A big share of our work around Sunnybank and Sunnybank Hills is properties going to market. If there is a photographer booked and a campaign date locked in, tell us when you call — the order we do things in changes completely.
After the tight inner-city suburbs, Sunnybank is a relief to work in. Larger blocks, room to park, driveways wide enough to actually get the surface cleaner onto, and roof lines that are big but walkable. That shows up in the quote — the same size job here generally prices lower than it would in Camp Hill, purely on access.
Most of the housing is 1970s through 1990s low-set brick veneer with either a concrete tile or Colorbond roof, plus a steadily growing number of newer two-storey builds. Concrete tile is the one that stains hardest: once the factory surface coating wears off, moss and lichen take hold and the roof reads as filthy from the street even when the tiles themselves are fine. Colorbond is a different job again — it cleans up extremely well, but it needs the right approach or you end up with streaking.
The pre-sale work is the specialty here. Real estate photography is unforgiving: a clean roof and a clean driveway change the first photo of a listing more than almost anything else you could spend the same money on. What does not show up in the photos is the side path nobody walks on, so we will tell you honestly where to spend and where not to bother.
Timing matters. Ideally we are there a few days before the photographer, not the morning of — concrete needs time to dry out evenly, and a driveway photographed while still damp looks patchy.
Same era of housing, same roof material as most of Sunnybank Hills.
