Master Painters Award Winners
We are extremely proud to have been recognised at the Master Painters New Zealand Awards, receiving multiple accolades in recent years for our work across the residential sector.
In 2018, we were awarded Residential Master Painter of the Year at the Master Painters New Zealand Awards held in Queenstown—widely regarded as the highest honour for residential painting in the country.
This award was judged across a range of completed projects, including new home interiors, timber finishing, wallpapering, and renovation work. The residential category features 14 sections, each with section winners, gold awards, and highly commended entries.
Our team achieved outstanding results, winning three section awards, four gold awards, and the overall Residential Master Painter of the Year title. This remains a significant achievement, and we are proud to be the only painting company in the Nelson region to have received recognition at this level.
