Browse 12 ways to give an existing single- or double-storey bungalow a new face, then see what each change involves and which ones need approval.
📍 We serve KL, Selangor & Putrajaya.
A detached bungalow is the one Malaysian house where all four sides, the roof and the boundary wall are yours to redesign: there is no twin and no terrace row to match. That freedom is also the cost driver, because every change covers more wall, more roof edge and more access than on a terrace or semi-D. This gallery is about making over a bungalow that already stands: a new roof line or parapet, cladding, a verandah, new windows and gate, lighting, or a careful restore of an older house. Changes to the facade, roof line or boundary wall beyond the approved design need council approval. Use the style filter to narrow the 12 concept designs below.
Each design below is an illustrative concept render of an existing bungalow after a facade makeover, grouped by style. Tap any image to enlarge it, and open the details for what each change suits, the finish and what to watch for. Every card links to the ClickBina guide that covers the work behind that look.

the exterior repaint process →These are illustrative concept designs created to show makeover options for existing bungalows. They are not completed ClickBina projects and they are not architectural designs for a new house. We renovate bungalow fronts in KL and Selangor, and your house is assessed and quoted to its own walls, roof, access and council rules.

Start from the house you have. A bungalow already has an approved outline, a roof form and a boundary wall, and most makeovers keep that outline and change what sits on it: the colours, cladding, windows, fascia, gate and lighting. The bigger moves, such as a parapet, a verandah, a roof light or a glass stair tower, change the outline itself and turn a cosmetic job into an approval job.
| Change | What it does | Approval to check |
|---|---|---|
| Repaint, new colour | Changes the mood of all four sides | Usually cosmetic |
| New fascia and gutters | Sharpens the roof edge and stops overflow | Usually none |
| Cladding on part of the house | Adds texture and shade to one area | Usually none for cladding alone; check strata or gated rules |
| New window frames | Sets the style line | Usually none for like-for-like openings |
| Parapet, verandah, roof light | Changes the outline and roof line | Council approval |
| New boundary wall or gate | Matches the frontage to the house | Council approval if it changes the approved wall |
| Your bungalow | Usually works | Watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Single-storey, older pitched roof | Dark roof with white walls, verandah, stone entrance | Old roof timbers and insulation |
| Double-storey, 1990s | Parapet with box frames, weatherboard upper floor | Roof drainage behind a parapet |
| Corner or large plot | Side deck terrace, lighting on every side | The extra sides add access and paint cost |
| Older colonial-style house | Careful restore with white trims and shutters | Hidden rot and termites in timber |
| Deep single-storey with a dark core | A glazed roof light over the hall | Structural work and approval |
This gallery is about the whole outside of a bungalow. Each part has its own gallery or guide: the house exterior design gallery for terrace and semi-D fronts too, the house roof design gallery for roof forms and colours, the main gate design gallery for gates and boundary walls, and the exterior cladding guide for WPC, fibre cement and ACP boards.
Inside, the semi-D and bungalow interior design guide covers living halls, kitchens and bedrooms for larger landed homes, so the outside and inside can be planned as one job.
ClickBina's exterior repaint guide puts an exterior repaint of a semi-D at RM6,000 – RM12,000, with scaffold or rope access adding RM800 – RM2,500 (indicative Klang Valley ranges for 2026). A detached bungalow has four exposed sides, so expect its repaint to sit above the semi-D range rather than inside it. The fascia guide lists repairing rotted or cracked fascia and soffit boards at RM800 – RM3,500.
Cladding, verandahs, parapets, glass towers, gates and lighting are quoted per job, because the wall area, structure, product and approvals differ from house to house. Ask for every item to be priced separately so you can phase the makeover: repairs and fascia first, then paint and cladding, then the gate and lighting.
We renovate the outside of existing bungalows in KL and Selangor: repainting, cladding, new window frames, fascia and gutters, roof work and gates. Where a change needs council approval, we tell you before the job is priced. WhatsApp us your job details for a quote: single or double storey, which sides you want to change and the look from this page you like. We reply within the hour with next steps, and the price we agree is a flat price with no hidden charges.
About the images: every image on this page is an illustrative concept design generated to show a makeover option for an existing bungalow. Captions describe what each render shows. RM figures are quoted unchanged from the ClickBina guides named above, indicative Klang Valley ranges for 2026.
