Painting contractors in Illovo, Johannesburg
Ready for a new colour or a finish that needs attention? We help with interior, exterior and boundary-wall painting in Illovo, Johannesburg. The existing surface guides preparation and paint choices. Send a few photos to start; for a townhouse or apartment, we can discuss shared surfaces and contractor access where relevant.
How we can help
- Interior room and wall painting.
- Exterior and boundary-wall coating.
- Specified surface preparation, repairs and primer.
- Named finish coats with protection and cleanup agreed.
Planning the work in Illovo
Label private-unit and shared walls separately in photos and approximate measures. Record the existing colour/finish and any complex specification before selecting a new system, and show defects that need preparation rather than covering them.
Confirm authority and access for communal/exterior surfaces. Ask for written prep, primer, supplied paint, coats and shared-area protection, with active damp or movement addressed separately. Retain product and colour codes at completion.

Getting started
Tell us what needs attention at your Illovo property. These details help us understand the job:

Before work begins
Inspect the substrate and resolve the cause of damp or movement before covering it. Labour-only and complete coating packages have different inclusions; do not add preparation twice where it is already included.
After the work
Check the agreed surfaces, colour, finish and cleanup. Retain the product names and colour codes, with any excluded defects or follow-up repairs recorded.
Questions before you book
Is paint included in the rate?
It depends on the selected scope. Confirm paint supply, primer, coat specification and preparation in the written quote.
Can damp patches simply be painted over?
The moisture source needs assessment first. A new finish does not establish that the underlying problem has been resolved.
Can an Illovo resident approve painting a shared wall?
First identify whether the surface belongs to the unit or is maintained by the body corporate, landlord or managing agent. Obtain the relevant approval and any colour/finish rule for communal or exterior areas before booking. Show the contractor route and protection needed through shared spaces; a private-room quote does not authorise common-property work.
