About Us

I began my painting and decorating career at the age of 16 (back in 1980) where I completed a four year apprenticeship at Sydney's 'Vickers Cockatoo Dockyard.' The work was extremely varied and included the preparation and painting of ships, submarines, boats, vehicles, machinery, offices and federation style houses (now heritage listed). During that period, I also completed a three year course in Painting and Decorating at Sydney Technical College.

I hold a craftsman's Certificate of Proficiency, a Technical Certificate (Sydney Tech.) and a contractor licence (Office of Fair Trading N.S.W.), all in Painting and Decorating.

Leaving Cockatoo Dockyard as a 'Master Painter', my next position was as a maintenance painter at the Menzies Hotel, Sydney, where I was to maintain the suites, dining rooms and buildings to a high standard. I then went on to work for a number of organizations in both government and the private sector where I picked up skills in all aspects of my trade.

In the 1990's, I secured a job with Dulux Paints as a technical consultant. My roll was to advise architects, engineers, builders, painters and home owners on appropriate paint systems, providing advice and specifications. Engaging with anywhere from 50 to 100 customers a day over the phone, I spent five years straight talking about paint ! As the main contact for the Dulux laboratory, the technical expertise I developed has been an enormous advantage. I know how to get the very best out of each paint job !

I originally started my own business in 1986, carrying out domestic, commercial and some light industrial painting. Growing up, and still based in the inner-west, I gained great experience in older Victorian and Federation style residential work. After a hiatus training as a Police Officer and then working in Community Services as a Crisis Support Worker for seven years, I returned to painting in 2018.

I strive to provide honest, reliable, residential and commercial painting services that stand head and shoulders above the rest. I combine the industry's best paint with a passion for detail to exceed your expectations. 

 All workmanship is guaranteed under Fair Trading N.S.W. regulations. I am fully licensed and insured for peace of mind. I hold a current police check and working with children certification.
