A small Woden suburb
Torrens, ACT is one of Woden Valley’s smaller suburbs and was developed during the district’s 1960s growth. Its housing is mostly detached family homes.
Pre-sale and long-stay repaints
Whether you are preparing to sell or settling in for the long term changes the brief. For a sale, focus on the front of the house and main living areas. For a long stay, invest in thorough preparation and quality products throughout.
Selling or staying in Torrens
Torrens is one of Woden Valley’s smaller suburbs, and its family homes come up for sale with the usual question: what is worth painting? If you are selling, the front of the house, entry, living areas and any marked rooms give the most return. If you are staying, it is better to invest in thorough preparation everywhere: cornice repairs, timber scraped back and sealed, and quality products. We can quote both scopes so you can compare.
Older paint layers
Original enamel trims need an adhesion primer under water-based paint, and pre-1970 layers may contain lead, so we recommend testing first. More on painting in Woden Valley.
