Our story
A trade learned through family.
A shared care for the details.
Owner & lead painter
Brad learned the trade in Scotland alongside his dad, a painter with more than 40 years of experience. That grounding in proper preparation and careful finishing still shapes every job.
After ten years painting in Queenstown, he made Wānaka home. He brings more than 15 years on the tools, from refreshing a single room to repainting a whole house.
Organisation & quality
Suzie keeps the details in order, from client communication and project coordination to a tidy, well-organised work site.
With a methodical approach and a close eye on the finish, she helps make the whole experience feel considered, from your first conversation to the final tidy-up.
How we work
Careful cleaning, sanding and repairs give the finish the foundation it needs. We take care of what is underneath, as well as what you see.
Protecting floors and furniture, keeping things tidy and treating your space with care are part of the job.
We agree the scope and timing with you, keep you updated and talk through the details along the way.
“Brad has been fantastic to work with. We've used his painting services for multiple properties and have always been impressed with the quality of his work and his excellent communication. Professional, reliable, and easy to deal with. Highly recommend!”
