Victorian terraces and weatherboards in Northcote come with their own maintenance list.
Northcote's housing stock is heavy with Victorian and Edwardian weatherboard and brick terraces, many under heritage overlay, which means repairs often need a careful, like-for-like approach rather than a quick patch.

With so much of Northcote sitting under heritage overlay, typical jobs lean towards timber repairs on original weatherboards and window frames, feature-wall and trim painting on period homes, and the odd cracked tile in older bathrooms that were never designed for a full retile.
