Homes that are ready for a change
Harrison, ACT was built through the 2000s, with detached homes on compact blocks and plenty of townhouses. By now, many of the original interiors are showing their age: scuffed walls, marked doors and colour schemes chosen by the builder rather than the owner.
Personalising the inside
A repaint is the simplest way to make a builder’s home feel like yours. We can repaint every room in a consistent palette, add a feature wall in the living area or a darker colour in a study, and refinish doors and skirting in a tougher semi-gloss. Decorative finishes such as textured or concrete-look walls are another option for a statement space.
Keeping the outside sharp
Gungahlin’s open, exposed streets catch plenty of sun and wind. West-facing walls and timber or fibre-cement details fade first, and garage doors and front doors take the most wear. A targeted exterior refresh of the front elevation and trims can lift a home’s street appeal without a full repaint.
A note on 1990s and 2000s homes
Faded west-facing walls, garage doors and trims are usually the first exterior surfaces to need attention. More on painting in Gungahlin.

Harrison painting FAQs
Can you just paint the front of the house?
Yes. A front-elevation refresh is a popular option before selling or when the rest of the house is still in good condition.
Do you help with colour choice?
Yes. We can suggest palettes and put samples on the wall so you can see them in your own light.
Our townhouse is in a complex. Are there colour rules?
Often, yes, for exteriors. Check with your owners corporation before changing exterior colours. Interior colours are usually up to you.

Harrison is part of Gungahlin. Gungahlin is one of Canberra’s newest districts. Its homes are young, but rendered walls, fibre-cement cladding and builder-grade interiors still need repainting sooner than many owners expect.
