Professional painting for owners corporations and strata-managed properties — common areas and façades repainted with minimal disruption to residents, fully insured and on schedule.
Call Jimmy — 0432 077 782Entry lobbies, hallways, corridors, stairwells and shared amenities repainted with durable, low-maintenance finishes.
Rendered walls, eaves, balconies and building exteriors prepared and coated to protect the structure and its value.
Detailed scopes, transparent pricing and insurance documentation so committees and strata managers can approve works with confidence.
Scheduled repaint and maintenance programs across single or multiple buildings, staged around residents.
Body corporate painting keeps apartment blocks, unit complexes and townhouse developments presenting well and protects shared property against wear and weather. We repaint common areas and façades with hard-wearing systems built for high-traffic spaces.
Committees and managers need clarity and confidence, so every project comes with a detailed written scope, transparent pricing, $10 million public liability insurance and a clear schedule — delivered with minimal disruption to residents and backed by a 5-year workmanship guarantee.
A body corporate can't approve a painting job the way a homeowner approves one. A committee needs something they can put in front of owners and defend — a scope specific enough that nobody can reasonably ask "but what does that actually cover," a price that doesn't move once the vote is cast, and proof of insurance that satisfies whatever the owners corporation's rules require. We write the quote for that meeting, not just for the job.
That means breaking the scope down by area rather than quoting the building as one lump figure — lobby, stairwells, façade, car park. A committee weighing priorities against a budget can then see where the cost actually sits. It can stage the work, or split it across financial years if that is how the money has to work. It also means the insurance documentation is ready before anyone asks for it, rather than chased down after the meeting.
Closing a whole building down for the length of a repaint isn't realistic when people live and work in it, so staging is the default approach on strata property, not a special request. Most projects run wing by wing or level by level, which keeps at least one entry, one stairwell and the car park accessible at any given time rather than forcing every resident through a single remaining exit.
For complexes with more than one building, the same logic extends across the site. The works can run as one continuous staged program. Or they can be split building by building against separate budget approvals — whichever suits how the committee wants to fund it. Either way the schedule goes out early enough for the committee to circulate it to owners and tenants before scaffolding arrives, not after.
Common property access equipment gets chosen for the building, not defaulted to whatever's easiest to book. A three-storey walk-up with a narrow driveway rules out a lot of what would work on an open site with clear boom reach, and scaffolding that makes sense on a low-rise façade isn't practical — or affordable — run up a high-rise tower. Scaffolding, elevated work platforms and scissor lifts each suit different heights, façade shapes and site access, and the right one is worked out at the quote stage, not improvised on the day.
That assessment happens before the price is finalised. Access equipment is one of the biggest cost variables in a multi-storey repaint. Get it wrong and you either blow the budget, or turn up on site to find the booked equipment cannot reach the work. We also account for whatever the owners corporation's bylaws say about common property access, so the equipment plan does not clash with the strata rules at the last minute.
Yes. We work directly with owners corporations, body corporate committees and strata managers across Melbourne. You get a detailed quote, a written scope of work, insurance documentation and a clear schedule. That gives a committee what it needs to approve the job and plan around it.
We paint all common property. That means entry lobbies, hallways and corridors, stairwells, car parks, external façades and rendered walls, balconies, eaves and shared amenities. We can quote it as one full repaint, or as a staged maintenance program across several buildings.
We plan the work around residents and tenants. Access ways stay safe and open. We stage the work so entries and stairwells remain usable. Low-odour products go on in occupied buildings. And the schedule goes out in advance, so nobody is caught out.
Yes. Jetblack Painting carries $10 million public liability insurance and follows proper site safety and access procedures. We provide insurance certificates, safe work documentation and detailed scopes before work begins. Committees and building managers only have to ask.
A committee needs three things: a written scope broken down by area, a clear price, and our insurance documentation. With those, it can move from discussion to decision without a second round of questions. We write the quote so it goes straight onto an AGM or committee agenda. It is itemised enough that owners can see what is included before they vote.
Yes. On occupied strata property, staging is standard rather than an exception. We usually work wing by wing or level by level, so entries, stairwells and car park access stay usable throughout. Nothing shuts the whole building down for the length of the job. For multi-building complexes we can quote one staged program, or building by building — whichever suits the committee's budget and timing.
It depends on the building's height and the site. Scaffolding, elevated work platforms or scissor lifts — chosen for what that façade and those access conditions actually need, not a default. Site access, boom reach and any strata bylaws about common property all go into the quote up front. There is no surprise equipment cost once work starts.
Through the committee or strata manager. We give them a schedule to circulate to owners and tenants ahead of time: which areas are affected, and when. Nobody gets caught out by scaffolding or a closed stairwell. Low-odour products are standard in occupied common areas, and access ways stay safe and usable rather than closed off.
