A small eastern suburb
Macarthur, ACT is a small suburb on Tuggeranong’s eastern side, developed during the district’s growth from the late 1970s. It is mostly detached family homes.
Exterior timber, inside and out
Timber window frames, doors and screens need regular painting to stay sound. Inside, timber trims from this era are often stained and need a stain-blocking primer before light paint.

Macarthur homes with timber character
Macarthur is one of Tuggeranong’s smaller suburbs, on its eastern side, and many homes have timber details inside and out: window frames, screens, stained architraves and doors. Outside, timber needs regular repainting to stay sound, especially on exposed elevations. Inside, stained timber can be lightened with paint, but tannins will bleed through unless the surface is sealed first. Some owners prefer to keep stained doors as a feature and lighten the walls around them instead; both approaches can look good.
Before work starts
Fibre-cement sheeting installed before the 2003 asbestos ban may contain asbestos. We leave suspect material undisturbed and recommend testing if it needs work. More on painting in Tuggeranong.
