What to know locally in Midrand
Modern Midrand homes favour white, grey and charcoal schemes, often with textured finishes set by estate rules in Waterfall and Kyalami. Flat roofs and parapets on these homes need waterproof paint or a membrane rather than ordinary wall paint. For complexes, a sheen acrylic makes dirty walls easier to clean. Hairline cracks from settlement should be filled with a flexible filler before painting.
What gets painted in Midrand
Midrand is one of Gauteng's newest areas, built in waves since the 1980s. Its painting work centres on new and young estates, sectional title complexes and office parks. Waterfall, Carlswald and Kyalami have large estates with plastered homes, textured finishes and strict colour rules, while Vorna Valley, Noordwyk and Halfway House have many complexes now due for their first or second full repaint. Office parks and warehouses along the N1 corridor need commercial painting and floor coatings. Highveld hail and summer storms test roofs and parapets, and new plaster cracks as buildings settle. Developers, building contractors, body corporates and facilities managers ask for painters as often as homeowners.

- Body corporates and estates: one roof colour and system across every block, ordered through the body corporate
