Ken was exceptionally tidy from start to finish and a thoroughly nice person to have working around my home.

"Got Ken to paint the interior of my house here in Orakei. The quote given was fair and reasonable and the work completed was outstanding. My interior looks fantastic now with a fresh clean look. Ken went to the extra effort to work some Saturdays to get the job completed quickly and out of his own courtesy touched up a couple of my exterior window frames as protection for the winter weather ahead. Ken is an experienced and quality painter who knows his trade well who I could not recommend more highly for anyone who requires painting work completed."

"I recently had Ken come and do some plastering and painting. I can not recommend Ken highly enough. Ken went above and beyond to make sure the job went smoothly. Ken is very trustworthy and I had no problem leaving Ken a key to be in the house while I was at work. He turned up when he said he would and was easily contactable if I needed to get hold of him. The painting and plastering was done to a high standard and I will definitely get Ken back when I need more painting done."

"I fully recommend Ken - he is an absolute professional with a great attention to detail and goes out of his way to ensure a first rate job is done. Ken fully discussed options and gave helpful advice over painting the interior of our house. The work was half completed when the Anniversary Day flood struck and severe damage was done including new flooring and damage to walls. Ken not only re-painted, but also replastered the damaged walls, going beyond the work originally contracted for. All work was done to a high standard and we will certainly use Ken again for our properties."

"I have been using Ken for a few years now and I can highly recommend him. He always works to a very high standard with great attention to detail. I have an old home and the windows were in a terrible state. It was a big job and not easy work. Ken stripped them all back and they looked amazing after sanding and painting. I'm so happy with the work he has completed. He is very tidy and I can totally trust him in my home. He is a great bloke very warm and friendly and really knows his trade. I can highly recommend Ken."

"Ken has been our 'go to' painter over the years, he has painted our house inside and out and more recently we have contracted him to paint the renovation to the house. His attention to detail and indepth knowledge of the product and best practice has assured us we are in the right hands. We have even had the neighbours' painters enquire as to who painted our house because they had recognised a superior job. His workmanship and preparation are unparalleled and I would not hesistate to recommend him."
