From our first meeting to get the initial quote (which was very competitive) until we waved them goodbye when the job was completed, Donald and Emma-Jane were wonderful to deal with.
Our recently purchased home was in a state of disrepair and badly in need of a good paint job. We also wanted to update the look of the property and Donald suggested that his wife Pamela could assist with advice on possible colours and tones. We finally decided on a two colour palette which required a lot
of cutting in and our odd shaped windows and turrets were not easy to work with. However Donald and Emma-Jane took it in their stride climbing up the scaffolding and dealing with some questionable weather and lock down. The preparation, painting and cleaning up could not be faulted – Donald even worked around pet door issues and Pamela lent a hand on some of the finer detail work. The communication throughout was excellent. We are exceptionally happy with the result that we achieved and highly recommend House Painting HB for a professional, quality job.

Sandy and I made the decision to paint our holiday home at 9 Ngatau Street, Omori in January. We arranged for painting quotes to be provided by local painters. We made a decision to choose Donald Hill due to Donald being the most professional person to deal with.
Within a day Donald was on site to provide a detailed quote to paint the property. He provided us with expected hours to complete the job, plus the implications of compliance for Health and Safety provisions, in other words the use of scaffolds to complete the job safely.
Upon acceptance of the quote, the job was both started and finished on time. As out of town homeowners Donald provided us with timely e-mails each week updating us on progress. On final inspection both Sandy and I were extremely impressed with not only the finish but the care taken to complete a superb paint job.
I would have absolutely no hesitation in employing Donald and his assistant Garth on any other future maintenance jobs on our holiday home. We are also happy to provide verbal references should any client wish to talk with us personally.
Thank you Donald and Garth for a fantastic job completed on time.

I am very happy to recommend Donald to anyone considering house or roof painting.
We found him to be a very pleasant, helpful workman who listened to what we needed and then went out of his way to make sure he delivered on his promises both in terms of quality of workmanship and time of completion.
We would definitely put him on the top of our list for any future painting needs.
Please feel free to email or call me for any further information or to ask questions.
Sincerely

I contacted Donald after viewing a house he had painted for a friend of ours.
Initially we asked him to paint the upper floor of our house in Taringa Avenue, Kuratau and
we were very pleased with the result.
From the first contact with Donald he was pleasant to deal with and gave us excellent
advice prior to commencement of the job.
Once started he kept us informed with almost daily emails of his progress and intentions
including photos as the job progressed; for an absentee owner this was very much
appreciated.
On completion of the house he advised us that our roof was showing early signs of
deterioration and we subsequently decided to have that painted as well, avoiding possible
expensive repairs in the future (our roof is not visible from the ground level).
His estimates were very close and the jobs carried out promptly.
We have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone contemplating painting their house.

I am more than happy to provide the following reference.
Thank you for painting our roof and spouting (including a re-screw of the roof).
We are very pleased with the quality of your work, which was competitively priced and carried out with friendly, old fashioned good service. I am happy to recommend you to others.

Donald Hill painted our roof and spouting at our Omori house in November. He prepared the roof thoroughly before painting. We were really pleased with his work, it was tricky paint to put on with a fleck in it. Paint job looks excellent and no paint drops or mess left behind.
We were not at the address when the work was carried out and were delighted with the result. Scaffolding was required for the high parts which Donald organised. Pleasant to deal with and would highly recommend his workmanship
