House Painters in Corio

Kanooka Drive is the Corio house-painting record. The notes describe that house as a typical 1970s Corio home, in good condition for its age. The work was the rooms, the stained timber, a timber-lined bathroom ceiling, and a short list of exterior trim.

The City of Greater Geelong describes Corio as a large suburb, spreading from the Shell oil refinery west into the residential streets and north along Corio Bay. The refinery and the bay explain where the suburb sits. The Kanooka Drive notes do not mention either as a cause of coating failure. The wider service is house painting.

The Kanooka Drive interior was repainted throughout: ceilings, walls, skirtings, architraves and window frames. Walls were Antique White USA in low sheen. They received two top coats. The first was sprayed. The second was sprayed and back-rolled.

The skirtings, architraves and window frames had been stained. They were prepared and finished in the same Antique White USA colour, in an oil-based semi-gloss. The timber-lined bathroom ceiling was sanded and given an oil-based undercoat before the top coats. See interior house painting.

The Kanooka Drive exterior was selected trim. Fascia, gutters, eaves and the front door were prepared and painted in Tasmanian Builders White, using Taubmans All Weather. Eaves and the quad mouldings beside them were degreased first. The notes describe a build-up of grease and grime, which is a common reason an older eave will not hold new paint if it is coated over.

The notes do not say the brick walls were painted, and they do not record salt or industrial fallout. A full exterior, or a deck, would be a different scope. This project did not include a deck. Exterior work is set out on the exterior house painting page.
