Things to consider before you book
The local conditions that shape the job, the best time of year to book, and what to sort out before you choose a painter.
Strata Area
Fitzroy is predominantly apartments and units — body corporate approval is often needed before external work can start. Check with your owners corporation early in the process.
Body Corp Sign-Off May Be Needed
Fitzroy is predominantly apartments and units. Body corporate approval is typically required before painting work affecting common property, shared wiring, or building systems. Check with your owners corporation early — approval can add weeks.
Check Your Lease Before Booking
Over half of properties in Fitzroy are rentals. If you're a tenant, check your lease before booking painting work — some jobs need landlord approval. End-of-lease services are in high demand here, so book well ahead.

Worth knowing: getting two or three quotes is the simplest way to land a fair price — and it costs you nothing.
