Ezicon Painting & Decorating provides cement and acrylic rendering in Brisbane for residential and commercial properties. Whether you are covering old brickwork, repairing cracked render or taking a house from bare masonry to a finished painted surface, we do the render and the paint as a single job. QBCC licensed and fully insured.
Rendering is the process of applying a coat of cement, acrylic or polymer-based material to a masonry, brick or block surface. Once set, it gives the wall a smooth, flat or textured finish that can be painted or left with a coloured acrylic coat. The result is a cleaner, more modern look and a surface that is easier to maintain than bare brick.
For Brisbane homes, rendering is one of the most effective ways to update the look of an older brick house. It also has practical benefits: a well-applied render coat fills surface imperfections, reduces moisture absorption and gives the painter a consistent surface to work from.
Cement rendering is the traditional approach. A mix of sand and cement is applied in one or two coats, floated to the desired texture and allowed to cure before painting. It is durable, well-proven on Queensland homes and the right choice for most standard residential and commercial applications.
The key to cement rendering is preparation and correct application. The base surface must be clean and keyed properly. Mix ratios matter. Curing time must be respected before any paint is applied. Skip any of those steps and the render will crack, delaminate or take the paint unevenly.
We do not rush the cure. The render is ready when it is ready, and the paint goes on after that.
Acrylic or polymer-modified renders use an acrylic binder to give the finished coat more flexibility and adhesion than straight cement render. This makes them a good choice for surfaces with minor movement, new construction where settling is expected, or situations where a finer, more consistent texture is required.
Acrylic renders are also available in a full colour range, so they can be used as a finished coat without a separate paint layer. If a coloured render finish suits your project, we can advise on the product options and colour selection.
One of the most common requests we get is render-and-paint: apply render to the exterior and paint it in one continuous engagement. This avoids the coordination problem of using a separate renderer and painter and ensures the surface preparation, render mix and paint system are all matched correctly.
We quote and manage the full scope. You deal with one contact, get one written price, and the job is finished and inspected as a complete unit. For most Brisbane homeowners wanting to update an older brick exterior, this is the most practical and cost-effective approach.
If your existing render has cracked, spalled or delaminated in sections, it does not always require a full re-render. We assess the extent of the damage, identify the cause and patch where that is the appropriate response.
Not all cracks are the same. Hairline surface cracks from normal thermal movement are different from deeper structural cracks or cracks caused by rising damp or bond failure. We identify the type and cause before recommending a fix. Filling a symptom crack without addressing the cause is not a proper repair.
Where patching is the right call, we match the texture and finish as closely as possible before painting over. Where the damage is too extensive or the substrate has a bigger underlying issue, we say so clearly in the quote.
We carry out house rendering and concrete rendering across Brisbane, Logan and the surrounding suburbs. For Gold Coast rendering work, visit our rendering Gold Coast page.

Rendering cost depends on the wall area, the surface condition, the number of coats and the product selected. A render-and-paint job on a full house exterior is a significant scope and is priced accordingly. Partial re-renders and crack repairs are smaller scopes. We give a fixed written price after measuring up on site. Get a free quote and we will come out and assess.
Yes. We work on both residential and commercial rendering in Brisbane. Commercial rendering jobs, including tilt-slab panels, masonry facades and block-wall finishes, follow the same standards as residential work. QBCC licensed and fully insured.
Neither is universally better. Acrylic render is more flexible, faster to apply and available in colour. Cement render is durable, cost-effective and proven on Queensland homes. The right choice depends on the substrate, the project requirements and your budget. We advise on the best option for each specific job.
