Customer's reviews

I enjoyed working with Shane and found him to be very knowledgeable, upfront and fair. He explained the painting process, and subsequently how the costing was derived very clearly. He was also supportive and encouraging in what can be a daunting undertaking! I would be very happy to work with him again, and to recommend his team to anyone else wanting to paint their property in a professionally managed approach and with peace of mind. ~ Janice C
Shane and Ian recently painted our kitchen/dining/living, and family room. While it was mostly Ian doing the painting, Shane was there at the start of each day to check on the work and touch base with us. The team were thoughtful about not disrupting our family too much and worked around our morning schedule. Shane is friendly and honest - we chose Colourhomes over another ever so slightly cheaper quote as we just really liked his personality and that matters when someone is in your house all week! He also suggested products like anti-scuff which we didnt know about. Super happy with the result - thanks Shane! ~ Kathryn P
Shane and the Colour Homes team were great to work with. Their clear communication made the entire process smooth and stress-free. The results are stunning — our home looks brand new. Highly recommend their services for anyone seeking professional work and a positive experience. ~ Joe T

Questions & Answers

What makes your painting services unique compared to others?
Our company is a Dulux accredited painting company that has been invited by Dulux to join a group of top tier professionals that they can trust to deliver quality, reliability and expertise to clients. Unlike industry member associations, we must meet accreditation standards to keep our accreditation and maintain our relationship as a trusted brand partner with Dulux.
How long does it take to paint a house?
It depends on size and condition of the surfaces to be painted. The finished look depends largely on the quality of the preparation. If you want a quick cheap job then this is where the short cuts will occur and your paint job will not last. In fact, you could see deterioration within 4 weeks. On average we allow 3-5 weeks to enable proper preparation - cleaning, sanding, filling, gapping. We often get asked about paint stripping. A lot of painters do this because it's easier for them - but it's often not necessary. We are able to bring back flawed weatherboards without paint stripping which makes them look pretty much brand new.
Do you offer colour consultations?
Yes we do. As a Dulux Accredited Painter we are able to offer our clients a premium paint colour design consultation free of charge if you accept our quote. The consultant is a Dulux colour design professional who will do up to 3 schemes for interior and exterior projects. You will get a design brief which has mock ups of what your home will look like in all the schemes. It is a truly fantastic colour design service which many of our clients use.
Are the painting products you use environmentally friendly?
Yes they are. We use both Dulux premium and professional paint ranges which all have eco-friendly certifications. Here are some key features: - Low VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds): These paints have very low VOC levels (<1g/L), which means fewer emissions and improved indoor air quality. - Global GreenTag™ Certification: Dulux envirO₂® is certified by this globally recognised eco-certification program, ensuring it meets high environmental and health standards. - Low Odor: The paints are formulated to minimize odor, allowing occupants to enjoy freshly painted spaces sooner. - Mould Prevention: Certain formulations help prevent mould growth, protecting both the paint and people's health. - Washability and Stain Resistance: These paints are durable and easy to clean, making them ideal for long-lasting use.
What is a Dulux Accredited Painter?
To be a Dulux Accredited Painter (DAP) you must be invited by Dulux to join their accredited painter programme. You must meet high standards of professionalism, be trade qualified and highly experienced in a wide range of painting environments, carry public liability insurance and demonstrate that you are an ambassador for the Dulux brand. We are one of 22 painting companies in Wellington who meet these accreditation standards.
