🛠️ 4 Days of Prep, 10 Years of Peace of Mind
When we arrived at this Caulfield home, it was clear the exterior had been weathered by time. The weatherboards were dry and brittle, and rot had set in across several window frames — not uncommon for homes of this age, but definitely not something a quick coat of paint would fix.
We spent the first 4 days getting the home ready — replacing damaged boards, scraping back flaky paint, treating rot, and making sure every surface was sound before even opening a tin of paint.
From there, we brought it back to life with a crisp Dulux combo:
🎨 Tranquil Retreat for the weatherboards
🎨 Lexicon Quarter on the trims and windows
🛠️ Scope:
Full exterior repaint
Minor weatherboard replacement
Window frame repairs
10-day total turnaround
Now it’s protected from the elements, and the finish will hold strong for another decade — a transformation that goes well beyond the surface.
