“Thanks Jason and team for the great painting job in our 2 bedrooms and hallway/stairwell/entrance. The men checked all painting between coats and did spot painting to cover several stubborn marks successfully. It was very helpful to have advice on how colours would behave if we opted for 2 shades lighter in the hall area – we’re glad we didn’t as we’re thrilled with the outcome of our original choice. The team consulted us about exactly was needed,and checked the colours . They were all quiet, friendly and respectful. Marc also provided helpful advice on colours when he visited prior to giving us the quote. Thanks all, we’ll definitely use Paradise Painting again, and would recommend them to others.“

Thank you very much, Marc, for the speedy delivery of your painting service. We are very pleased with the outcome, and the decks look great! We were also very impressed with your team’s resourcefulness (they read the owners’ reactions) to adjust the colour before applying the final coat – and that made a world of difference. Unexpectedly, the team also provided some unplanned and greatly appreciated ‘added touches’ by dealing with a number of other overdue painting maintenance points – nice work. Job well done!“

“We are really happy with the work that Marc’s team completed both inside & outside of our house. Communication throughout has been outstanding.
They use good quality paints & don’t mix any branded paints with inferior brands (which apparently you can get with cheaper companies).
Scaffolding was up & down really quickly too.
All painters from Paradise are always polite & respectful. Every day the site was left clean & safe so that we could keep the house functioning with 2 kids etc. I was also able to work from home uninterrupted even though they were inside & outside. Will only consider Paradise now for all our painting work.“

“”Lovely guys, really happy with them and no problems at all, just got on with the job nice and quickly. It was a plastering job for a room that was in a dire state – loads of curves and holes where I’d ripped out the picture rail. Advice was all sensible, William was really helpful teaching me what to do next as I’ll be doing the painting myself, and Diego managed to catch my runaway dog. Extra service. I’m really happy with the final product. “”

The preparation work was very thorough and the finished job looks great, coming in early and on budget. Steve and the guys on-site were courteous, professional, punctual, and worked through the weekend to take advantage of the good weather.”

“The very flaking and mould covered cedar weatherboards were long overdue for attention. Marc sent in his team, and organised the scaffolding for the double storey house. The result is splendid. We chose an oil stained red-brown with a sandy cream colour concrete foundation. The weather didn’t allowed continuous work and in order to dodge the rainy days some of the team worked on Saturdays to make sure the work was completed in good time. Fine work, from respectful, pleasant painters. Thanks, until next time.“

“We had a ceiling cavity with a skylight over 12ft off the ground in a tight space in a bathroom that needed plastering and painting. It was a demanding job – up and down the ladder. Jason did a marvelous job in 2 days and cleaned up perfectly at the end of each day.”

“Excellent work performed by Marc and his team. We had some indoor and outdoor painting done and plastering. The painters were friendly, polite, clean and tidy and it looks fabulous.”

“Marc and his “dream team” ( to use his own words ) completed painting our two storied hillside house exterior last week and we couldn’t be happier with their excellent workmanship and service.

Weather conditions were challenging and the Paradise guys kept turning up and pushing on whenever they could – with a great result we are thrilled with.
Professional, thorough and obliging team – definitely highly recommended!”

“Outstanding. I contacted Marc on Tuesday to enquire about his ability to complete plastering and painting work. He visited the property on the same day and provided a quote the following day as he said he would. I accepted the quote (which was very reasonable) and work commenced the next day. All plastering and painting work was completed promptly. The communication was excellent and the team were very friendly. I cannot recommend highly enough. Everything that Marc said he would do he did when he said he would do it.“

“We had loads of north facing windows with flaking peeling paint and water making its way inside. Our toddler

started showing interest in the paint flakes so we contacted Marc.

He got his team out to us within 2 weeks! They managed to restore our old windows beautifully, fast and with smile. A very nervous mum (petrified of lead dust) and a toddler trying to get in the way didn’t phase them. We will definitely be chatting to them when we paint the rest of the house exterior. “

“This was the second job that Marc and his team have done for us. One of the rooms was painted a very dark colour and the guys took great care and extra effort to prep all the walls. The result is fantastic. We are very pleased with the quality of all painting. The team has been easy to work with and they were happy to spend additional time ensuring the job was completed as required. We would recommend them and will use them in the future. “

“My husband and I were very pleased with the work undertaken by Marc and his team. We have a split level house which required all painted surfaces painted, including doors. So it was agreed they would do the paint in two halves starting with upstairs (kitchen, family room, lounge, dining room, passage, extra toilet, wash house, bedroom and ensuite). The lads (a young energic team) arrived on the Tuesday and by Friday the same week had completed the upstairs and on the weekend we moved back upstairs. Monday they completed 2 bedrooms, large bathroom and passageway and commenced the garage wall, ceiling and floors. 3 weeks later, a few final touch ups and we had a new painted interior, thrilled and very very happy.“

“Marc’s team came it at short notice and completed a really complex wallpaper strip, and paint job. The workmanship turned out immaculate – in that regard Paradise would be the best painters I have ever used. Very skilled.

The painters were all really friendly and punctual. Could work a little harder on stopping dust travel / maybe door coverings etc.

You pay for what you get – there are cheaper painters out there, but these guys are top notch.”

“We recommend 100% / professional / prompt / qualified / team….

Engaged past 5 yrs for exterior / interior painting plastering on family home & rental property. The real bonus is Marc can provide one painter or a team of 6 or 7 depending on the job. Current job was short notice, ( on a weekend ) with immediate appraisal & start the next day. Incredible service always !”

Janine • 21st May, 2020

“We recently used Paradise Painting Ltd to paint the exterior of our two storey house in the Eastern Suburbs. After meeting several painting contractors, we decided on Marc and Paradise Painting for a number of reasons (1) they were local and they understood the local/coastal environment (2) they provided a thorough and detailed quote including fair terms and conditions and (3) they were good communicators and accessible. Whilst Paradise Paining wasn’t the cheapest quote (you do get what you pay for), they weren’t the most expensive either. We were confident that Marc was committed to providing a quality outcome. Whilst our exterior paint took a little longer than expected due to a number of reasons (including a lockdown), Marc and his crew did a quality job. They were always accessible, took pride in their work, communicative and tidy on site. I am happy to recommend Marc and Paradise Painting to anyone considering a painting project. “

“We needed to spruce up our Wellington CBD apartment to sell in the spring market. We wanted a top quality job at a competitive price, and this is exactly what we got from Marc and his team. We trusted them to choose neutral colours (celing, walls and doors), do a few small plastering jobs, work around our tenant, leave the apartment tidy … as well as get the job done a day before the new carpet was laid! Tick, tick, tick, tick. We couldn’t have been happier with the standard of the paint job,…”

Came back to complete details post paint drying/curing like getting tricky door handles back on…

No mess in apartment during job.

Good advice given by Marc

couldn’t be happier :)”

Rachel • 9th Jul, 2019

“Marc and his team led by Isaac were called in at short notice to paint both the interior and exterior. They knocked the job out in a few days and we fantastic to deal with. Nothing was a problem and they even did some bathroom sealing and never charged me. It’s generally rare to see a Manager / Owner mucking in but Marc did as rough weather was approaching the next day. Highly recommend. “

They have shown themselves to be an extremely professional crew and come with a can do attitude, Issac and the boys go above and beyond in their delivery of service, They are reliable respectful and dedicated to the job, I 100% recommend this company and its finished product.”

“Marc and Isaac deliver a fabulous product. Have used Paradise painters for one external and several internal

house repaints over the years. The last project at the end of 2018 required the full internal repaint of the inside of our 260 square metre home. From outline. quote, negotiations, execution and discussion of additiona extras the process was professional and a fun experience with a positive outcome. The finish obtained and the thoughtful way the team moved through the house to cater for our needs further supported our continuing preference for using Marc and Paradise Painting.

Always a pleasure to deal with and delivery of such excellence is a credit to Marc and his team.”

“Great communication, professional work, nice guys. 10/10 would recommend.My partner and I had just moved into

a new house and wanted some of the coving replaced. I contacted no less than a dozen contractors and got some

pretty mixed results. We don’t have great access as we’re down a footpath and we were looking at 2-4 weeks before

commencement of the job.

Marc called me back and was like, how about my team shows up tomorrow? We can be done in 3 days if that suits? Needless to say we jumped at the opportunity.

His team came in and were super professional – on time, communicative and friendly – great guys. They did a professional job very quickly.

Any time we require any plastering or painting, we’re going to ring Marc first thing.

Thanks again to Marc, Isaac, and the Paradise Team.”

An amazing quality finish, especially considering the significant preparation that was required. Excellent communication and all work was completed on time and to budget.

The quality of the work was excellent, better than I had imagined, and I felt very comfortable with these two gentlemen in my home. Thank you again for a great job – I would highly recommend this company!”

“Absolutely stellar service provided by this firm. Our house required significant remedial works to the exterior cladding. Paradise Painting helped us find a local builder, who worked in with the painters to get the job done to a very high standard, in a very short time. Despite terrible weather conditions, they managed to deliver a beautiful paint job inside and out. Their crew were polite, professional and tidy. I recommend them without reservation!”
