Sound familiar?
You see those walls every single day. Make them worth looking at.
The problem
Faded, stained, scuffed walls
Paint loses its life over time — and suddenly the whole room feels neglected, no matter how tidy it is.
The problem
Streaks, drips & patchy DIY
Uneven previous paintwork shows in every light. Cheap jobs advertise themselves forever.
The problem
Colours that fight the room
Wrong tones make spaces feel smaller, darker or dated — and repainting twice costs double.
The fix: proper prep (including Gib repair), premium low-VOC paints, expert colour matching for your light and style — applied room by room around your life, with crisp lines that hold up in every light.
The honest guide
Which paint finish for which room?
The sheen matters as much as the colour. Here's what we actually recommend for Auckland homes.
| Low Sheen | Semi-Gloss | Matte / Flat | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Look | Smooth with a soft reflection | Clean, wipeable shine | Velvety, no reflection |
| Best for | Bedrooms, hallways, lounges | Bathrooms, kitchens, trims & doors | Ceilings, low-traffic areas |
| Why | Easy to clean, forgiving in most light | Moisture-resistant and scrubbable | Hides imperfections beautifully |
Not sure? We spec the right finish room by room as part of every quote — and if you want more than flat colour, our decorative finishes turn one wall into the whole room's personality.

Interior painting questions, answered
How much does it cost to paint a house interior in Auckland?
It depends on your home's size, wall condition, and whether ceilings, trims and doors are included. Indicatively: a 3-bedroom interior repaint runs $6,000–$12,000, and a full house including ceilings and doors from $10,000+ (GST included).

Can you paint while we're living in the house?
Yes — most of our interior work is done in occupied homes. We go room by room, schedule around your routine, and protect everything with drop sheets, masking and dust control. Your house stays completely liveable.
How long does interior painting take?
For an average 3–4 bedroom Auckland home: bedrooms only take 2–3 days, and a full house interior 5–7 days — including prep, painting, drying and cleanup. You get a timeline upfront, and we stick to it.
Do you fix Gib and repair walls before painting?
Always — a great paint job starts with flawless prep. We fill nail holes and dents, repair cracked or damaged Gib, and sand and seal patched areas, with Level 3–5 plaster finishes available. It's why our paintwork lasts.
Can you paint over wallpaper or old feature walls?
Sometimes yes, with a specialist sealer primer — but for the best result we recommend removal. We strip wallpaper, prep the walls underneath and smooth out textures before repainting. Old feature walls are easy: we'll colour-match, neutralise, or upgrade it to a decorative finish worth featuring.
Should I paint before or after new carpet and flooring?
Before, ideally — we work faster and there's no risk to new materials. Already installed? No problem: we protect carpet and floors carefully with drop sheets and tape.
