Making a new home your own
In a home this new, typical work is replacing flat builder-grade paint with a durable, washable finish, adding colour to an all-white interior, or creating a feature wall in a living or dining area. Decorative finishes such as textured or Venetian-style plaster effects are another way to make a new home feel individual.
Small cracks in a new house
Fine cracks at cornices and plasterboard joints are common in the first years as a new home settles. We fill them with flexible products before repainting so they are less likely to reappear. If your home is still under the builder’s warranty, raise any significant defects with the builder first.
Builder finishes
If your home is still under a builder’s warranty, raise building defects with the builder before repainting over them. More on painting in Molonglo Valley.
Coombs painting questions
Is it worth repainting a home that’s only a few years old?
If the builder-grade paint is marking easily or you want to change the colours, yes. A quality washable finish is much easier to keep clean.
Can you do a Venetian plaster-look feature wall?
Yes. We offer a range of decorative finishes, including Venetian-style plaster effects.
Do you paint townhouses and apartments in Coombs?
Yes, for owners and for owners corporations.
