Melbourne Strata Painting works exclusively on common property — apartment blocks, townhouse complexes, mixed-use buildings and the shared parts of the schemes that own them. We are not a residential painter who also does strata; the buildings, the access, the coating systems and above all the decision process are different enough to be a separate trade. Most of the difficulty in a strata repaint is not on the wall. It is in getting a committee of owners, a strata manager and a few hundred residents to a decision they can all live with, and then delivering against it without the scope quietly moving. That is why our quotes are built to be compared against our competitors' rather than to look cheapest, why provisional sums are shown separately, and why we will sit in an AGM and explain a scope we might not win. We cover Greater Melbourne, from the CBD and Docklands towers through the middle-ring walk-ups to the townhouse complexes further out. Tell us the building and the stage you are at — early budgeting, three quotes, or a maintenance plan review — and we will tell you what the work actually involves.

Questions, answered
Do you only work on strata and body corporate buildings?
Yes. Common property is what we do — apartment blocks, townhouse complexes, mixed-use buildings and the shared areas of owners corporation schemes. We do not take on single-dwelling residential work, which is why our scoping and documentation are built around committee decisions rather than a homeowner's.
What does a strata repaint typically cost in Melbourne?
It ranges widely with building size and access. A small townhouse complex exterior commonly sits somewhere around $12,000 to $20,000, small blocks in the $8,000 to $25,000 range, and multi-storey apartment buildings run from roughly $100,000 into the $200,000s. Facade work is often quoted per square metre. The only reliable number is one written against an inspected scope for your specific building.
How often should our building be repainted?
Most Melbourne strata buildings repaint external surfaces every seven to ten years, though elevations weather at different rates and it is common for one or two to need attention well before the rest. Interior common areas usually run a longer cycle unless traffic is heavy.
Can we spread the cost across several years?
Often, yes. Staging the work by elevation or by element lets the cost come from annual contributions instead of a special levy. It does cost more overall because access and mobilisation are paid more than once, and we set that premium out clearly so the committee is choosing with the number in front of it.
What do you need from us to quote?
Enough to inspect the building properly — the address, access to common areas, and any recent condition or engineering reports. Knowing what stage you are at helps too: early budgeting for a maintenance plan needs a different document from a committee about to compare three quotes.
