The Brief

Originally built circa 1938, this stunning Tudor style home received a new lease on life when our clients undertook a renovation and extension project in 2018. A brand new double garage was added at the front of the home, and a large extension was adjoined to the rear of the property, perfectly blending old and new. We were requested to paint both the new additions to the home, as well as selected existing internal and external areas.

What We Did

We really enjoyed painting the new garage to tie in with the existing Tudor style timber battens, and gave the original battens to remainder of the home a refresh as we went along. The front entry and walkway were all repainted, bringing the front door, brick window sills and timber in this area from white to black to add some extra ‘pop’.

The entire rear extension was painted outside and in, along with additional internal painting works to the rooms that directly adjoin to the extension. We’ve since completed repainting works to remaining rooms inside the existing section of the home, giving it the same fresh feeling as the extended area!

THE BRIEF

This was our second time to visit and work on this beautiful queenslander home. Our clients originally sourced us for the painting of their newly renovated master suite, and now required the remainder of the home’s interior to be refreshed.

WHAT WE DID

As with most traditional queenslander homes, this home is filled with iconic timber fretwork, fanlights, and VJ boards. In order obtain the greatest level of coverage as well as a smooth and consistent finish, we used spray techniques to paint all fanlights, fretwork and architraves. Spraying is an ever growing part of our trade that allows us to get right into intricate areas and small nooks without leaving visible brush lines or runs. This said, there is a time and a place for spraying, and it certainly doesn’t replace the traditional aspects of our trade. All preparation and the painting of all walls and doors was completed by hand, as was the caulking of all skirting boards to the timber floor to create crisp lines, and to help prevent draughts and creepy crawlies.

THE BRIEF

Our clients have lived in their beautiful Queenslander for over 20 years, and had always maintained it in it’s original state with dark timber architraves and timber panelling, paired with butter yellow walls. Now after a new look, we were tasked to refresh the interior of the home with a crisp and fresh white finish. After just a few weeks, the team were able to really transform the home by creating a much greater sense of space with a light and airy feel, just in time for summer!

The Brief

We were tasked to complete all aspects of painting for this brand new home, working with the builder and other trades as the project progressed.

What We Did

We kicked this project off by working on the external of the home, and boy, did we have some colour changes! The client had a vision in mind for the home, however after seeing full walls painted and not feeling that the original colour selection was  quite right, they made a few changes on the way to land on the colours you see here today. We’re glad they did, as the contrast between the dark and light looks sensational! Our team worked with perfection to cut in the contrasting colours against each other, and it certainly paid off. Upon completion of the external the team headed inside, creating bright open spaces for a lucky family to move into and enjoy.

The Brief

We were requested to complete painting works to all internal and external surfaces of this home, including the coating of external timber feature walls and ceilings, and beautiful blackbutt doors.

What We Did

We kicked off this project by bringing life and colour to the external of the home, completing all work to the eaves, matrix board and cladding. The team then had the pleasure of coating the front and rear timber balcony walls and ceilings, adding a really unique feature to the home.

Inside, we spent a few days high in the sky completing works to the lofty ceiling that features above the living area. The remaining walls and woodwork were finished in crisp white paint, and the doors were glossed with a jet black finish.

THE BRIEF

Our clients had recently decided to give their home some added street appeal, and had newly built a carport, hardwood fence and gatehouse. Our team prepared and painted these new features, tying them in beautifully with the existing home.
