What to know locally in Potchefstroom
Landlords in Potchefstroom often pick a hard-wearing low-sheen acrylic in one standard light colour for student flats, so marks wipe off and touch-ups match. For Victorian homes, traditional colour schemes with contrasting trims and enamel on timber suit the style. Roof paint in red, green or grey is common on old corrugated roofs in the older suburbs. Ikageng and Promosa homes often get bright, warm exterior colours.
Potchefstroom walls, roofs and weather
Potchefstroom is an old university town on the Mooi River, and its painting work reflects that history. Older homes near the centre include Victorian and early twentieth century houses with corrugated roofs, timber sash windows and decorative verandas, many now used as student digs. Student houses and flats around the campus are repainted often, usually during the long holidays. Suburbs like Baillie Park and Van der Hoff Park have face brick and plastered family homes, and newer estates are growing on the edges. Summers are hot with storms and some hail, winters are cold and frosty. Landlords, homeowners and heritage owners all ask for painters.
