A family business with my daughter joining my wife and myself for all exterior, interior and roof painting.

I have been painting houses and roofs for the past 15 years. All my work is professionally carried out with an emphasis on doing the job right the first time and complete customer satisfaction.

We have been in Hawke's Bay for 5 years after moving from the southern end of Lake Taupo and are continuing to run our very successful business.

We usually spray house exteriors where its applicable and always spray roofs, using top quality Graco spray equipment from the USA. We use top quality Wattyl paint for exteriors, interiors and roofs.

We have our own scaffolding for house exteriors allowing us to scaffold an average two story home as well as edge protection for roofs. This is a significant saving for our customers. Our edge protection scaffolding is only for single storey houses but we can arrange for a scaffolding company to supply us quotations where our scaffolding is not applicable. We pass on the exact amount from the scaffolding company to our customers with NO markup.

Spraying always gives a better finish with a more even application of paint. In many cases there is a time saving when spraying even allowing for masking.

I retired 18 years ago from owning my own company for many years and became qualified as an ambulance officer with St Johns. Whilst with St Johns I started painting houses in Omori and the Kuratau near Turangi and successfully built up a strong business. I left St Johns to concentrate fully on my painting business.

We are very proud to say that we have built up an extensive number of clients who have offered references for us both written and verbally.

All of the painting work is now carried out by myself and my daughter with my wife helping when required. We are a true family business.

We try to keep sites as clean as possible during the work, always tidying up the site at the end of each days work. There is always some disruption for the home owner but we try and make this as minimal as possible.
