Vale Street, Bundamba

Winner 2023, Domestic Single Dwelling Interior Exterior Repaint under $40K

The owners of Vale Street believed their peeling old Queenslander could be turned from a knockdown to a knockout home and they were right.

They engaged S & D Painters to help revive this once forgotten house into a stunning new home both inside and out. Our team repaired every imperfection to make the exterior weatherboards and woodwork look like new and executed the high contrast scheme with precision to achieve a beautiful, high-quality and long-lasting finish, transforming the home both inside and out.


Our team safely removed the lead-based paint, stripping much of the timber back to bare boards. This project required meticulous preparation and high-level heritage painting and restoration skills to renew badly damaged surfaces to an as-new, high-end finish.


For the interior, we restored and repainted VJ panelling and walls, original doors and decorative woodwork, water-damaged ceilings and leadlight window frames. We spray-finished the VJs in low sheen, and used acrylic gloss enamel on the woodwork for a beautiful, smooth hard-wearing finish.

The Old Bank, Harrisville

Finalist 2023, Best Heritage Restoration Domestic

Take a walk down memory lane and learn a little about The National Australia Bank. It was built by Mr James Madden for £493 under the management of Ipswich architect Mr Henry Edmund Wyman , it would take 12 weeks to erect the building. The new building was completed & open for business by the 21st of July 1906 , it was described as having a banking chamber , a manager's room , a up to date strong room and one bedroom , the bedroom being occupied by the manager Mr Kidner & his family.


There were also substantial stables , buggy shed & outhouses.

The new building was created by Architect Henry Wyman , Contractors - James Madden (Wood work) , Mr G. Williams (Strong-room) , Hanby & Dangerfield (Plumbing) & Mr F. Salisbury (Painting).


In 1911 Architect Henry Wyman advertised for tenders to repaint the Royal Bank , he received the following tenders - F. Barker £65 to be done in 4 weeks , Wallis & Minett £62 to be done in 4 weeks , W. F. Wirth £56 18s 4d to be done in 5 weeks & Reilly brothers £43 to be done in 7 weeks.



The new owners of this stunning 117 year old building purchased their new home in 2021 and engaged S & D Painters to give their old girl a new look. The entire exterior was thoroughly cleaned and carefully prepared with a high attention to detail to ensure a perfectly smooth finish throughout, including the removal of loose paint and debris, priming, filling and sealing. Two coats of Dulux Weathershield Exterior were then applied to ensure a long-lasting finish.

 

Our interior painting work included ceilings, walls, skirtings, doors and frames and concrete block work around the original bank safe. Our crew painted all interior walls and ceilings to an exceptional finish using techniques, including fine sanding and multiple topcoats. A high-level of technical skill and attention-to-detail was needed to cut in around custom cabinetry and fittings and achieve a beautiful finish free of imperfections.

 

Our client was extremely satisfied with the detail taken by our diligent team to transform their home to be like “new” and with beautiful street appeal.
