What drives strata & rental cost
Scale & number of units
More units and shared areas mean more surface area, but volume can bring the per-unit rate down.
Access & heights
Multi-storey blocks, stairwells, balconies and car parks need scaffolding or elevated work.
Staging around residents
Working safely around occupants, with signage and clear access, adds planning and time.
Condition & prep
Weathered render, peeling common-area walls and high-traffic scuffs all add preparation.
Colour consistency
Matching existing scheme colours across a complex keeps the finish uniform and compliant.
Durability spec
Rentals and common areas benefit from tougher, washable, UV-stable systems that last between repaints.
For landlords & property managers
Between tenancies, speed and durability matter most. We use neutral, broadly appealing colours and hard-wearing, washable finishes so the property shows well and the paint survives the next tenancy. A quick, well-prepared turnover repaint protects the asset and reduces how often you need to repaint. For single-home pricing, see the house painting cost guide, or our rental property painting service.
How strata jobs are quoted
We inspect the property with the strata manager or owner, document the scope and products, and set out the staging so residents keep safe access throughout. You get one fixed written price, broken down by area, and a schedule that minimises disruption. As a registered, insured WA contractor (Licence 7956), we handle the compliance and keep the common property looking consistent. See our strata painters Perth service.
