The House Painting Company Ltd
Painters / Painting Contractors in Devonport

"Richard and his team were superb.
Firstly the quality of the job they did was exceptional. I can't find fault at any level. I've had so many compliments on my newly painted house that I've lost count.
Secondly Richard was a fantastic communicator. He was timely, and keep me updated on plans and any necessary changes to plans which was really helpful as an occupant as it allowed me to plan around what was going on.
Thirdly, Richard managed all the required activities - such as scheduling scaffolding, electricians as well as dealing with any hiccups (on the house). The project management side of the job was handled brilliantly.
thanks guys!"

"Richard and his team painted the entire exterior of our 1900s villa. They were professional, polite, efficient, and very competive on price compared to other quotes we received. I would be more than happy to recommend them - in fact I have done so a few times."

"Richard and his awesome team painted the exterior of our two homes in Devonport in late 2022.

From the quality of their workmanship to the thorough daily clean ups, nothing was too much trouble.

We have had lots of really nice comments on how the place is looking now and even though Covid delayed the job by 6 months it was definitely worth the wait.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Richard and his team to paint your place too.

cheers

Paul"

"After using The House Painting Company LTD last year to repaint the exterior of my 1950s weatherboard home I had no hesitation in getting them back to paint my roof. They are a very experienced team who know what they are doing so you know your going to get a great result. A pleasure to deal with as well.

"Richard and The House Painting Company were fabulous to work with. Attentive to detail, excellent communication, hard working, meticulous work, lovely crew members, pleasant, right on time, and no loud radio all the time. Plus, very reasonably priced and great value. I highly recommend Richard and his company. They obviously have a lot of experience working on old villas in our area are really knowledgeable. Richard picked up a problem with our metal roof that we did not know we had (and that would have become a serious problem) and was able to take of that for us as well."

"From start to finish of the job of painting the exterior of our house, dealing with Richard and his team was a breeze. We were recommended the House Painting Company Ltd by friends and Richard was quick to respond to a request for a quote. He visited the site, was knowledgeable and friendly and his quote was cheaper than another received. Once the job was locked in, Richard continued with excellent and timely communication. His team were always prompt in turning up, working hard every day and were polite and pleasant to have around We are extremely pleased with the whole job and do not hesitate to recommend."

"I can’t speak highly enough of the quality work that Richard and his team undertook when they painted the exterior of my townhouse, the bathrooms and garage. Richard did a very professional job that was finished ahead of time at a competitive price. He arranged the scaffolding at a much lower price than other companies had quoted. He and his team are a courteous, hardworking group who were a pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend the House Painting Company for all exterior and interior painting work."

"The House Painting Company painted our 2 story, a-frame house, on a very narrow section. The quote was very reasonable, included the cost of scaffolding, which Richard arranged thus saving me an extra step. Other higher quotes did not include those features. Work was done March 2020, completed on time as promised with an extra effort made to fit in with our expected (but COVID-19 cancelled, overseas travel). We are happy with the results, found the work men polite & friendly. Very satisfied with this company & happy to highly recommend them to others."

"Richard and the team took our tired cottage in historical Devonport and turned it back into the jewel it was meant to be. Two sides of the house were stripped back to bare boards and the rest sanded. Then it was painted and looks almost as good as new. He is a great communicator, does a quality job and goes the extra mile to make things run seamlessly - even bringing in his own builder to replace some of the rotten wood. He was not the cheapest that we got a quote for, but we got a quality finish (not like some of the less salubrious quotes we had) and could trust him completely. We would definitely use him and his team again."

"Richard and his small team of trusted painters at The House Painting Company Ltd come 100% recommended by me. In April 2018 they repainted the interior of my 2 bedroom unit on the North Shore and they did an excellent professional job for a very fair price. So when it was time to repaint the exterior in Dec 2018 I had no hesitation but to contact Richard again. I received the same top level service at a very good price and the unit looks brand new inside and out now! As I live out of town Richard met me to walk and talk me through the exterior repaint after he'd finished the job, and it was clear he'd gone the extra mile to ensure a top quality job was done. The House Painting Company Ltd team really knows their stuff, they're definitely 'no cowboys' and I won't hesitate to use them for any future painting jobs."

"From the outset ,Richard's service was exemplary.He clearly knew what he was doing and the suggestions he offered proved to be spot on.The quotation was very reasonable indeed and the entire job was handled in such a way that we hardly noticed that the team were there.His team work fast and efficiently,with minimal fuss and dedication.They reinstated wall hooks etc which was appreciated. The painting was completed in record time.Ireally don't think I could have found anyone else who would have exceeded the high standard set by Richard and his team.Richard retained full oversight of the job and will drop by in a years time to see if anything needs touching up.Now that's what I call "service"!!"

"Richard and his hard working personable crew were as professional as expected in terms of a quality job, on time performance, excellent communication, managing scaffolders and sticking to the budget. What particularly impressed me was the very practical approach Richard had to the inevitable challenges of painting a house with some interesting angles and rooflines. He anticipated issues and came up with solutions and kept us informed throughout. Im happy to endorse the work of Richard and his men and will happily recommend the House Painting Company."

"Totally amazing and professional Job. Looks better than the paint job on my Car. Richard and his team were totally professional right from the Quote through to the final cleanup. They totally stripped back the botched up mess that last so called professional painter left which was peeling off everywhere 4 years later. Richard also noticed that 3 window frames needed repair and organised a builder to repair these. Don't bother to use anyone else would be my advice."
