An early-stage suburb
Kinlyside, ACT is a planned suburb in Gungahlin that is at an early stage of development. With little established housing, there is no local painting history to describe, so this page covers what new homes need.
Painting a brand-new home
New homes are usually finished in a single builder-grade coat. Upgrading to a washable finish, adding colour, and dealing properly with the small cracks that appear as a new house settles are the main jobs. Check your builder’s warranty and any estate guidelines before changing exterior finishes.
An early-stage area
Kinlyside is at an early stage of development, so there is little established housing and no local painting history to describe, and we don’t invent one. As homes are completed, the needs will be those of any new build: upgrading the builder’s single coat, adding colour, dealing properly with early settlement cracks, and checking estate guidelines and warranty terms before changing anything on the outside. We can quote for new owners as homes are handed over.
A note on newer homes
If your home is still under a builder’s warranty, raise building defects with the builder before repainting over them. More on painting in Gungahlin.

Can you quote before we get the keys?
We can give a guide from plans and photos, then confirm on site after handover.
