Painting Bulimba

Suburb Guide

As the Brisbane River makes its first bend towards the heart of the CBD, you’ll find the suburb of Bulimba. This family friendly suburb is beautiful and leafy, and its proximity to the CBD and vibrant restaurant and retail scene make it just as appealing to professionals and singles.

Cool Queenslanders

Bulimba is one of the many areas in Brisbane where residents have had the sense to preserve the architecture of its traditional Queenslanders. Being close to the river, these homes are able to make use of the river breeze coming from the northern and western aspects of the suburb, drastically reducing cooling costs in the summer.

Whilst some of these homes are showing their age, the transformation potential with restoration and repainting is remarkable. Certainly, colour scheme has a massive impact on the look and feel of the home and is one of the most effective ways to modernise your Queenslander. Lighter colours are always effective in making the house feel cool and fresh, and in Bulimba, blues are a popular adjunct to the fashionable neutral white colour schemes of Queenslander homes.

This house in Parry St, Bulimba, shows beautiful execution of this colour scheme by the team at Darryl Hathway Painting and Decorating. Light blue is paired with white accents of the rails, windows and awnings. Set against the turquoise tones of the pool and the vibrant greens of a well-manicured garden, the result was stunning.

River Views

With two sides of the suburb river-adjacent, Bulimba has its fair share of waterfront homes. These homes lend themselves to river access for recreation as well as spectacular views across to Teneriffe and Newfarm with the buildings of the city stretching above.

Living close to the water, however, does expose your paintwork to harsher environmental conditions. Wind conditions are generally more severe and the salt content of the river at Bulimba does increase the rate of paintwork erosion. Protecting your investment with a high-quality paint will not only look great and last longer, but will also act as a shield to protect the underlying structure of the home. By the same token, if you are noticing aging and breakdown of your existing paintwork it is important to act quickly to avoid further costly damage to your property.

The team at Darryl Hathway Painting and Decorating worked closely with the homeowners and restored the property by repairing damaged timber elements before recoating and painting.

Boutique Apartment Complexes

Bulimba, like many inner-city suburbs, has undergone a recent period of development, with the addition of numerous elegant boutique apartment complexes. Whilst not yet in as much of an oversupply as other areas of Brisbane, the competition for lucrative tenancies is still high. This is especially true considering the rental yield of units in this area averages only 4.2%, lower than many other Brisbane suburbs.

Investors and owner-occupiers alike understand the value of well-maintained exterior paintwork. A fresh and inviting façade can increase rental occupancy and resale value, whilst the use of the right products can help prevent damage such is render cracking.

This complex in Bulimba had issues with render cracking prior to service. Problem areas were identified in property assessment by our dedicated body corporate manager and access was achieved using our in-house scaffolding systems, scissor lift and Zeus spider boom. Existing damage was repaired before painting with a protective exterior membrane.
