Rendering in Strathdale.

A contemporary, render-first suburb.

Strathdale and neighbouring Kennington are where a lot of Bendigo’s larger modern family homes are. Owners here want a clean, contemporary look, which is why most of our Strathdale work is full acrylic render over brick veneer and blueboard, finished in an off-white, grey or charcoal tinted texture coat. The flexible acrylic system is also the right technical choice on the reactive clay under these streets.

Bigger homes, bigger walls.

The family homes around Strath Village and the reservoir tend to be larger single and double-storey builds with more wall area, gables, and feature elements. A bigger job means scaffold and access cost matter more, and a double-storey render runs higher per project than a single storey. We measure the full wall area, including gable ends and returns, so the quote is the real number rather than a surprise. A typical single-storey Strathdale render sits around $11,000 to $14,000; a double-storey closer to $16,000 to $22,000.

Feature walls and modern finishes.

Strathdale homeowners often want more than a plain wall, a smooth trowelled feature panel at the entry, a contrasting charcoal render band, or a foam-clad feature wall for a sharp, dead-flat modern face. We do these as part of the render package. Where an existing rendered home just needs freshening, a texture re-coat updates the colour without the cost of re-rendering.
