    Painting a Rental Property — A Tweed Heads Landlord's Guide

    Rental repaints are a different game — durability and washability beat trend colours every time. Here's what we spec for Tweed landlords.

    How often to repaint a rental

    Most Tweed Heads rentals benefit from an interior repaint every 5–7 years and an exterior touch-up every 8–10. Repainting between tenancies — even just the high-traffic zones — usually pays for itself in higher rent and faster re-lease.

    What to spec on a rental

    Forget trend colours. Spec for durability, washability and easy touch-up.

    • Walls: low-sheen washable acrylic in a neutral warm white
    • Ceilings: flat ceiling white (cheap and uniform)
    • Trims and doors: water-based enamel in semi-gloss
    • Keep a 4L tin of each colour on site for tenant touch-ups

    Tax and depreciation notes

    Repaints on investment properties are generally deductible as repairs (not capital works) provided you're maintaining, not improving — but check with your accountant. We can supply itemised invoices that distinguish repairs from improvements.
