Limitless Painting & Decorating has been painting across Sydney since 1988 — 38 years, now second generation and still family-run. Strata and body corporate work is a regular part of what we do, and townhouse and villa complexes and low-rise blocks are where we do our best work — from a single set of common areas through to a full exterior repaint.
Painting a strata or body corporate property is a different job to a private home, even when the surfaces are similar. Residents still need to come and go, common areas can't be out of action for long, and the strata manager or committee needs a clear, detailed quote before anything is approved.
We scope the work properly up front — what's being painted, what products, what the timeline looks like — so there are no surprises at committee meetings or during the job itself, and we coordinate access and timing to keep disruption to residents to a minimum.

Working with strata managers and committees
Most strata jobs are decided by a committee, not by one person, and the decision usually has to wait for a meeting. That shapes how we quote. You get a written scope that spells out which buildings and surfaces are included, the preparation involved, the products and systems we'd use, and how long the work should take — the level of detail a committee needs to compare quotes properly and put a motion up.
If a quote needs to hold until the next AGM or committee meeting, tell us when that is and we'll work to it. We're happy to answer questions from the strata manager or the committee directly before the vote, and to put anything that changes in writing rather than leaving it as a conversation on site.
Once work starts, we keep the manager in the loop on progress and on anything we find once the surfaces are opened up — render cracks, rust staining, failed sealant or previous coatings that aren't holding. On older buildings that's common, and it's better raised early with a written variation than absorbed quietly and argued about later.
Painting around people who live there
The hardest part of a strata repaint usually isn't the painting. It's that a few dozen households need to get to their front door, park their cars and go to work while it happens. We plan access around the building rather than expecting the building to work around us.
In practice that means staging the work so only part of the complex is affected at a time, giving residents notice before a stairwell, entry or shared walkway is disrupted, and keeping equipment contained instead of spreading gear across the whole site. Common areas get scheduled so they're usable again as quickly as possible, and we clean up at the end of each day rather than at the end of the job.
Security matters too. In buildings with fobs, gates or intercoms we work to whatever the access arrangements are, and we don't leave shared doors propped open for convenience.
Licensed, insured and documented
We hold NSW painting licence 491545C and carry public liability and workers compensation insurance. Strata managers generally need both on file before work starts, along with our ABN (78 692 430 247) — ask and we'll send current copies through.
We also work regularly with builders and project managers on larger residential jobs, which is the same documentation and coordination discipline a strata job needs — scope in writing, insurances current, and site left in a state the next trade can work in.
Strata painting across Sydney
We take on strata and body corporate work across Sydney, including townhouse and villa complexes and low-rise blocks on the Northern Beaches and in the Eastern Suburbs — the coastal buildings we know best.
That coastal exposure matters more than people expect. Salt air, strong UV and weather off the water are hard on render, rendered blockwork, balustrades and exposed timber, and they punish a repaint that skipped preparation. Buildings within a few streets of the beach need more thorough washing, sealing and priming than an inland complex of the same age, and the right system on the exposed elevations. It's the difference between a repaint that holds up and one the committee is discussing again in four years.

Tell us about your projectCommon questions
How does strata painting work?
We work directly with the strata manager or body corporate committee to scope the work, prepare a written quote for approval, then coordinate access, timing and communication with residents throughout the job.
Do you paint common areas and stairwells?
Yes. Common areas, stairwells, entry lobbies, hallways and shared facilities are a core part of our strata work. We schedule these carefully to minimise disruption to residents.
Can you provide a quote for strata committee approval?
Yes. We provide a detailed written quote covering scope, surfaces, products and timeline — structured to support body corporate approval processes.
How do you minimise disruption to residents during a strata job?
We plan access and timing around the building, give residents clear notice of when shared areas will be affected, and keep worksites tidy and contained rather than spreading the job across the whole property at once.
How much does body corporate painting cost in Sydney?
Strata and body corporate costs vary widely depending on the building's size, number of units, common areas involved and surface condition. We scope the building in person and provide a detailed written quote suited to committee approval, rather than a ballpark figure.
Do you paint strata properties on the Northern Beaches and in the Eastern Suburbs?
Yes. The Northern Beaches and Eastern Suburbs are a core part of where we work, along with the wider Sydney area. Coastal buildings need more thorough preparation than inland ones, because salt air and UV are hard on render, balustrades and exposed timber.
Are you licensed and insured for strata work?
Yes. We hold NSW painting licence 491545C and carry public liability and workers compensation insurance, and we can provide current copies along with our ABN for the strata manager's records.
How long does a strata repaint take?
It depends on the size of the complex, how much of it is being painted and the condition of the surfaces — a set of common areas is a very different job to a full exterior. We give you a timeline as part of the written scope before the work is approved, and we stage larger jobs so the whole property is never out of action at once.
How experienced are you with strata and body corporate work?
We've been painting across Sydney since 1988 — 38 years, now second generation and still family-run — and strata and body corporate properties are a regular part of that work, alongside private homes and jobs for builders and project managers.
