A suburb with a big rental market
Bruce, ACT is in the Belconnen district and includes the University of Canberra, the Australian Institute of Sport and Canberra Stadium. Alongside its 1970s homes there are many apartments and townhouses, and many of them are rented.
Investors and property managers in Bruce often need an apartment repainted between tenants, quickly and to a consistent standard, so it can be relisted without losing weeks of rent.

Repainting between tenancies
For rental turnarounds we fill and sand the inevitable dents and picture-hook holes, treat marks that would bleed through, and repaint in hard-wearing, washable finishes. Using one standard colour and sheen across a property, or across a portfolio, makes the next touch-up quicker and cheaper.
Older homes and commercial spaces
Bruce’s 1970s houses need the same care as others of that era across Belconnen, particularly the exterior timber. We also paint offices and commercial spaces in the area and can work outside business hours.
Before work starts
Stained timber from this era needs a stain-blocking primer before light paint. Fibre-cement eaves in older homes may contain asbestos and are cleaned gently, never sanded. More on painting in Belconnen.
Bruce painting questions
How quickly can you turn around a rental apartment?
It depends on size and condition. We’ll give you a timeframe when we quote and plan around your vacancy dates.
Can you work with our property manager?
Yes. We can arrange access and report back directly to your property manager.
Which colour is best for a rental?
A neutral, warm white or light grey in a washable low-sheen finish suits most tenants and is easy to touch up.
