Frequently asked questions

Do you supply the paint?

Yes! Our trade accounts enable huge savings over the normal retail cost of paint and you won’t have to do any running around when we need more.

Do I need to organise scaffolding?

We have our own mobile scaffolding as well as professional scaffold contractors to install scaffolding for the larger or tricky areas. Sorted!

Can you help with colour?

Yes! To thank you for choosing to work with us we will arrange a professional colour consultant to come to your home and help you make the right choice! (*offer applies when using Resene paints only)

What paints do you use?

In general we use and recommend Resene paints. We also have trade accounts with both Dulux and Porters paints and should you have a specific request or specification we are happy to accommodate. What we won’t use is low quality or inferior paint and products which compromise the quality and longevity of our work.

How soon can you start?

Generally speaking we usually have about a 2-3 week lead time for full exterior or interior house paints. When you receive your quote we will also give an indication of when we can start. There are always exceptions though so if you have a pressing deadline we can often make something work especially if it’s during winter months which is our quieter period.

Do you do both interior and exterior painting?

Yes! We have over 65 years combined experience in both interior and exterior painting.

Do you do the odd small job?

Full exterior and interior house painting is our specialty and where we can offer the very best service to our clients. For the odd small painting job a sole tradesman in your area would better serve your needs.

graham taylor

We were very happy with the whole experience with Auckland City Painters. The job was completed to a very high standard. ACP staff were professional and easy to deal with. The House wash and Scaffolding subcontractors were also a pleasure to deal with. The communication from John and Jonathan was excellent. We were advised day to day what was happening so that we knew when we needed to be there....important when the work is very weather dependent. Thanks for a great job.

Response from the owner: Awesome Graham, thank you for the feedback on using our services for the exterior painting of your home. We realise that people are equally as important as the work itself so its music to our ears to hear of your positive dealings with all of the team. Thanks again for the work!

Rich Greissman

From start to finish my experience with Auckland City Painters was exceptionally satisfying. The general manger, Jonathan, was my primary contact, and he was a superb communicator. I found him personable, knowledgeable and delightfully attentive to my painting needs and concerns. The crew chief, Mike, was equally delightful: a consummate professional who was eager to ensure that the work was properly executed. The booking entailed painting the walls of my new apartment. My wife and I are thrilled with the quality of the work. I have had many experiences with tradespeople in my adult life; and, as one might expect, those interactions have ranged from awful to wholly satisfying. That said, my experience with Auckland City Painters ranks among the best . . . full stop. I wholeheartedly and without any qualification recommend this company for your painting needs.

Response from the owner: So pleased to hear of your experience working with us Rich, and very much appreciate your time and intention in writing your comprehensive feedback so that others may hear of your impressions using our services. Happy to have helped with your apartment painting. All the very best.

Jack Woodward

It was a pleasure to work with John and his team on the interior repainting of our 110 year old Church Hall which had undergone earthquake strengthening and plaster and timber surfaces were dirty and sad. The end result is so good and their cooperation allowed us use of the hall while the job went on. ACP have my strongest recommendation.

Response from the owner: Great to hear your feedback Jack. It was a real honour being part of the Church hall rejuvenation and the team is really chuffed to hear your comments on their work. All the best.

T Tairua

John is a wonderful communicator who managed the Resene colour consultant, scaffolding, house wash, and his amazing painters - Helen and Andrew and the roof cleaner. It was a pleasure to work with you John and the amazing professionals you surround yourself with. We highly recommend.

Response from the owner: Thanks so much for your kind feedback Tania. It was a real pleasure working for you, much appreciated.

Susan Seidenberg (Visnumaya)

I consulted with John over some colour decisions for my house paint and he was very helpful. He has a great eye for detail and was able to immediately point out what would work and what wouldn’t. He is professional and well presented. If you’re after a company that will give high quality results then this is it.

Response from the owner: Thanks for sharing Susan, glad to be of help. All the best.

Auckland City Painters Ltd are very professional, neat and tidy painters. The team of painters led by Steve did an excellent job, making sure there were no paint spots where there shouldn’t be. I would recommend these painters.

Response from the owner: Thanks so much Alison, it was great working for you.

Lynn Brebner

Very impressed with Auckland City Painter. Harry & Steve were the onsite painters and were extremely tidy, efficient and pleasant. John was great to deal with and communicated well. As well as a full interior paint they were charged with having my old wooden shutters repainted. They came back like brand new. All round great job and would have no hesitation in recommending.

Response from the owner: Thanks for your feedback Lynn, happy to hear your experience and your satisfaction with the end result.

Leone Jeune

Auckland City Painters did a great job of painting the interior our rental apartment. John was an excellent communicator and went above and beyond for out of town owners. We are very pleased with the results and highly recommend them.

Response from the owner: Thanks for sharing Leone. Organising tradesman from another location can certainly be a very stressful experience for most but by reading your feedback hopefully it gives some reassurance to any other ‘out of towners’ looking for Painters they can depend on. Much appreciate the work, thanks again.
