Strata & Body Corporate
Strata & Body Corporate Painting Canberra
Painting for common areas, exteriors and roofs of strata and body corporate properties across Canberra and the ACT — coordinated with strata managers and committees, and scheduled to minimise disruption to residents.
Why Choose Us
Why Choose Prolux for Strata Painting
We provide painting for strata and body corporate properties across the ACT, including common areas, exterior façades, fences and shared outdoor spaces. Unlike most strata painters, we also handle roof painting — so your roof and building exterior can be maintained by the same team instead of two separate contractors.
Roof & exterior painting by one team
Most strata painters don't do roofs, and most roofing companies don't do full building exteriors. We do both.
Coordinated with strata managers & committees
Clear communication and resident notice built into scheduling, not an afterthought.
Minimal disruption for residents
Work planned around resident access, common area usage and building activity.
Clear, itemised quotes
A full written price covering the agreed scope, before any work starts.
Fully insured local painters
Strata work covered from start to finish, giving committees and owners confidence.
Worth Knowing
Why Strata Painting Requires a Different Approach
Painting a strata or body corporate property isn't the same job as painting a single home, even when the surfaces involved are similar. A single owner can make a painting decision on their own; a strata property usually needs sign-off from a committee or the full owners' corporation, along with awareness of the strata plan's by-laws around external appearance and colour changes. Getting this process wrong — starting work without proper approval, or failing to give residents adequate notice — can create real friction between a painting contractor and a committee, regardless of how good the finished paintwork is.
Access is also more complex. A single-home job usually just needs the owner's cooperation; a strata project may need to work around dozens of residents' schedules, shared parking, lift access, and common areas that can't simply be closed off for a week. Because of this, staged work, clear resident communication, and flexibility around access are as much a part of a good strata painting job as the paint itself.
Beyond appearance, well-maintained common areas and exteriors also protect a building's asset value over time — peeling or faded paintwork in shared spaces is often one of the first things prospective buyers or tenants notice when assessing a strata property, and can affect how the building is perceived even when individual units are well kept.

Common Area Painting
Interior painting for lobbies, stairwells, hallways and shared entry points — the spaces every resident and visitor sees first, and often the areas most affected by daily wear and heavy foot traffic.
Exterior Building Painting
Full building exterior painting, restoring appearance and protecting against Canberra's UV exposure and weather over time — render, cladding, brickwork and trim.
Roof Painting for Strata Properties
Painting and restoration for common-property roofs, using coatings suited to Colorbond, tile or metal roofing — coordinated as part of the same project as your exterior painting.
Fences, Gates & Shared Outdoor Areas
Painting for boundary fences, gates, car park structures, letterbox banks and shared outdoor facilities — smaller items that collectively affect a property's overall presentation.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from strata committees, owners corporations and property managers.
Get a Free QuoteCost depends on the size of the property, scope of work (common areas, exterior, roof, or a combination), and current surface condition. We provide a free, itemised quote after a site assessment.
The body corporate or owners corporation is generally responsible for maintaining and painting common property, which typically includes shared areas, building exteriors, and the roof. Specific responsibilities can vary by strata plan, so committees should confirm this against their own by-laws.
Most strata painting projects need committee or owners' corporation approval before work begins, particularly for exterior colour changes. We provide clear, written quotes designed to make this approval process straightforward to present at a meeting.
Common areas and exteriors are typically repainted every 7 to 10 years, though this varies with building age, exposure to weather, and how well previous coatings have held up.
Yes. As a provider that handles both roof and building exterior painting, we can quote and schedule roof and exterior work together for strata properties, which is often more efficient than engaging separate contractors.
We schedule work around building access and resident activity, provide advance notice through the strata manager or committee, and work through common areas in stages where needed rather than closing access all at once.
Yes — free, no-obligation quotes for common areas, exteriors, roofs and shared outdoor spaces.
We service Canberra and the ACT, including Belconnen, Gungahlin, Tuggeranong, Woden, Molonglo Valley and Central Canberra, as well as Queanbeyan, Goulburn and Yass Valley in NSW.
This depends on the scope of work and your strata plan's requirements, but we typically recommend providing residents with written notice well ahead of any work affecting shared access, parking or common areas. We can help prepare this notice as part of project scheduling.
Yes. Work can be broken into sections — for example, one stairwell or building section at a time — so residents retain access to common areas throughout the project rather than facing a full closure.
