Strata Painting Services in Melbourne
Body corporate painting is the painting of buildings and areas owned in common by an owners corporation, such as facades, hallways, lobbies, stairwells, car parks and fences. Because these areas are shared, the work involves more than painting: committees need clear quotes to compare, residents need notice and safe access, and the job needs to fit within the building's maintenance plan.
Crown Finish Painters works with owners corporation managers, committees and building managers from the first inspection through to handover. As commercial painters Melbourne strata managers can rely on, the team handles access equipment, resident notices, staging around entries and lifts, and coatings matched to each surface. Projects can include full exterior painting of the building and interior painting of common areas.
Every strata painting quote is written and itemised, making it easy for committees to review, compare and approve.

Body corporate painting, inside and out
From a lobby refresh to a full building repaint, here's the strata painting work the team typically covers.
Two ways to repaint a strata building
On a shared building, poor planning and communication cause more problems than the painting itself.
The rushed way
- Vague quotes that are hard for the committee to compare
- Residents left without notice of works or access changes
- Entries and car parks blocked without warning
- Cheaper coatings that need repainting sooner
The Crown Finish way
- Clear, itemised quotes prepared for committee approval
- Resident notices issued before each stage begins
- Access to entries, lifts and parking kept open
- Durable coating systems that last longer between repaints

Body Corporate Painting, common questions
Owners corporation managers and committee members usually ask the same questions before a building repaint. Here are clear answers.
What is body corporate painting?
Body corporate painting is the painting of areas owned in common by an owners corporation, such as building facades, hallways, lobbies, stairwells, car parks, fences and railings. The work is usually approved by the committee or owners corporation manager and paid for from the building's maintenance funds.
How often should apartment buildings be painted?
Most apartment building exteriors need repainting every 8 to 10 years, while high traffic common areas such as hallways may need attention every 3 to 5 years. Sun exposure, weather, the surface type and the original coating all affect how long paint lasts.
How is the cost of strata painting worked out?
Strata painting is quoted per project, based on the size and height of the building, the areas included, surface condition and repairs, access equipment, the coating system and staging around residents. After an inspection, Crown Finish provides a free, written and itemised quote ready for committee review.
Do you work with owners corporation managers?
Yes. The team works directly with owners corporation managers, committees and building managers on quotes, approvals, scheduling and resident communication.
How do you manage residents during painting?
Residents receive notice before each stage, access to entries, lifts and parking is kept open where possible, and work areas are clearly marked for safety.
Can you paint multi storey buildings?
Yes. Multi storey buildings are painted using scaffolding, elevated work platforms or other suitable access methods, with safe work procedures in place.
Do you paint individual apartments too?
Yes. Owners can book painting inside their own apartment separately. See the apartment and unit painting page for more.
