Why BrushUp Painting
What you get on every commercial job
Five things that do not change, whether it is one shopfront or a whole building.
We Work Around Your Hours
Nights, early mornings and weekends. Your doors open on time the next day.
Fixed Price and Written Scope
One number, with the scope beside it. No variations you did not agree to.
Insured with Paperwork Ready
Certificate of currency, SWMS and licence details before we get on site.
Inducted, Uniformed Crew
Site inductions done, ID worn, same faces through the whole job.
Commercial-Grade Coatings
Washable, scuff-resistant systems built for traffic, not for a spare room.
The real cost
The paint is the cheap part. The downtime is not.
Most businesses do not put off a repaint because of the price of the job. They put it off because of what the job does to a trading week. A cafe that loses three lunch services, an office where forty people cannot use their desks, a lobby full of scaffold on the weekend the building has an inspection.
So we quote the disruption as carefully as we quote the paint. That means telling you which areas are out of use and for how long, working the hours your site is empty, and staging the job so you never lose more than one zone at a time. A shopfront that would take three days as a normal job takes three nights instead, and you do not close for any of them.
It also means the program is written down. You get a start date, a finish date and the order the areas are being done in, before anyone turns up. If we are running ahead or behind you hear it that day, not on the last afternoon.

Who we work for
Sites we paint
Different buildings, different access rules, different hours. Same prep and the same finish.
Retail and Hospitality
Shops, cafes, restaurants and salons. We paint after close and clear the floor before you open, so you do not lose a trading day to a drop sheet.
Strata and Common Areas
Lobbies, corridors, stairwells, car parks, balconies and building exteriors. We deal with the strata manager, work to the committee approval and keep residents moving through the building.
Warehouses and Industrial
Walls, ceilings, structural steel, roller doors and safety markings. High-access work handled with the right equipment rather than an extension ladder and optimism.
Medical, Childcare and Education
Low-VOC, low-odour systems and antimicrobial options where they are needed. Scheduled around term breaks and closures, with the site clear before anyone comes back in.
Body Corporate Exteriors
Render, brick, concrete, eaves and balustrades on multi-storey blocks. Washed, repaired and coated in a weather-rated system built for salt air between the harbour and the beaches.
Painting a house instead of a business? That is residential painting, and it runs on normal hours with the same fixed price and the same prep.

The job itself
How a commercial job actually runs
Six stages, in order, on every commercial site we take. Ask any contractor to walk you through theirs before you sign anything.
-
Site walk and scope
Our team walks the site with you and writes down what is actually being painted, room by room or level by level. Surfaces, colours, coats, what stays and what is excluded. Most disputes on commercial jobs start with a scope nobody wrote down properly, so we write it down properly.
-
Fixed price and program
You get one price, the scope beside it, and a program with a start date and a finish date. If the job runs in stages, the program says which areas are being done on which nights. That number does not move unless you ask us to change the scope.
-
Paperwork and inductions
Certificate of currency, licence details and a SWMS go to whoever needs them before we turn up. If your building requires site inductions, permits or after-hours access approvals, we get them done in that window rather than on the first night.
-
Protection and set-up
Floors covered, furniture and stock moved and wrapped, fixtures and signage masked or removed, and anything live isolated. Public areas get barriers and signage so nobody walks through a wet cut-in. This is the part that decides whether your fitout survives the job.
-
Prep, prime and coat
Wash down, sand back the loose material, fill and patch, caulk the junctions, treat mould and rust at the source, then seal what needs sealing. Two topcoats as standard. High-traffic walls get a washable system that takes a scrub instead of wearing through in six months.
-
Clear down and handover
The site is cleaned, put back and usable before your first customer or first shift arrives. We walk the job with you, work through a defect list if you have one, and close it out. The final invoice comes after that walkthrough, not before it.
Before we get on site
The paperwork, done before you ask for it
On a commercial job the compliance pack is not admin. It is the reason your building manager lets us through the door.
Every quote we send for a commercial job comes with the documents attached rather than promised. Certificate of currency for public liability, our NSW painting licence, and a SWMS written for your site instead of a template with someone else's address on it.
If there is a head contractor, a building manager or a strata committee involved, send us their requirements at quote stage and we will meet them in that window. Inductions, access approvals, loading dock bookings, after-hours permits and swipe cards all take time, and they are the single most common reason a painting job starts a week late.
On site the crew is in uniform with ID, works to the SWMS, and uses the access equipment named in the quote. Public areas get barriers and signage. Nothing gets improvised on a ladder because the right lift was never priced in.
For your records: NSW painting licence 454091C, $10 million in public liability cover, ABN 40 666 777 420, and Dulux accreditation. Certificates go out with the quote.
- Public liability insurance $10 million cover. Certificate of currency sent with the quote.
- NSW painting licence 454091C Verifiable with NSW Fair Trading.
- Dulux accredited Product warranties on specified systems actually apply.
- Site-specific SWMS Written for your building, not copied from the last one.
- Inductions and permits Completed before the start date, not on the first night.
- Height access Scaffold, scissor lift or boom, named and priced in the scope.
- Public safety Barriers, signage and clear fire egress in occupied buildings.
Materials
Coatings built for traffic
Accredited Painter
As a Dulux Accredited Painter we use Dulux commercial systems on most jobs, and we recommend another trusted system where it suits the surface better. The product is agreed with you before we start and does not change once the job is underway. The mistake we see most often on commercial sites is a domestic paint on a commercial wall. A flat interior white looks excellent on handover and looks worn out by the second quarter, because a corridor with trolleys, bags and shoulders going down it is not a bedroom.
High-traffic areas get a washable, scuff-resistant low sheen that can be cleaned rather than touched up. Wet areas, kitchens and amenities get a mould-resistant semi gloss. Steel, roller doors and handrails get a primer matched to the metal, because a topcoat straight over bare or rusted steel is a repaint you pay for twice.
Exteriors near the water take a beating. Between Bondi and Coogee, salt gets into render and eats the coating from underneath, so exteriors get washed, treated and coated in a weather-rated system rather than one thick coat over the top of the problem.
- High-traffic walls Washable, scuff-resistant low sheen. Cleans instead of wearing.
- Ceilings Matt, so downlights do not pick up every join and undulation.
- Amenities and kitchens Mould-resistant semi gloss that takes a scrub.
- Doors, frames and trims Semi gloss or gloss. Holds a clean edge under constant use.
- Steel and roller doors Primed to the substrate, then a coating rated for it.
- Occupied sites Low-VOC and low-odour so staff and residents can stay put.
Timing
How long it takes
- Single shop or cafe
- 1 to 3 nights
- Small office tenancy
- 2 to 4 days
- Full floor office
- 1 to 2 weeks
- Strata lobby and corridors
- 1 to 2 weeks
- Warehouse interior
- 2 to 4 weeks
- Full building exterior
- 3 to 6 weeks
These are working durations for the job itself, not elapsed time on site. After-hours work runs in shorter shifts, so a job that takes three days of daytime labour usually spreads across four or five nights instead. Weather moves exterior dates and nothing anyone does changes that. The fixed price does not move because it rained.
Cost
What commercial painting costs
Straight answer first: nobody can price a commercial site properly without walking it. Here is what moves the number.
Two sites with the same floor area can be double each other in labour. One is an empty tenancy with sound walls and a lift you can book. The other is a trading restaurant with a grease-loaded kitchen, fixed joinery to cut around and four hours a night to work in. The paint costs the same on both. The job does not.
As a rough guide, a single shopfront or cafe starts from $3,000, a small office tenancy from $3,000, a strata lobby and corridor package from $2,400, and a full building exterior from $4,200. Treat those as starting points, not quotes.
The on-site quote is free and it comes back as one fixed number with the scope written beside it, in a format you can put in front of a landlord, a committee or a finance team. If something turns up behind a wall that nobody could have seen, we stop and talk to you before we spend your money.
What moves the price
- Surface area Wall and ceiling area, not floor area. Corridors and voids add up fast.
- Access hours After-hours and weekend shifts cost more per hour and run shorter.
- Height and access equipment Scaffold, scissor lifts and booms are a real line, not a rounding error.
- Condition of the existing coating Sound and clean is quick. Peeling, chalky, rusted or damp is not.
- Coating system Anti-graffiti, antimicrobial and industrial systems cost more than standard.
- Occupied or empty Working around staff, stock and residents is slower than an empty site.
- Protection and make-good Fitouts, joinery, signage and flooring that have to be covered or removed.
- Compliance overhead Inductions, permits, traffic control and out-of-hours approvals.

Very happy with Mosi and his team. We were on a tight schedule and needed the painting completed before moving in, and Mosi was always very responsive and kept things moving without any fuss.
The quality of the work was excellent, and the apartment looks fantastic. What also stood out was how trustworthy and reliable he was. We gave him the keys to our apartment and felt completely comfortable doing so.
I’d happily recommend Mosi and his team to anyone looking for a professional and reliable painter.
Mosi and the team did a fantastic job on my interior paint job. Mosi advised on paints and finishes, and was extremely flexible in timing around other trades. I will absolutely be using BrushUp Painting again!
I highly recommend BrushUp Painting. Mosi and the team painted the exterior of my house which has an awkward shape and was extremely difficult to access the upper level. They also repaired some rotten timberwork so saved me having to get a carpenter in beforehand. Very happy with the end result and the price.
Mosi and the team did an outstanding job painting our house after full renovation, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. The team handled a range of challenging surfaces with real skill and attention to detail, and the finish looks clean, sharp, and high-quality throughout. It’s clear they take pride in their work and know exactly what they’re doing.
What really stood out was their professionalism from start to finish. They were reliable, easy to deal with, and left the place spotless once the job was done—no mess, no stress. If you’re looking for painters who deliver excellent workmanship and actually care about the final outcome, I’d highly recommend BrushUp Painting.
Mosi and his team recently painted the complete interior of my house. I found him as I had asked my friend who painted her house as it looked great and she put me in touch. They are quick and clean. The whole thing was done in under a week and it looks very fresh and clean. Could not be happier and would use them again!
Mosi and his team did a fantastic job repainting our unit. They were totally professional, courteous and very well priced.
These guys are total professionals and could not recommend them more highly.
Mo and his team were great at painting our house. His pricing was competitive and he started/finished as programmed.
He was able to start with reasonably short notice and willing to do extras that he saw necessary to do a quality job.
He left the site clean and tidy and has made a real difference to the overall appeal of the house.
Will look to Mo again when we need a painter.
I had an amazing experience with Mosi. Their team was professional, punctual, and did a fantastic job. The attention to detail and quality of work exceeded my expectations. My home looks brand new! I highly recommend them for anyone looking for top-quality painting services.
Thank you Mosi for the amazing job you did with our old cottage. You took such great care to provide a beautiful end result. I highly recommend this business.

FAQ
Questions businesses ask us
Yes, and on most commercial jobs that is how we do it. Nights, early mornings, weekends and public holidays. The site gets cleared and put back before you open, so you do not lose a trading day. After-hours work is priced into the quote up front rather than added later as a variation.
Almost never. We stage the work so only one area is out of use at a time, and we use low-odour, low-VOC paints so the rest of the site stays usable. Offices usually keep running through it. Shops and hospitality we paint after close. The only jobs that need a shutdown are ones where a whole floor has to come out at once, and we tell you that at quote time.
Yes. We carry public liability insurance and hold a NSW painting licence. Ask and we will email the certificate of currency and the licence details straight through, along with a SWMS for the job. Most building managers and head contractors want all three before we get on site, so we send them without being chased.
Yes. If your building requires inductions, after-hours access approvals, hot work permits or loading dock bookings, tell us at quote stage and we build the time into the program. The crew arrives inducted, in uniform and with ID.
Regularly. We are used to quoting in a format a committee can actually read and vote on, dealing with the strata manager rather than twelve owners, and working around residents. Notices go up before we start each area, and lifts, lobbies and fire exits stay clear and clean the whole way through.
With the right access equipment for the job, whether that is scaffold, a scissor lift, a boom or rope access, and it appears in the quote as a line you can see. High-level warehouse and multi-storey exterior work needs it, and pricing a job without it is how quotes end up thousands apart for no visible reason.
Dulux and other trusted commercial systems, agreed with you before we start. High-traffic walls get a washable, scuff-resistant low sheen rather than a domestic flat that marks the first time a trolley touches it. Wet areas and kitchens get a mould-resistant semi gloss. Structural steel, roller doors and metal get a primer and a coating matched to the substrate. If a surface needs something specific, it is named in the scope.
Yes, and they are worth quoting early. Bring us in before you hand back and we will price the repaint against what the lease actually requires, so you are not paying to repaint walls the make-good clause never covered.
For most jobs we invoice on completion, after the walkthrough. Longer programs get progress claims at agreed stages, set out in the quote before we start. We are happy to work to a purchase order and your standard payment terms if that is how your business runs.
