Established Woden
Pearce, ACT was developed during Woden Valley’s main growth in the 1960s and is mostly detached brick family homes.
Timber windows
Original timber windows add character, but they need regular paint to stay sound. We clean back, fill, prime bare wood and seal joints before topcoats, and tell you if any sections need a carpenter.

Keeping original windows sound
Many homes in Pearce, like elsewhere in Woden Valley, still have their original timber windows. They add character, but they rely on paint to keep water out of the joints and sills. When paint cracks, water gets in and the timber softens. We clean back loose paint, fill and consolidate, prime bare wood and seal the joints before topcoats, and point out any sections that need a carpenter. Inside, sashes are protected so they keep opening freely once painted.
Before work starts
On brick homes of this era, the painted timber is usually the priority. Older layers may contain lead, so preparation is low-dust and contained. More on painting in Woden Valley.
Common questions
Is it worth keeping our timber windows?
Usually, if the timber is sound. Regular painting keeps them that way.
Do you paint in Pearce and Torrens?
Yes, across Woden Valley.
Will painting stop our windows opening?
Not if they’re prepared and painted properly. We free sashes during preparation and avoid sealing them shut.
Can you repaint just the window frames on our Pearce home?
Yes. Window frames and sills are a common standalone job, and they protect the timber from water.
