Strata Is Different
Strata Painting Requires a Different Approach
Strata painting in Sydney is not the same as painting a house. When you are managing an apartment complex, unit block or multi-residential building, every decision involves multiple stakeholders — the owners corporation, strata manager, building manager, tenants and residents all need to be considered.
The challenges are real: access to scaffolding and common areas, noise restrictions, parking impacts, resident complaints, compliance documentation and the need for clear, consistent communication throughout the project. A poorly managed strata painting contractor creates more problems than it solves.
Prisma Coatings specialises in strata painting across Sydney. We work with strata managers, owners corporations and apartment complex committees to plan every aspect of the job — from access staging and resident notification through to surface preparation, professional application and a clean handover. Our team understands the approval processes, the documentation requirements and the importance of getting the job done without disrupting the people who live in the building.
Whether you are managing a small unit block in the Inner West or a large apartment complex painting project on the North Shore, we bring the same structured, professional approach to every job.
Strata Services
Strata Painting Services We Provide
From full facade repaints to common area touch-ups, we cover the complete scope of strata painting for apartment complexes across Greater Sydney.
Common Area Painting
Hallways, lift lobbies, entry foyers and shared spaces repainted with minimal disruption to residents. We use low-odour, durable coatings suited to high-traffic environments.
Car Park Painting
Car park walls, columns, line marking and surface coatings refreshed to improve presentation and safety. Work is typically completed after hours to avoid impacting residents.
Balcony Painting
Balcony floors, balustrades, soffits and fascias repainted with appropriate exterior-grade systems. We assess surface condition and specify the right primer and topcoat for durability.
Fire Stairs Painting
Fire stair walls and ceilings refreshed to comply with building standards and keep common areas looking presentable. We work around building access requirements and stairwell usage.
Pool Area Painting
Pool surrounds, plant room walls and wet area surfaces coated with moisture-resistant systems. Suited to the damp, chlorine-heavy environments found in apartment complexes.
Render, Walls & Trims
Rendered surfaces, external walls, timber trims, metal doors and window frames refreshed across the full building envelope. We assess adhesion and apply the right surface prep before coating.
Maintenance Repainting Programs
Ongoing scheduled maintenance painting for strata managers and building owners. We keep your property looking maintained year-round with a consistent, reliable service program.
Our Process
Our Strata Painting Process
Every strata project follows a structured process designed to meet OC requirements, manage access and minimise disruption to residents from first contact through to final sign-off.
01Step 01
Free Site Inspection
We visit your building to assess surface conditions, access requirements, scope and any areas of concern. This allows us to provide an accurate, detailed quote rather than an estimate.
02Step 02
Owners Corporation Proposal
We prepare a clear, itemised proposal suitable for presentation at an OC meeting. This includes scope of works, timeline, access plan, colour options and all costs — no hidden extras.
03Step 03
Scheduling & Resident Communication Support
Once approved, we work with your strata manager to develop a schedule that minimises disruption. We can assist with resident notice templates and provide progress updates throughout.
04Step 04
Surface Preparation & Protection
All surfaces are cleaned, repaired, sanded and primed before any paint is applied. Common areas, cars and landscaping are fully protected with drop sheets and masking throughout.
05Step 05
Professional Paint Application
Our strata painters apply premium, commercial-grade coating systems suited to each surface type — exterior render, metal, concrete or timber — using professional tools and techniques.
06Step 06
Final Inspection & Sign-Off
We walk the completed building with your strata manager or OC representative. Every section is reviewed and any touch-ups are addressed before we provide formal completion sign-off.

Strata Painting Case Study: Chatswood Building Repaint
Property Type
Multi-Level Strata Building
Location
Chatswood, Sydney
Scope
Exterior + Common Areas
Scheduling
Staged Weekend Program
The Challenge
A multi-level residential strata complex in Chatswood needed a professional full-building repaint. The facade had faded significantly, balcony balustrades were peeling and the common areas were showing years of wear. With fully occupied units and strict noise requirements, the owners corporation needed a painting contractor that could plan carefully and communicate clearly with residents throughout.
Our Approach
Prisma Coatings conducted a detailed site inspection, prepared an OC-ready proposal and worked with the strata manager to develop a staged schedule that minimised disruption. Each phase was communicated to residents in advance. Surface preparation included high-pressure cleaning, crack repairs and priming before premium exterior coatings were applied systematically across each elevation.
The Outcome
Significantly improved building presentation and street presence
Better long-term surface protection for facade and balconies
Smooth, staged scheduling with advance resident notice each phase
Professional finish signed off by the strata manager at completion
Minimal disruption to occupants throughout the entire project

FAQs
Strata Painting Sydney – Frequently Asked Questions
How much does strata painting cost in Sydney?
Strata painting costs depend on the size and height of the building, the scope of work (facade only, common areas, car parks, balconies), current surface condition and access requirements. A small unit block repaint may start from around $8,000, while a large multi-storey strata complex can range from $30,000 to $150,000 or more. Prisma Coatings provides free site inspections and detailed, fixed-price quotes so the OC knows exactly what is included before approving any work.
How long does strata painting take?
Timeline depends on the scope, building size and access staging required. A small block common area repaint may take 3 to 5 days. A full exterior repaint on a multi-storey building may be staged over 4 to 8 weekends, depending on scaffold access, weather and resident requirements. We provide a clear project schedule before work starts so the strata manager and OC can plan accordingly.
Do you work with owners corporations?
Yes. Working with owners corporations is a core part of what we do. We provide OC-ready proposals with itemised scopes, timelines, colour options and detailed costs. We understand that painting decisions often need to go through a meeting and approval process, and we structure our documentation accordingly. We are happy to liaise directly with the strata manager or attend OC meetings if requested.
Can you paint after hours or around residents?
Yes. After-hours and weekend availability is a standard part of our strata service. Many strata painting projects require work to happen outside of peak hours — particularly car parks, fire stairs and common areas. We coordinate access timing with the strata manager and building manager, and provide residents with advance notice before each work session.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Prisma Coatings holds a current NSW painter's licence and carries full public liability insurance. Certificates of currency are available on request and meet the documentation requirements of strata managers, owners corporations and building managers.
Can you provide SWMS documentation?
Yes. Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS) are available for all strata painting projects. This is particularly important on multi-storey buildings, scaffold-access projects and anywhere that working-at-height or resident safety requirements apply. We provide SWMS as standard on strata jobs and can tailor the documentation to your building's specific requirements.
Do you offer a workmanship guarantee?
Yes. We stand behind the quality of our work. All Prisma Coatings strata painting projects include a workmanship guarantee. If any issue related to our application or preparation arises after completion, we return to address it at no additional cost. We also recommend premium paint systems that carry manufacturer warranties for exterior applications.
