Burwood Highway climbs through a small commercial strip towards the ranges, with the railway station serving as a gateway. Older weatherboard houses and brick veneer homes occupy the streets off the highway, many on steep sites with undercroft garages or timber decks. Some dwellings are modest cottages. Others are larger family houses cut into the slope. Tourist-oriented shops and a few non-residential buildings break the housing, but apartments in any number are not a feature. Upper Ferntree Gully is in the Knox area.
Highway-facing fronts collect grime, while the bush side of the same house grows moss on weatherboards and deck joists. Steep cross-falls make plumb ladder work difficult, and some elevations are only safely reached from below. Flashings at retaining walls and undercroft entries fail and stain the masonry. Mixed cladding, brick on the lower level and timber above, needs the junction kept flexible so movement does not crack a continuous film. For Upper Ferntree Gully, use interior painting when the work is inside. We walk the outside before pricing exterior painting. Nearby pages: Ferntree Gully and Lysterfield.
Interior painting
Interior painters in Upper Ferntree Gully
Detached houses on hillsides are the norm. Older cottages may still have small divided rooms facing the street plus a later living area built out on stumps towards the view. Larger homes were often designed with the living level above a garage, so the extension question is a deck or a widened balcony rather than a ground-floor addition. In Upper Ferntree Gully we list the rooms and the surfaces before we book the work.
