What Should You Know Before Starting a Strata Painting Project?

Why Strata Painting Matters More Than You Think

Strata painting isn’t just about appearances — it protects your investment. From high-rise apartment exteriors to common hallways and parkades, strata painting projects affect dozens, sometimes hundreds of residents. When done right, it extends the life of the building, boosts curb appeal, and prevents expensive repairs down the line.

Unlike residential painting, strata painting must satisfy multiple stakeholders, adhere to strict by-laws, and minimize disruption. That’s why choosing the right team matters. At Integrity Painting, we don’t just paint — we manage your risk and reputation.

The Real Cost of Cutting Corners on Strata Painting

You might save money upfront with a budget painter, but you’ll pay for it later — in peeling paint, tenant complaints, and maintenance calls. Low-quality strata painting leads to faster deterioration, water intrusion, and a rundown appearance that can damage property values.

We’ve seen it happen. A property manager hires a general contractor with no strata experience, the job gets delayed, the scaffolding sits for weeks, and residents grow frustrated. Meanwhile, the board receives angry emails. Professional strata painters avoid this spiral with tested systems, top-tier coatings, and scheduling that works for everyone.

What’s Included in a Professional Strata Painting Job?

A true strata painting plan goes far beyond a coat of paint. Here’s what to expect when you work with pros:

  • Full site inspection and scope development
  • Detailed project proposal for board approval
  • Safety plans and access systems (scaffolding, boom lifts)
  • Color consultation to match existing branding or modernize
  • Surface prep, power washing, and minor repairs
  • High-durability coatings made for Winnipeg’s climate
  • Clear resident communication and disruption minimization

At Integrity Painting, we walk your property, speak with your board, and ensure our strata painting plan meets your community’s standards and budget. Every job includes accountability, timelines, and follow-up.

Interior vs. Exterior Strata Painting: Know the Difference

While exterior strata painting requires more logistics and equipment, interior projects carry their own challenges. You’re working around residents, stairwells, elevators, and tight common spaces. Poor ventilation, tenant allergies, and noise issues can become major pain points if not handled professionally.

That’s why we use low-VOC paints for interior strata painting, schedule during off-peak hours when possible, and clearly communicate with residents about timelines. Your job is to keep people happy — ours is to make sure the painting helps, not hinders.

What Property Managers Should Ask Before Hiring a Strata Painter

Strata painting companies are not all created equal. Before you hire one, ask:

  • Do you have experience with multi-unit buildings?
  • Are you fully insured and licensed?
  • Can you provide references from similar strata projects?
  • How will you communicate with residents?
  • What warranties do you offer?

At Integrity Painting, we’ve built our reputation by doing things the right way. We’re transparent, proactive, and detail-obsessed. Our commercial clients stay with us year after year because we make their jobs easier — not harder.

Why Color Choice Isn’t Just Cosmetic in Strata Painting

Strata painting isn’t only about protection — it’s about perception. A dated color scheme can make your building look neglected, even when it’s structurally sound. Meanwhile, modern colors elevate the look and attract higher-quality tenants and buyers.

Our color consultants help strata councils and property managers choose timeless, elegant palettes that increase perceived property value. We also provide digital mockups to help visualize changes before paint hits the wall.

The Winnipeg Factor: Why Local Experience Matters

Our Winnipeg climate isn’t easy on buildings. Harsh winters, freeze-thaw cycles, and prairie sun exposure all take a toll. That’s why strata painting in Winnipeg requires more than national experience — it needs local insight.

We know which products perform best here, which materials deteriorate fastest, and how to plan projects around unpredictable weather. We’ve painted everything from small walk-ups to large condo towers across the city.
