Cottages, apartments and shopfronts
Braddon, ACT was one of the first residential areas built in Canberra’s inner north in the 1920s, and some early cottages remain on its quieter streets. Much of the suburb has since been redeveloped with apartment buildings, and its main commercial streets are now lined with cafés, restaurants, gyms and small shops.
Braddon’s mix means one suburb can call for cottage repaints, strata stairwells and hospitality interiors.
Hospitality and retail spaces
For cafés, bars and shops, downtime costs money. We plan commercial repaints around trading hours, often working overnight or on closed days, and choose durable, washable finishes that stand up to heavy traffic and regular cleaning. Feature walls and decorative finishes are a popular way to give a venue its own character.

Apartment living
Apartment repaints are typically done before a sale or lease, or after a tenant moves out. We work within the building’s by-laws, book lifts and loading areas where needed, and protect common-area floors and walls on the way in and out.
A note on apartments
Apartment work follows the building’s by-laws on hours, lift bookings and protection of common areas. More on painting in Inner North Canberra.
Common questions
Can you paint our café without closing during trading hours?
Yes. We can work overnight or on the days you are closed, so you open as normal.
Which paint stands up best in a busy venue?
Hard-wearing, washable finishes with a low sheen for walls and a tougher semi-gloss on high-contact areas. We’ll recommend products for your space.
Can you create a textured or concrete-look feature wall?
Yes. Decorative finishes are a good way to add character to a hospitality or retail space without a full refit.
