“Very pleased with the workmanship the Lakeside team have done. The quote was very clear and there were no issues.”
What you can expect
Good painting is mostly the part you don’t see.
Anyone can roll a wall. What makes a room look properly finished is the filling, sanding and sharp cut lines that come before and around it. That’s where we spend our time.
We’ll walk through the job with you, tell you honestly what it needs (and what it doesn’t), then put it all in a clear written quote. No pressure and no upselling.
- 01
Your things looked after
We move the small stuff, wrap the big stuff and cover floors before a tin is opened.
- 02
Prep done properly
Cracks filled, dents smoothed, flaky paint scraped back and everything sanded so the finish sits flat.
- 03
The right paint for each room
Trade-quality Dulux and Resene products, with washable and moisture-resistant finishes where they’re needed.
- 04
Crisp, clean lines
Careful cutting in around ceilings, trims and joinery. It’s the detail that makes a room feel finished.
- 05
A tidy house every evening
We clean up as we go, so you can keep living in your home while we work.
- 06
A walk-through before we leave
We go over everything together at the end. If something isn’t right, we sort it.
How an interior job runs
Four simple stages, so you always know what’s happening and when.
01Protect
Furniture moved or wrapped, floors covered, fittings and switches masked off.
02Prepare
Filling, sanding and priming where needed. This is what makes paint look smooth and last.
03Paint
Usually two coats, brushed and rolled or sprayed depending on the surface and the finish you’re after.
04Tidy & walk through
Covers off, a dust and vac, furniture back in place. Then we check the job over with you.
What we paint
Every surface inside your home

WanakaWhat clients say
“Brad and Susana, gave me a very fair quotation and have done a wonderful job in preparing and repainting our flat. They went the extra mile in all ways and it looks new and fresh once again. I will certainly call them back for further work when we need it and I highly recommend them. Sincere thanks!”
“Brad did an amazing job of painting a bathroom renovation. Great attention to detail and even went the extra mile to fill a sizeable hole we found behind a mirror. Great communication and would definitely recommend.”
“Lakeside Painting did such a fantastic job on our outside gables, we got them back for some inside ceiling work. Again they have done a brilliant & very professional job. Very easy to deal with, great communication and flexible around our time requirements. Thanks so much for a job well done Brad! Highly recommended 👍👍”

Questions we often get
Can’t see yours here? Give Brad a call on +64 22 106 0336. Happy to talk it through, no pressure.
How much does interior painting cost in Wanaka?
It depends on the size of the rooms, the condition of the walls and how much prep is needed, so we price every job after a look. You’ll get a clear written quote that sets out exactly what’s included, with no surprises later.
How long will it take?
A bedroom usually takes a day or two. A full interior can take one to two weeks depending on size and prep. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe with your quote.
Can we stay in our home while you’re painting?
Usually, yes. We can work room by room where it makes sense and keep disruption to a minimum. Before we start we’ll talk through access, drying times and anything you need to keep clear.
Can you help us choose colours?
Happy to give an honest opinion and talk through sheen levels and products. If you’re stuck between a few colours, we can paint test patches so you can see them in your own light.
What paint do you use?
Trade-quality Dulux and Resene products, chosen for each room. Washable finishes for busy areas and moisture-resistant products for kitchens and bathrooms.
Do you paint holiday homes and rentals?
Yes. We work with property managers and out-of-town owners regularly and can fit work in between bookings. We’ll keep you updated with photos as we go.
