Scope Painting Ltd
Painting & Decorating Contractors in Remuera

"I chose Scope to paint the interior and exterior of my Ponsonby property after a careful and considerate review of a number of different painting companies.
Dave managed the quoting and proposal stages of the process very professionally and was clear and comprehensive about the scope and nature of the project.
Site meetings were held prior to starting then the team arrived and under the excellent project management of Jon the team duly got stuck in.
The team handled all that the weather could throw at them and did a fabulous job in prepping and preparing the house (under challenging circumstances) thereby ensuring the finished product was excellent. Their attention to detail was outstanding.
They responded well to all that I asked of them, and were very supportive when some small additional aspects of tidying up the house were identified, and took care of them in a positive manner.
I have no reservations with respect to recommending Dave and his team as a quality and professional company.
I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again."

I hope we haven't moved too far out of their area now as I wouldn't want anyone else! They took care of the place, kept floors and carpets well covered, cleaned up, went the extra mile with helping move stuff, re-doing a colour etc. Always really nice guys to have in the house.

"Recommended by another tradesperson. Right from the kick off for this full interior plaster tidy up and repaint for a large two story home we found Dave and his team of painters and plasterers led by Ali to be absolutely top drawer to talk to and work with. Great advice, patience and some good laughs were then backed up by extremely high quality work and attention to detail. Every day great care and attention was paid to protect furniture, cupboards and wardrobes from dust and paint splashes, with a good standard of cleanup at the end of each day’s work. We thoroughly enjoyed having Dave and his team around and would not hesitate to recommend them. Outstanding!"

"Found Scope Painting from NoCowboys. We were looking for someone to paint the entire interior of a rental property. This involved painting pretty poor condition front and back doors, wooden skirting boards and door frames, wooden doors, and dark walls. I have to say Dave and his crew exceeded our expectations. We have previously used two other painting companies to do similar jobs at other rental properties, and the quality of Scope Painting's work is far superior, and they were timely finishing when they said they would. Their price was slightly higher but well worth the difference in my view. Dave was excellent to communicate with, had good recommendations, and there were no issues in coming back to do touch ups/remedial work (even when it was damaged through no fault of theirs, such as damage done by the floor sander and kitchen installers). This made a huge difference in my satisfaction as it removed any hassle around not having a perfect paint job. Would highly recommend, and will definitely be using them next time."

"Thanks to the woeful paint job delivered in our new Signature home, we had to get Signature Homes to have the interior and exterior repainted within 2 years!
The company they selected this time was Scope Painting and we could not have had a better team of painters to finally do the job the way it should have been done in the firs place.
Dave's team took a lot of trouble to mask our carpet, cover our furnishings and ensure that new paint only went where it should do. They were careful, competent, courteous and nothing was too much trouble for them. They sanded and painted until our house finally looked as it should have done when we moved in 2 years ago. They also had a copy of the NZ Master Painters report to Signature Homes, stating what all the defective work comprised and how to remedy it.
Between NZ Master Painters and Scope Painting we finally got the result we had paid Signature Homes for.
