How Our Strata Painting Service Can Add Value to Your Building!
Strata paint work is often considered to be in a different class than residential, and even commercial, painting. Indeed, the skills and equipment needed to complete complex strata jobs are quite different from those needed for interior and exterior domestic paint work. Strata work involves painting the exterior and interior of large buildings and putting in place scaffolding to paint at great heights.
Investing in strata painting is beneficial to a building in the short term and long term.
Signature Painters offer ongoing strata maintenance & repairs which is hugely important when you’re dealing with such a large building, but ensuring that the painted surface remains in a healthy state can also help protect the building the long run.
Unbeknownst to many, we don’t paint homes and buildings purely for aesthetic reasons. In fact, paint acts as something of a protective covering and can work to prevent damage from pests and moisture that can lead to corrosion. It also reduces the impact of the often harsh Australian sun, which can do significant damage to many timber surfaces.
Lastly, fungi and other substances are less likely to build up on a painted surface, thus giving the building a cleaner look and also preventing the decay of wood that can occur as a result.

Master Bedroom Painting Humans spend about a third of their lives asleep, so it’s safe to say that you probably spend quite a bit of time in your master bedroom. If you don’t wake up feeling relaxed and at ease in your bedroom, it might be time to consider changing things around. We are ready to help you transform your space and turn your master bedroom into a room that you will happily return to at the end of your day. If you are looking for painting ideas, we are here to share some of our favorites with you. TYING THE LOOK TOGETHER Does your master bedroom have a bathroom attached? What about a walk-in robe? The paint colors don’t necessarily need to be the same in each of these spaces; however, they certainly should complement one another and tie the look together. Choosing an accent color for one room and bringing that same color into the next room creates a natural flow from one room to the next. CHOOSING THE MOOD You’ve probably heard it time and time again, but your color selection will change the way your rooms feel. Brighter colors, such as red and yellow, add vibrancy and energy to a room. If you are worried about having too much of a good thing, select an accent wall to make bright and colorful while making the other ones more neutral. This can keep your bedroom relaxed enough for you to rest peacefully, yet still bring the energy you’re searching for into the space. BE GUIDED BY YOUR PASSIONS No matter what your favorite color may be, whether it’s green, yellow, blue or red, you can find a way to incorporate it into your bedroom space. Green and blue are particularly great for bedroom space, especially with a white trim. These colors keep the space soft and calm while still creating a vibrancy that will feel inspiring and uplifting. Blue specifically is a natural choice for the bedroom, and it creates a beautiful background for any classic furniture pieces or artwork. If you are put off by a dark blue, that’s perfectly alright! There are plenty of lighter tones for those who dislike anything too dark or bold. No matter what your tastes, there is a blue that will fit in perfectly into your master bedroom. For bolder colors, such as red, you need to exercise caution. They can still be used, of course, but they must be approached strategically in order to not overpower the room. Red is a stimulating color, as are yellow and orange. Try choosing a muted version of your favorites, or use them in the space behind your headboard or over large windows to give yourself breaks in the color. We can guide you when it comes to color selection, so don’t hesitate to ask! CONTACT US If you are ready for a new look in your home, it’s time to call or message us today !
At Painters Choice, we care about giving you the best painting service possible for your home. That’s why we are here to answer any and all of the questions you might have about having the exterior of your house painted. When you are looking for house painting professionals who can deliver a job well done in a timely manner, there is no better team to call than Painters Choice! Read on to learn more and have your questions answered: When Should I Repaint The Exterior Of My House? That depends on what your home is made from! If your exterior siding is wooden, it should be recoated every five years or so. Stucco can be painting less frequently, assuming that the exterior is still in good condition and free of any cracks. If your siding or shingles are stained, that should be touched up every three years to keep the wood sealed and prevent the color from turning to gray. Of course, if you are just looking for a new color to change up your home, that’s a great reason to repaint as well! WHAT ARE THE STEPS OF PAINTING THE EXTERIOR OF MY HOME? When we do exterior house painting, we have three crucial steps: Scrape, sand, and wash – We want to be sure that all loose and failing paint is removed. We also want to wash the house thoroughly to prevent any dirt from getting trapped beneath our new layer of paint. Prime and seal – This is where we protect the home by masking off the windows and other fixtures to ensure that paint doesn’t go anywhere it isn’t supposed to. Then, we apply primer. If we need to seal any cracks or uneven surfaces, we also use this step to give our team the smoothest and easiest canvas possible. Finish coat – This is the color! We have several methods we use to ensure that each surface is evenly coated and that overall product is one you can be proud to show off. HOW SHOULD I CHOOSE THE COLOR? This is really up to you, but we suggest looking at any pre-existing qualities about the house that you don’t really want to change. For example, the way your driveway looks, the color of your roof, and any patio you might have can determine some good guidelines for choosing your color. You will also want to see what colors are prevalent in your neighborhood to see what fits well. If you have any interesting architectural features of your home that you want to enhance, you can choose colors that match well together.

Planning For Your Nursery When it comes to preparing for your new little bundle of joy to arrive, make sure you trust the professionals at Painters Choice to do the painting portion for you! We are ready to help you find the perfect color choice and give you the nursery you’ve always dreamed your little one would have. Here are some of the ways you can prepare for your nursery other than just the paint color choice. CHOOSE A THEME Not only will a nursery theme help you select the wall colors, but it will also help you plan your decorations for the room, as well as give those who attend your baby shower some suggestions on what they can get you to match the theme! For example, if you want a Mickey Mouse themed nursery, you could choose to put a decal of the castle on the wall and find red accents to go in the room. If you are interested in a global theme, you can find an airplane mobile and hang maps on a cool, baby blue wall. Plus, the more you enjoy the theme, the more you will enjoy being in the nursery with your little one. ART MAKES A DIFFERENCE If you want a softly colored wall so as to not draw too much attention, we think that’s a great idea. However, if you still want color, find some colorful posters and frame them! The artwork doesn’t necessarily need to be themed for babies – in fact, anything colorful or interesting will do! That might mean a geometric poster you find online or even a favorite movie poster. Your baby won’t really notice, so feel free to get creative with it! GRAY IS GOOD We don’t mean that you need to paint the walls gray, (although, that is certainly an option) but we do know that finding gray furniture can be helpful when it comes to stains and aging. Sure, that white armchair looks great in your nursery, but how will it look in a year or so after it has been stained and caught its fair share of messes? Choosing gray or other neutral colors can keep the room looking light while still allowing for stain prevention. GENDER DOESN’T LIMIT COLOUR OPTIONS Whatever color you want in your baby’s nursery is up to you! There is no reason to strictly adhere to any rules in regards to gender or any other nursery tradition. A baby boy doesn’t mean you need to choose blue – choose lavender, green, orange, whatever you would like! Your baby won’t know the difference, and it’s most important that you enjoy the atmosphere as you go in and out of the nursery. When it comes to preparing your nursery for your little bundle of joy, it’s time to call Painter's Choice on 0410 002 016 .
