Repainting and renovation painting Canberra

The hardest part of a repaint is what you cannot see afterwards

Repainting an established home is rarely just about colour. Thirty or forty years of previous coats, patched cracks, replaced sections of plaster and past repairs all sit under the surface, and they all affect how the new finish looks. Assessing that properly is what separates a repaint that holds up from one that looks patchy within a year.

Renovation painting adds another problem: making new work disappear into old. A new wall, an extension, a replaced door or a rebuilt cornice has to match the surrounding surfaces in texture and sheen as well as colour, or the eye finds the join immediately.

For whole property projects see house painting. For textured surfaces that need matching, see texture painting.

Full and partial repaints

One room, one elevation or the entire property, with the same preparation standard applied either way.

Extensions and new walls

New surfaces sealed, finished and blended so the transition into the existing home is invisible.

Crack and damage repair

Settlement cracks raked and filled, water damaged plaster cut out and repaired, nail pops and dents made good.

Texture and finish matching

Existing wall texture, cornice profiles and sheen levels matched so new work does not stand out under raking light.

Pre sale repaints

Neutral, clean and quick, targeted at the surfaces that actually affect how a property presents to buyers.

Post renovation touch ups

The marks, scuffs and knocks that other trades leave behind, dealt with in one coordinated visit.

How we assess an older property

Before quoting a repaint we work out what is actually going on under the existing paint.
