We're an owner-operated team of trade-qualified painters and plasterers, working across the Matakana Coast.
Our work ranges from residential repaints and beachfront homes to architectural new builds and commercial and retail spaces. Our responsibility as painters is to protect and maintain the longevity of your property, which we do through diligent preparation and careful choice of materials.
We take pride in our work and treat our clients' spaces with respect. Our sites are kept clean and organised from start to finish, our pricing is transparent and itemised, and we keep you updated at each stage.
Building trust and strong working relationships with our clients is an essential part of how we work. We take the time to understand your objectives and your vision for your space, and we enjoy seeing it come to life.
We value our environment and offer environmentally friendly, non-toxic paint options, as part of our effort to give clients more sustainable choices.
Our standard is to be better everyday, and our name is a commitment to the continuous learning, improvement and refinement of our practice.

The Cosy Notes
At every stage, Bianca and Sam have been absolute professionals: friendly, calm, reliable and conscientious. I appreciate how they are highly transparent about the project's costing, providing an itemised list of each expense at every stage. I can't recommend them enough! I have so many more house painting projects on our reno to-do list, and I'll definitely be turning to better house painters for these.
