House painting - interior

Gareth and Russell were an excellent team. Their quotes were reasonable and didn't change during the project. They were punctual and completed the job within the agreed timeframe. I am writing this 8 months later and their work still looks excellent. We live in an old house and used a different painter previously and we already have cracks returning to the walls. Gareth made sure that all cracks were properly prepped to ensure they didn't return. The quality of the work was excellent with good attention to detail. Gareth also assisted us with colour choice and his advice was spot on. The guys cleaned up after their work each day and removed all garbage. I would recommend Gareth and Russell to my friends and family considering the degree of trust I have with them.
Thanks! Mark

Medical office painting

Gareth and his team took on the office painting on short notice. They were wonderful. They helped me pick the colours and did a thorough job preparing the walls, even where an angry patient had kicked a big hole in a wall. They were prompt and tidy and very competent. My medical colleagues are jealous of our new decor.

Interior Painting

From the first phone call to the last drop of paint, it was a pleasure dealing with English Painter. The company has old fashioned values such as responsiveness, reliability, punctuality. The interior paint job was done expediently, professionally, and to my satisfaction. Gareth & his team went far & above the call of duty to assist me in getting things back in place. I will definitely be referring English Painter to my friends. This was the best overall experience with a painting project. Many thanks.

THe English Painter is a total professional. He was here to give us a quote on the first day we called. He finished the job in the week even though he was very busy. The door has never looked better. He used quality paint and very nice brush strokes. Could not be more pleased!!

Interior Painting

Gareth and Russ recently completed painting the whole of our house downstairs and the very steep staircase and upstairs hallway. They did a fantastic job of all the walls and ceilings and not only painted the trim and woodwork but also made repairs and filled cracks and chips ..without being asked.

We have used Gareths company before for exterior painting and we were very impressed with the care and attention they showed in all the work they completed here. Gareth provides a detailed cost estimate and an honest assessment of how long the job will take . They are reliable,punctual and provide great value for money. The English Painter is a top notch service we will be using them again and have no hesitation in recommending them.

$2,000.00

Front Porch Re-paint

A WONDERFUL COMPANY. Most of our old wooden porch hadn't been painted in 20+ years. In 3 days, Gareth's team courteously and skillfully made it look brand-new. Best painters on the planet - lovely folks. On time- on budget. TOTALLY recommendable. Yup, they really ARE that good !! Thanks to Gareth, Carol, Russ and Kyle. Ernie and Sandra

Exterior Painting

Gareth and his crew painted our second story tudor style home and our shed in the back garden.
He was prompt to follow through on our request, gave us a good and complete quote and followed through on his part of the contract.
We appreciated the preparation work--sanding and repair of the boards. The actual painting was great.
Gareth and the crew worked diligently and quietly (only heard the ladders being moved) over a couple of days. They were friendly, pleasant and polite.
We are delighted with the outcome!
