A postwar suburb that keeps changing
Lyneham, ACT was developed mainly in the 1950s and 1960s, with brick family homes that still make up much of the suburb. In recent years townhouses and apartments have been added, particularly along its main roads.
That gives a mix of work: maintenance painting on older homes, interior refreshes for townhouses, and common-area repaints for apartment buildings.

Older homes: protect the timber
On a 1950s or 1960s brick home, the walls rarely need painting, but the timber does. Eaves, fascias, barge boards and window frames weather under Canberra’s strong UV and repeated frosts. We scrape back loose paint, prime bare timber, and finish with a quality exterior system. Because many of these homes were painted before 1970, we use lead-safe preparation methods.
Townhouses and apartments
In townhouses and apartments, we can upgrade flat builder-grade paint to a washable finish, fix scuffs and dents in high-traffic areas, and repaint between tenancies. For owners corporations, we quote for exteriors and shared areas and plan the work with the strata manager.
Older paint layers
Exterior timber on mid-century homes usually fails first. Pre-1970 paint may contain lead, so we avoid dry sanding and burning off. More on painting in Inner North Canberra.
Lyneham painting questions

Yes. We take on single rooms and whole houses.
Can you quote for our whole townhouse complex?
Yes. We quote for owners corporations; licence and insurance details are available on request.
How often should exterior timber be repainted?
It depends on exposure, colour and the paint system. North- and west-facing timber usually needs attention first. We’ll tell you what we see when we inspect.
