Painting in The Gap
Rooms, ceilings, feature walls and exterior touch-ups, with the patching and prep done properly first.
Split-level homes in The Gap have tall stairwells, raked ceilings and plenty of exterior timber, which makes painting a bit more involved than a standard lowset. The bush-facing sides of these homes also pick up mould and damp, so surfaces get cleaned and treated before any paint goes on.
The Gap is about fifteen minutes from my base in Ferny Hills, over the hill via Settlement Road.

Homes in The Gap
The suburb grew through the 1960s and 70s with brick and timber split-level homes on large sloping blocks, many with elevated timber decks and carports. Blocks close to Enoggera Reservoir and the bushland edge are shaded and damp, which drives a lot of the maintenance work: gutters, mould, rot in exposed timber and paths that turn green every wet season.
Working on the hill
Elevated decks and steep yards need the right approach to access and safety. I've done plenty of hillside work across the north-west and price each job on its own terrain rather than a flat rate.

Access: high ceilings, stairwells and two-storey exteriors
Full two-storey exteriors and roofs are better suited to a painting crew with scaffolding. I'll tell you straight if your job is one of those.
