The finish is everything

Painting and building finishes for Canberra spaces made to last.

01 / The work

A long view of the details

Years working across the ACT

From a single room that needs making good to a full commercial finish, we bring the same careful eye to the preparation, the edges and the final coat. No job too large or small.

Residential & commercial

“They took the time to get the surfaces right before the paint went on. You can see the difference every day.”

Five disciplines / one considered finish

What we put our hands to

For homes, workplaces and projects anywhere between. We visit the site, understand the surfaces and quote the work.

01 / Surfaces

Painting

Interior and exterior painting, from preparation and patching to clean edges and a consistent final coat. We assess the surfaces before setting out the scope and timing.

02 / Foundations

Plastering

Repairs and fresh finishes for walls and ceilings. We make good the substrate, finish the surface and allow for drying before it is ready for paint.

03 / Structure

Carpentry

Practical timber work and finishing details, scoped around the existing space. A site visit lets us check measurements, materials and how the new work meets the old.

04 / Envelope

Rendering

Exterior surface preparation and rendering for a durable, even appearance. We review the wall condition and access before quoting the stages of work.

05 / Above

Roofing

Roofing work for residential and commercial properties. We begin with an on-site look so the quote reflects the roof, its access and the work required.

From the A.C.T

Made good. Made to last.

Good finishing begins long before the visible coat. It is in the surface beneath, the line where two materials meet and the decision to do the preparation properly.

For 58 years in the ACT, Performance Painting & Decorating has worked across properties of all kinds. Our approach remains straightforward: turn up professionally, look closely and take care with the work.
