What's included in our property maintenance service

Between-tenancy make-goods

Touch-ups, patching and repaints scoped backwards from a fixed re-letting date rather than quoted as an open duration.

Repairs and water damage

Plaster, cornice and nail-pop repair, plus stain-blocking primer so a water mark does not bleed back through the new coat.

Exterior upkeep

Washing, mould treatment and spot recoating on the weathered elevations, before a full repaint becomes the only option.

Common areas and facades

Staged work for owners' corporations that keeps residents with access to their own front door throughout.

Why Melbourne chooses Jetblack Painting for property maintenance

Most painting businesses are set up for the big job — the full interior, the whole exterior. A managed property rarely needs that. It needs the hallway made good before the next tenant, the ceiling stain that came back after the roof was fixed, the fence that has gone grey on the street side. Those jobs are small individually and constant in aggregate, and Jetblack Painting takes them on as ongoing work rather than filler between larger projects.

Jetblack Painting is a 5-star rated Melbourne business with 18+ years of experience, $10 million public liability insurance, and a 5-year workmanship guarantee on every project, regardless of its size.

For Property Managers and Agencies

The brief on a managed property is different from an owner-occupier repaint. Turnaround and durability beat colour ambition: a washable low sheen outlives a fashionable matt, and a finish that survives the next tenancy is worth more than one that photographs well and marks within a month.

For agencies with several properties we work to a standing scope, so each job does not need requoting from scratch. That means consistent pricing, one point of contact, and a tradesperson who already knows the buildings — usually worth more than a marginally cheaper one-off quote.

We report back when something found on site changes the picture, before doing the extra work rather than after it appears on an invoice.

For Body Corporates and Owners' Corporations

Committees are buying predictability. Scope agreement up front, access arrangements that respect occupied units, and staged scheduling are what determine whether a building programme finishes on time. The painting itself is the straightforward part.

Quotes are itemised so a committee can compare like for like, and the work can run to a maintenance schedule across the year rather than a single annual shutdown that disrupts every resident at once.

What Gets Maintained

Between-tenancy make-goods and touch-ups, plaster and cornice repair, water damage made good and sealed, exterior washing and mould treatment, timber window frames and sills, fence and gate recoating including rust treatment, and concrete sealing for driveways, paths and garage floors.

Timber window frames and sills are worth singling out. They take standing water and the most direct UV, so they fail years before the wall around them does. Catching them at the spot-repair stage rather than the full-replacement stage is most of what planned maintenance is for.

Enquiries are answered within 24 to 48 hours and written quotes follow in the same window. Call Jimmy on 0432 077 782.

Property Maintenance FAQs

What does property maintenance painting cover?

Everything that keeps a building presentable and weathertight between full repaints: touch-ups and make-goods between tenancies, plaster and cornice repairs, water damage and stain blocking, exterior washing, timber and window frame repair, fence and gate recoating, and concrete sealing. It is planned upkeep rather than one large job.

Do you take on ongoing maintenance for a portfolio?

Yes. For agencies and owners' corporations with several properties we work to a standing scope so each job does not need requoting from scratch. You get consistent pricing, one point of contact and a tradesperson who already knows the buildings, which is usually worth more than a marginally cheaper one-off quote.

How quickly can you attend a maintenance job?

Enquiries are answered within 24 to 48 hours and written quotes follow in the same window. For a between-tenancy make-good with a fixed re-letting date, tell us the date at the outset and we scope the work backwards from it rather than quoting a duration and hoping it fits.

Can you work in occupied buildings?

Routinely. Occupied work is brushed and rolled rather than sprayed, staged so residents keep access to their own entrances, and cleaned down at the end of each day. In apartment buildings we sequence common areas and stairwells so no one is cut off from their front door at any point.

Do you handle insurance and water damage repairs?

Yes. Water-damaged ceilings and walls need the cause resolved first, then the substrate dried, the damage made good and the stain blocked with a sealing primer before any topcoat. Painting over a water stain with standard paint simply lets it bleed back through, which is the most common reason a repair reappears weeks later.

Is maintenance work covered by the same guarantee?

Yes. Every job carries the same 5-year written workmanship guarantee and the same $10 million public liability cover, regardless of size. A half-day make-good is guaranteed on the same terms as a full exterior repaint.

Which Melbourne suburbs do you cover for property maintenance?

We work across Bayside, Kingston, Glen Eira, Stonnington, the southeast and the Mornington Peninsula from our base in Mordialloc — including Brighton, Bentleigh, Caulfield, Mentone, Sandringham, Cheltenham, Keysborough and surrounding suburbs.
