Keeping a Gowrie family home looking fresh
Gowrie’s family homes see a lot of traffic in hallways, entries and kids’ rooms. The best defence is a durable, washable finish on walls and semi-gloss on doors and skirting, applied over properly repaired surfaces. We fill dents and patches, sand them flush and spot-prime so repairs don’t show through. A slightly deeper neutral hides daily wear better than bright white. On the outside, eaves, fascias and window frames from the 1980s are usually ready for scraping back, priming and new topcoats.
Before work starts
Painting timber linings or beams needs cleaning, sanding and a stain-blocking primer. Pre-2003 fibre-cement may contain asbestos. More on painting in Tuggeranong.
Common questions
Which finish is best for a hallway?
A washable low-sheen on walls and semi-gloss on skirting and doors.
Do you paint in Gowrie and Fadden?
Yes.
Will patched areas show through the new paint?
Not if they are sanded flush and spot-primed before the topcoats. Skipping primer is why patches show.
Can dented plasterboard be fixed before painting?
Yes. Small dents and holes are filled and sanded flush; larger damage may need a patch of new plasterboard.
