Still being built
Kenny, ACT is a new Gungahlin suburb, with homes built from the 2020s and development still under way. There is no established housing stock yet, so we won’t describe one.
Finishing a new home
Common requests in brand-new homes are upgrading builder-grade paint, adding a feature wall, and painting areas the builder left plain. We recommend waiting until early settlement cracks show before a full repaint, and reporting any defects to your builder first.

A suburb still taking shape
Kenny is one of Gungahlin’s newest suburbs and is still being built, so there’s no established local housing to describe. What we can say is what new homes generally need. Some owners paint key rooms straight away; others wait a year or so for early settlement cracks to show, then do a full repaint in one go. Estate guidelines may cover exterior colours. Building defects should be raised with your builder before they are painted over.
Before work starts
Square-set ceilings and long walls show every patch, so spot-priming and even coats matter. More on painting in Gungahlin.
Common questions
Can you paint before we move in?
Yes. Painting an empty home is quicker and easier.
Do estates have colour rules?
Some do. Check design guidelines before changing exterior colours.
Can you paint while the street is still under construction?
Yes. Dust can affect exterior work, so we time exterior touch-ups for calmer, cleaner days.
