Painting services in Potchefstroom: local notes
Potchefstroom landlords book painters for student digs and flats around the campus in the December and mid-year holidays, so plan early. Older homes near the town centre and along the Mooi River need careful preparation of timber sash windows, broekie lace and corrugated roofs, and old gloss should never be dry sanded. Family homes in Baillie Park and Van der Hoff Park ask for exterior repaints and roof painting.
Potchefstroom walls, roofs and weather

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.
