Fernhill's elevated position close to central Queenstown makes it a popular established suburb with a mix of character homes, 1970s-80s builds, and some newer renovations. We're experienced with Fernhill's diverse housing stock, from original weatherboard cottages needing sympathetic restoration to brick and plaster homes requiring modern updates. The suburb's proximity to town means many properties are owner-occupied family homes where quality and attention to detail matter, along with some rental properties requiring efficient turnarounds.
Painting Challenges in Fernhill
Fernhill's elevation means properties on the southern slopes can be cold and shady, requiring moisture-resistant primers and proper drying time between coats. North-facing properties get intense sun requiring UV-resistant coatings. Many older homes have original weatherboards or cedar that need careful preparation, rot repair, and breathable paint systems. Some properties have dated interior color schemes that owners want updated to modern neutrals—we're skilled at color consulting to modernize while respecting the home's character.
