Express Paint now has a permanent painting crew based in Townsville. We’re a QBCC-licensed commercial painting contractor with 10+ years across North and Far North Queensland — and with a local Townsville crew plus our Cairns operation behind it, we handle commercial, industrial and large-scale projects from the Burdekin to the ranges without travel premiums or scheduling excuses.
Commercial painting for Townsville businesses
- Offices, retail & hospitality — interior and exterior repaints with after-hours and staged scheduling so you keep trading.
- Industrial & warehouses — high-durability coating systems, spray application, protective and safety-line work.
- Body corporate & strata — Townsville’s unit complexes need programmed repaints with compliance paperwork; we provide scopes, insurance certificates and SWMS committees can rely on (see our body corporate service).
- Schools, healthcare & government — vetted crews, flexible programming around terms and operations.
- New construction — builder partnerships, on schedule and on spec.
A local crew, backed by a regional operation
Our Townsville crew lives and works locally — same-week site inspections, no fly-in fly-out surcharges, and a foreman you can call. Behind them sits our full Cairns operation: extra crews for big pushes, project management systems, and a decade of commercial painting across the north. That combination — local presence with regional capacity — is what lets us take on everything from a single shopfront to a multi-building program.
Coatings for the dry tropics
Townsville’s climate is its own challenge: intense UV most of the year, salt air along The Strand and the marina precincts, cyclonic wet-season rain, and heat that punishes dark roofs and western walls. We specify UV-stable, salt-tolerant exterior systems, heat-reflective roof coatings that measurably cut cooling costs, and membrane systems that keep driving rain out of block and render. Cheap coatings chalk and fade fast up here — ours are chosen to last.
Where we work
Townsville city and every suburb, plus the surrounding region — Ingham, Ayr and the Burdekin, Charters Towers — and north through Cairns to the tip of Cape York for remote and regional projects. If your site is in North Queensland, we cover it.
