“Ethan did a bloody great job on our lounge and hallway — proper clean finish and you could tell he took his time with the details. Easy to deal with the whole way through, showed up when he said he would, and didn’t leave a speck of mess behind. Real down-to-earth fella. Would happily get him back for more work”

“We had Ethan repaint a couple of bedrooms and the outside of our garage — came out way better than we expected. He’s polite, turns up with a good attitude, and just gets stuck in. Felt comfortable having him around the house too, which you don’t always get. Cheers Ethan!”

“Real tidy work and good communication the whole way. Ethan walked us through everything beforehand so we knew what to expect. He finished up ahead of time and the house looks way fresher now. Just a solid, reliable painter who does what he says he’s gonna do.”

“Got Ethan in to sort the inside of our rental — walls were pretty rough but he made it look sharp again. Super respectful, on time, and easy as to deal with. Rates were fair too. Would definitely recommend him to anyone needing a solid paint job around Christchurch.”

“One of our lovely clients, Deborah wanted to have a go at the first coat — couldn’t resist getting stuck in! We always make the process fun and collaborative where we can, while still making sure the end result is professional.”
