An earlier Molonglo suburb
Wright, ACT was one of the earlier suburbs developed in the Molonglo Valley, in the 2010s. Housing is contemporary detached homes, townhouses and apartments on compact blocks.
Approaching the first repaint
With a decade of family life, builder-grade interiors show wear, settlement cracks have appeared at cornices and joints, and exterior trims are fading. A first full repaint with tougher finishes is usually worthwhile now.
Wright at around ten years
Wright was one of the earlier Molonglo Valley suburbs, so many of its homes are now about a decade old. That is when builder-grade interiors usually show their age, settlement cracks have appeared at cornices and joints, and exterior trims begin to fade. A planned first repaint, with flexible fillers in the cracks and washable finishes on the walls, sets the house up for the next decade. Townhouse and apartment exteriors may need owners corporation approval for colour changes.
Builder finishes
Some estates have design guidelines for exterior colours, so check them before changing the outside of the house. More on painting in Molonglo Valley.

Wright painting FAQs
Is ten years too early to repaint?
Not if the paint is worn. Builder-grade finishes often show their age by then.
Do you paint apartments in Wright?
Yes.
Will the settlement cracks keep coming back?
Flexible fillers greatly reduce it. If cracks are widening, check with a builder first.
