BAUER PAINTING
Multi-Unit & Strata Painting.
Bauer Painting provides condo common-area painting across Toronto and the GTA. We assess lobbies, corridors, stairwells and amenity spaces in condominium and apartment buildings. Share the proposed surfaces, approval status and resident-access requirements so preparation and work phases can be reviewed with your authorised building contact.

Overview
Painting for Shared Building Spaces.
Corridors, entry doors and amenity areas receive different contact and cleaning. A repaint also affects how residents and staff move through the building. We review the existing finish, damage and approved colours, then discuss protection and access with management. Individual suite work and exterior surfaces need to be identified separately from the interior common-area scope.
Areas We Can Assess
- Corridors & Lobbies
- Building Exteriors
- Balconies & Railings
- Parking Structures
- Amenity Rooms
- Stairwells
This page focuses on interior common areas. Exterior, balcony and parking work need a separate assessment of surfaces, access and conditions before inclusion.

Scope, access and finish planning
Plan Your Common-Area Repaint
Confirm the Approved Surfaces
List the floors, corridors, lobbies and amenity spaces included. Specify doors, frames, ceilings and trim rather than assuming they are part of a wall repaint. Obtain the building's required colour and finish approvals before materials are ordered. The authorised contact should confirm the scope and how changes will be reviewed.
Coordinate Resident Movement
Agree the sequence, notices, elevator arrangements and furniture handling with management. Identify routes and areas affected by preparation or wet finishes. Floor-by-floor work may be suitable, but the building's layout and access needs determine the plan. Discuss temporary changes before work reaches each area.
Review Wear and Maintenance
Inspect corridor scuffs, damaged corners and marks around doors. Match preparation and product requirements to the surface and cleaning routine. Keep approved finish records at handover and confirm care instructions before routine cleaning resumes. Decide future repaint priorities from condition and use rather than a fixed building-wide interval.

Planning Your Project
Common-Area Painting Questions.
Answers to help you plan your painting project.
Which condominium and apartment areas can be assessed?
Lobbies, corridors, stairwells and amenity spaces can be reviewed for an agreed scope. List the walls, ceilings, doors and trim involved. Individual suites, exterior surfaces and parking areas should be specified separately rather than assumed part of the common-area repaint.
What affects condo common-area painting costs?
Paintable surfaces, repairs, preparation and coating requirements affect the scope. Furniture protection, working height and separate phases can add work. Compare quotations using the same floors, areas, inclusions and access arrangements rather than unit count alone.
Can residents remain during common-area painting?
A phased plan may allow continued occupancy where the work and circulation can be managed. Review ventilation, notices and temporary restrictions with management. Some areas may be unavailable during parts of the work. No single access plan suits every lobby, corridor or stairwell.
Can painting be completed floor by floor?
It may be suitable if each phase has the required access, protection and drying time. Agree the sequence with the building contact and allow for elevator bookings, cleaning and other scheduled work. Review each completed area before moving to the next phase.
Who approves the scope, colours and resident notices?
The building's authorised contact should identify the approval and communication process. Confirm colour and finish decisions before ordering materials. Agree who issues notices and approves scope changes; do not assume the same arrangements apply to every condominium or apartment building.
How are finishes selected for corridors and lobbies?
Review surface condition, lighting, contact and the cleaning routine. Corridors and entry-door surrounds may receive different wear from an amenity room. Check samples beside existing finishes and record the agreed products, colours and sheen for later maintenance.
How long does common-area painting take?
Duration depends on the surfaces, preparation, access and coating system. The number of phases, resident movement and other building activity affect the sequence. Include cleanup, drying and handover when planning dates rather than relying on a fixed time per floor.
Does this strata service cover Ontario condominium buildings?
Yes. The page covers agreed condominium and multi-unit common-area painting. For an Ontario project, define the scope through the building's own management and approval arrangements. The existing service name does not mean another province's strata rules apply.
