An established Woden suburb
Garran, ACT was developed in the 1960s and is home to The Canberra Hospital. Its housing is largely brick family homes from that era, with some townhouses and units added since.
We paint for owner-occupiers planning a thorough repaint and for landlords who need a property refreshed between tenants, and the two call for slightly different approaches.
For owner-occupiers
If you’re planning to stay, it pays to do the preparation properly. That means repairing cracked ceilings and cornices, preparing original enamel trims, and treating any lead-containing paint on pre-1970 surfaces safely. Outside, timber eaves, fascias and window frames are the priority.
For landlords
For rental properties, we focus on durable, washable finishes and a consistent colour palette that makes future touch-ups easy. We can coordinate access with your property manager and plan the work around vacancy dates.
Older paint layers
Original enamel trims need an adhesion primer under water-based paint, and pre-1970 layers may contain lead, so we recommend testing first. More on painting in Woden Valley.

Garran painting FAQs
Can you repaint a rental between tenants?
Yes. Tell us your vacancy dates and we’ll plan the job around them.
Do you deal with property managers directly?
Yes. We can arrange keys and access through your property manager and send them updates.
Our ceilings have long cracks. Can they be fixed?
Most can. We rake out, tape where needed and fill before painting. Sagging ceilings need a plasterer first, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case.
