Strata
Painting

MJK Painting works closely with strata managers, body corporate committees, and owners’ corporations throughout the entire process. They provide detailed written quotes and scope-of-work documents suitable for body corporate meeting presentations, attend site meetings where required, provide regular progress updates, and assist with resident communication plans. Their goal is to make the approval and execution process as straightforward as possible for all stakeholders involved.

MJK Painting employs a staged, zone-by-zone approach so the entire building is never impacted at once. They use low-odour, low-VOC Dulux products in common interior areas, schedule noisy surface preparation during agreed daytime hours, and ensure pedestrian access to building entrances, lifts, and car parks is maintained at all times. Residents receive advance notice of work affecting their area, and the site is cleaned and cleared at the end of each working day.

Most strata buildings in Sydney benefit from a full exterior repaint every 7–12 years. Buildings in coastal locations — such as along the Northern Beaches or Eastern Suburbs — may require repainting more frequently (every 5–8 years) due to accelerated paint degradation from salt air and UV exposure. Regular annual or biannual maintenance inspections with minor touch-ups can extend the life of a full repaint and protect the building’s asset value between major painting cycles.

MJK Painting uses Dulux Premium exterior-grade paint systems on strata facades, chosen for their excellent UV resistance, waterproofing properties, and long-term colour retention. For common interior areas such as corridors and stairwells, commercial-grade interior paints with enhanced abrasion resistance are used to withstand high foot traffic. Product selection is always matched to the specific surface type, building location, and exposure conditions.

MJK Painting provides a comprehensive written quote following a thorough on-site inspection. The quote includes a full breakdown of: all areas to be painted, surface preparation requirements (pressure washing, crack repairs, caulking), paint specification (product, number of coats), estimated project duration, and a staged work plan. All documentation is formatted to support body corporate review and approval processes. The initial quote and site inspection are provided at no cost.

Yes. MJK Painting can work with strata managers to develop an ongoing maintenance schedule that includes periodic inspections, minor touch-ups, and timely repairs to painted surfaces before small issues escalate into costly problems. A proactive maintenance programme helps preserve the building’s appearance, protects the underlying structure, and reduces the overall lifecycle cost of maintaining the common property to a high standard.
