Painting Shared Areas with Less Disruption
Common areas shape the first impression of a building and experience constant movement from residents, visitors, staff, deliveries and maintenance contractors. Scuffs, marks, patched sections and worn finishes can quickly make entrances, corridors and stairwells look tired.
A1 Painting Group provides planned common area repainting for strata and managed properties across Sydney. We inspect the surfaces, clarify access and protection requirements, and prepare a scope covering the areas and finishes agreed for the project. Work can be divided into practical stages so building access can be managed throughout the repaint.
For broader common-property and building repainting, view our Strata Painting Sydney service.
Common Areas We Paint
The final scope is confirmed after inspection and can include individual areas or a coordinated repaint across multiple levels.
Entrance Foyers and Reception Areas
Painting for entry walls, ceilings, doors, frames, skirting and selected architectural details, with careful protection of flooring, intercoms, mailboxes and nearby fixtures.
Corridors and Hallways
Repainting of shared corridors and residential hallways where consistent colour, clean edges and durable, maintainable finishes are important.
Lift Lobbies and Landings
Painting around lift entries and shared landings, coordinated around resident movement, lift access and protected building surfaces.
Stairwells and Fire Stairs
Preparation and repainting of stairwell walls, ceilings, doors, frames and handrails where included in the agreed scope. Access and safety requirements are reviewed before work begins.
Shared Rooms and Facilities
Painting for common rooms, shared laundries, storage areas, amenities and other communal spaces within managed buildings.
Doors, Frames, Trims and Handrails
Detailed repainting of high-contact components to give shared areas a consistent finish. Product selection is matched to the substrate and approved scope.

Preparation and Protection Before Painting
A durable, consistent result starts before the finish coats are applied. Surface condition and preparation requirements are assessed during the onsite inspection and documented in the quotation.
Protecting Shared Surfaces
Flooring, lift surrounds, intercoms, mailboxes, signage and nearby fixtures are protected according to the work area.
Surface Preparation
The agreed preparation may include cleaning, filling minor holes and cracks, sanding, spot priming and addressing previously patched areas. Building defects or repairs outside normal painter’s preparation are identified separately.
Consistent Finishes
Colours, sheen levels and coating systems are confirmed before work begins so connected corridors, landings and shared areas present consistently.
Daily Site Management
Work zones, materials and access routes are managed in line with the agreed programme and building requirements. Completed areas are checked as the project progresses.
Planned Around Residents, Visitors and Building Access
Common area painting takes place where people still need to enter, leave and move through the property. Before starting, we discuss access hours, lift use, deliveries, resident communication, sensitive areas and the preferred sequence of work.
Depending on the building and approved programme, painting can be staged by level, corridor or work zone. If work outside standard hours is required and agreed, view our After-Hours Commercial Painting Sydney service.

Common Area Painting FAQs
What areas are included in common area painting?
A common area scope can include entrance foyers, corridors, hallways, lift lobbies, landings, stairwells, shared rooms, doors, frames, trims and handrails. The exact inclusions are confirmed after inspection.
Can you paint an occupied apartment or strata building?
Yes, subject to the building, scope and access requirements. The work sequence and protection plan are discussed with the nominated building contact before painting starts.
Can common area painting be completed in stages?
Yes. Depending on the layout and approved programme, work can be staged by level, corridor or designated work zone to help manage access and disruption.
Do you repair cracks and damaged surfaces?
Normal painter’s preparation can be included in the quotation. Significant cracking, water damage, movement, concrete defects or repairs outside the painting scope may require separate investigation or rectification before coatings are applied.
Can you match the building’s existing colours?
Existing colours can be reviewed during the inspection. Final colours and sheen levels should be approved before work begins, particularly where only part of a connected area is being repainted.
How is common area painting priced?
Pricing depends on the size and number of areas, surface condition, preparation, access, protection, coating system, working hours and staging requirements. An onsite inspection allows A1 Painting Group to prepare a quotation for the agreed scope.
Who do you work with on common area projects?
Enquiries may come from strata managers, owners corporations, building managers, property managers, facilities managers and other authorised property representatives.
