The craft
The details you never see, done properly.
Sharp tape lines, clean brushes, the right product for the right surface. Small habits, repeated on every job, are what a premium finish is made of.
Chatswood is high-rise and heritage side by side. We paint apartment common areas and facades for owners corporations, and Federation and interwar homes for the families on the quiet streets behind them.
Award Painting has worked in Chatswood since 2007 under Licence 222321C with $20M public liability insurance. Strata committees get a fixed scope and a program; homeowners get a walkthrough and a fixed written quote.
Chatswood’s strata stock ranges from 1970s walk-ups to recent towers, and the work changes with the age. Older blocks need rendered stair towers repaired, metal balustrades rust-treated, concrete soffits sealed and timber doors restored. Newer buildings need their first full common-area repaint: lobbies, corridors, stairwells, car parks and balcony soffits.
In both cases we write a fixed scope the committee can approve in one meeting, stage the work so entries, lifts and fire exits stay open, use low-odour products indoors and plan facade access with the safest method for the building. See strata painting and maintenance programs for multi-year scheduling.
Offices, medical suites, restaurants and retail tenancies across the Chatswood CBD need painting around trading hours with minimal disruption. We schedule evenings and weekends, use fast-drying low-odour systems, protect fit-outs and signage and leave premises ready to open. Anti-graffiti coatings are available for laneway and ground-floor walls. Details on our commercial painting page.
The houses west of the Pacific Highway and around Chatswood West carry a century of paint on their timber. We prepare pre-1970 layers as lead-bearing with wet methods and containment, scrape timber to a sound edge, spot-prime, replace putty and finish in enamel. Heritage-appropriate colour schemes are prepared through the free consultation, and shaded walls under the canopy are washed, treated and dried before coating.
Chatswood is about 20 minutes from our base near Hornsby. We also work in Lindfield, Killara, Gordon and Pymble.

Questions

Every quote starts with a free walkthrough. We look at the condition of the existing paint, access, the number of colours and how much trim there is, then put a fixed price in writing with preparation, coats, repairs and access itemised. Preparation overruns are carried by us, not added to your bill.
Yes. Award Painting Pty Ltd holds NSW Painting and Decorating Contractors Licence 222321C and carries $20M public liability insurance. Both are shown on every quote and can be checked against the NSW Fair Trading licence register.
Access is planned first: scaffold, boom lift, swing stage or rope access through a specialist partner, depending on the building and the budget. The method is itemised in the quote, and work is staged so balconies and entries are affected for the shortest practical time.
Yes. Apartment interiors are typically turned around in 2 to 4 days with low-odour, fast-drying products, full floor protection and crisp trims. We can coordinate with your property manager on access and timing.
A full interior of a 3 or 4 bedroom home usually takes 5 to 8 working days. A full exterior takes 1 to 3 weeks depending on size, access and how much timber needs preparation. You get a start date and a finish date in writing, and the same crew stays on the job from the first day to the last.
A colour consultation valued at $275 is included free with every quote. We look at the orientation of each wall, the roof and brick colours you are keeping, the street and the light under your trees, then test sample boards on the house rather than choosing from a chip.
