Painting in Pretoria
Pretoria's painting work is shaped by its jacaranda suburbs, its government buildings and its weather. Arcadia, Brooklyn, Waterkloof and Lynnwood have face brick and plastered homes from the middle of last century, many with tiled roofs and steel window frames, while the city centre and Sunnyside have sandstone and face brick government buildings and older flats. Highveld hail is a real concern: summer storms crack roof tiles and damage roof coatings, and owners often repaint after insurance repairs. The sun is strong and dry winters are good for painting. Homeowners, landlords near the universities, body corporates in the east and public building managers all ask for painters.
Typical enamel and gloss paint requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: fresh gloss on front doors, window frames and the burglar bars
- Body corporates and estates: matching enamel on all unit doors, gates and balcony railings in the estate
- Landlords and sellers: washable enamel on doors and skirtings that take knocks from tenants
