Whanganui's painter for over 20 years
Painting is what I do, and I've been doing it for more than 20 years across Whanganui and Wellington — interior and exterior, weatherboards, joinery and fences. I do the work myself, so you deal with one experienced painter from quote to clean-up, not a rotating crew.
A great finish comes down to preparation — washing down, sanding, filling and priming properly before a brush of topcoat ever goes on. That's the difference between a paint job that looks good for a season and one that lasts for years.
And over the years plenty of clients have asked me to lend a hand with other jobs around their place too — so if there's something else you need doing, just ask.

What people say
Happy clients
"Simon has done great painting work, both inside and outside, on my large Victorian house in Wellington that runs as a bed and breakfast lodge. He is good to talk to — and I have been happy with his colour suggestions. He also notices things beyond the scope of painting. Many tradesmen have come and gone in the past 25 years — but only Simon has paid enough attention to notice that one of the downpipes was not actually attached to the spouting."
Jane Tolerton
"A few weeks ago Simon painted our fences around our house. They were originally painted in 2008, when they were new, and were certainly needing a repaint. Simon was a diligent workman, he spilled no paint, and got the job done promptly. We were very satisfied with the result, and would highly recommend him."
