01Who turns up
Two storey rendered Toowoomba home with a freshly painted white garage door and pale tiled roof, brick paved driveway in front

Rendered two storey in Toowoomba. Garage door and roof both done.

Jon has been doing this since before some of his customers owned a house.

J and L Graveling Painting has been registered and working out of Rangeville since 2000. Around town people call him Jon, Jono or Jonathan depending on how long they have known him, which tells you most of what you need to know about how the work comes in.

One family have used him for twelve years on their bed and breakfast, and their father used him before that. Another customer says she has no trouble handing over the keys to her own home. That is the sort of thing that takes decades to earn and about a week to lose.

The jobs run from a single garage door through to a hundred year old Queenslander taken back inside and out. No job too big or small is Tanya Bedo's phrase, not ours.

02What we do

Six things, done properly.

Everything below is work customers have described in their own Google reviews. If it is not on this list, ask. Repair work alongside the painting is normal here, not an extra trade to organise.

  • Interior painting

    Walls, ceilings, trim, doors and window frames. Jon has painted the inside of Toowoomba homes for more than twenty five years, including full interiors on period houses.

  • Exterior painting

    Render, weatherboard, brick, fascia and gables. Prepped properly first, because on a Toowoomba exterior the preparation is most of the job.

  • Roof coating and restoration

    Tile roofs cleaned back and re-coated, terracotta or charcoal. Finished coverage right across the roof, not just the face you see from the street.

  • Queenslander restoration

    Full interior and exterior work on older homes. The most recent was a Queenslander over a hundred years old, taken back and brought up properly.

  • Water blasting and prep

    Paving water blasting and re-paint blasting. Surfaces stripped back and cleaned so the new coat has something honest to hold on to.

  • Deck repair and re-coating

    Timber repaired where it needs it, then re-coated. Repair work alongside painting is part of the service, not a separate trade you have to chase.

03Roof coating

A roof is the one part nobody checks until it is too late.

Tile roofs get cleaned back and re-coated, in terracotta or in charcoal slate. The coverage goes right across the roof, over the ridges and down the far pitch, not just the face that happens to be visible from the footpath.

Water blasting and re-paint blasting are part of the same service, because a coat over a dirty tile is money wasted and both of you know it within two summers.

Every pitch, ridge to gutter

04Inside the house

Cream walls, white trim, no mess left behind.

Interior work is walls, ceilings, sash windows, door frames and skirting. On period houses that means a lot of careful cutting in around timber that has been painted over a dozen times already.

Afra Hall-Beers put the interior standard better than we could: he works quickly and competently, and leaves no mess.

05Recent work

Every colour on that card came off one of the jobs above. If you have a colour in mind already, bring it. If you have not, Jon has seen what holds up on a Toowoomba westerly wall and what does not.

06What customers say

Five reviews on Google. Five out of five.

A small number, honestly reported. Read them and you will notice the same two words keep coming up, which is worth more than a three figure review count would be.

  • We own a B&B we have been using jono for the 12 years that we have owned the property and my father has been using Jono before then. What can i say Jono is the most trusted trades person we have. He always shows up when he says he will, finishes the job on time and on budget with quality that is hard to find these days, he is honest and i have no problem leaving the keys to my personal residence with him. And to top it he is one hell of a nice guy. I can highly recommend J&l Graveling painting if you want the job done right and on time.

  • Jon has done interior and exterior painting plus repair works work for me in the past and has proved to be an excellent tradesman. His exterior and interior painting is professional and with that old school air. The work is fast, affordable and always with pleasing results. The skills on offer include paving water-blasting, re-paint blasting plus deck repair and re-coating. The attached photos show some quality interior and exterior painting Jons team has done recently for me. I have no hesitation in recommending Jon and his team to anyone requiring his Painting and Coating etc services.

  • Jono has been my 'go-to' painter for years and has always done a wonderful job whenever he attends a property. He comes when he says he will, communicates well, works quickly and competently and leaves no mess. The finished job is always very satisfying to see, therefore, I can recommend him and his team to anyone wanting an honest, reliable, well-executed and affordable job. Throughout the years I have known you, you have been a man of great kindness, integrity, and skill. Go Jono!!!

  • Jonathan was fantastic. Exceptional workmanship in the painting and restoration of a large 100 plus year old Queenslander's exterior and interior. Very professional and a pleasure to work with. Thanks John!

Ring Jon. It is quicker.

Tell him what needs painting and roughly when. If he can do it, he will say so, and if he cannot he will tell you that too.
