Polokwane notes on wall paint & coatings
Warm neutral colours, greys and off whites are popular on new houses around Polokwane, often with a darker roof. Strong summer sun fades deep colours faster, so ask for a UV resistant exterior acrylic. Textured coatings are used on new plaster to hide small cracks. After hail, check tiled and corrugated roofs for damage before any roof paint goes on. Paint prices are usually quoted per 20 litre tin.
Painting in Polokwane
Polokwane is growing quickly, and new estates, townhouse complexes and family homes keep painters busy on the edges of the city in Bendor, Flora Park and further out. Summers are hot with strong sun and afternoon thunderstorms that can bring hail, while winters are dry, mild and good for exterior work. Much of the housing is face brick or plastered brick with tiled or corrugated roofs, and many new homes in Seshego and Mankweng are painted after they are built. Older town houses and businesses near the CBD need repainting and roof work. Developers, body corporates, landlords, shop owners and families finishing a new house ask for painters and paint most.
Typical paint prices requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: comparing paint prices for a room or the whole house before buying tins
- Builders and developers: pricing paint per house or per phase on a development, at trade rates
- Body corporates and estates: bulk pricing on 20 L tins for a planned repaint of every block
