Old Weatherboard? No Worries.

How We Gave This Geelong West Home a Fresh Start

Geelong West is full of character — and full of weatherboard homes just begging for a second chance. This latest project? Overgrown, neglected, and suffering from serious weatherboard rot. But it had great bones — and we brought them back to life.

🌿 Jungle to Gentle Garden

The backyard was completely engulfed. Ivy had taken over. Bricks were hidden. And the front yard? You could barely see the fence, let alone the house.

Enter Jamie, our garden wizard, who cleared it all back — revealing pathways, edges, structure, and that beautiful old facade.

🔨 Sean’s Weatherboard Wizardry

This house had serious rot — nearly 40% of the boards were beyond saving. But Sean? He was on FIRE. Replacing board after board, sealing and prepping like the pro he is.

That back wall alone deserves its own medal.
We don’t patch. We fix it properly — and set homes up for their next 50 years.

🪚 The Result? Function. Structure. Breathing Room.
