Is there a travel charge for the western suburbs?

No separate travel charge. For acreage and rural blocks we plan the day around travel and, where we can, do the house, sheds and roof in one visit.

Do you quote in person?

Some jobs we price from photos you send us. Others need a short site visit. Both are free and there is no obligation.
