What to know locally in Polokwane
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.
