Full weatherboard repaints are one of the most cost-effective ways to extend the life of a Nundah home. We pressure clean, scrape and sand failing coatings back to a sound substrate, spot-prime bare timber, fill and caulk every joint, then apply two premium finish coats for an even, durable result.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Nundah housing stock do you paint most?
Nundah 4012 is a mix of pre-war workers cottages, post-war weatherboards, 1970s walk-up units and newer townhouse infill. Cottage restorations and unit-block common areas make up most of our Nundah work.
Do you paint the Nundah walk-up unit blocks?
Yes — small 6–12 unit walk-up blocks off Sandgate Rd and Buckland Rd are regular Nundah jobs. Common stairwells, external render, balcony ceilings and carport soffits, with full body-corporate documentation.
How do you handle Character-overlay workers cottages in Nundah?
Pre-1946 Nundah cottages fall inside the Traditional Building Character overlay. Exterior colours sit within a heritage-appropriate palette — Dulux Heritage or Porter's, with painted sample boards before commitment.
Can you paint occupied units without disrupting residents?
Yes. Occupied unit-block work is scheduled around resident access — cut-in outside working hours where required, and drop-sheeting on shared walkways lifted at end of each day.
Do you do the Nundah village small commercial fit-outs?
Regularly. Cafes, small retail and hospitality along Nundah village are scheduled after trading hours so the space is ready for opening.
What's the price band on a Nundah cottage exterior?
Post-war weatherboard cottages usually land $10k–$18k. Pre-war Queenslander cottages with lead-safe prep and heritage trim sit $15k–$25k.
