Benoni walls, roofs and weather
Benoni is known as the City of Lakes, with homes around Lake Benoni, Rynfield Dam and other pans, and old mine land between suburbs. Farrarmere, Northmead and Lakefield have many larger face brick and plastered family homes from the mid 20th century, while Rynfield and Crystal Park include newer complexes, with smallholdings further out. Daveyton has many brick homes. Damp near the lakes can lead to rising damp and mould, red dust blows off old dumps in winter, and Highveld hail hits roofs in summer. Requests are often for full exterior repaints, roof painting on old tiles, damp treatment and wood finishes on lakeside decks, from homeowners, landlords and complexes.
Typical exterior paint requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a weather-proof coat for the house walls, boundary wall and garden walls
- Landlords and sellers: a hard-wearing neutral exterior that keeps a rental or sale property looking cared for
- Body corporates and estates: the same colour and grade across every block, ordered for the whole repaint
