We recently had ADP paint our children's 3 large bedrooms with raked ceilings. This was the second time we have employed them and won't be the last as we gradually makeover our house. The boys were punctual, polite and efficient taking only 3 days including de-wallpapering, preparing and painting. I would happily recommend Gary and his crews to anyone.

Approximate cost: $3000

The job involved a total exterior paint for an old Queensland house, built in underneath with added back deck and carport. Much of its paint was not in great shape, the last painting being about 15 years ago. The job was handled very well and completed in just over two weeks, sometimes with 5 or 6 boys on site. The foreman left nothing to chance, interacted with us over every decision and dealt with the dog-owning neighbours (in whose yard we needed to position a ladder) with courtesy and charm. If we were away from the house when the team left, they followed our instructions to the letter in relation to locking up the house and securing the keys. The quality of the job seems excellent and we are enjoying receiving compliments from the neighbours. We are happy to recommend this company.

Approximate cost: $24,000

Thank you, Margaret. We really enjoyed painting your home. Cole, your supervisor, was really happy with the outcome and enjoyed your company!

We recently had full interior house painting done. I was dreading the whole procedure but Gary and the team made it a breeze. From quoting, to colour selection, job completion and minor corrections everything was completed to our complete satisfaction prior to any payment request. I would not hesitate to recommend ADP.

Approximate cost: $7000

Hi Margaret, thanks for your review. The guys enjoyed painting your home.

Internal repaint was done as required. Gary came out prior to painting and discussed and demonstrated the colours after I had chosen them with the complimentary colour consultant visit. The quality of the painting was great. The painter was very thorough and good at teh important cutting in.

Approximate cost: $7000

We love a quality outcome, too. And really believe in getting colour right. Thanks for hiring us.

I had to have a living room and kitchen ceiling redone with one coat after I made a mess of it myself before new carpet was being installed. Gary quoted for the job on Saturday and said he could have it done on Monday before the carpet went in on Tuesday. It was a quality job. I chose Gary because my Body Corporate had used him to paint the unit block in 2010 at 89 Alderley Avenue and it still looks great. Also because he is a Dulux accredited painter.

Approximate cost: $275

Thanks for your review Paul. We were very pleased to help!

You're in good hands

A BIG thankyou to Gary, Rachael and the Applied and Decorative Painting
(ADP) team.

Not a big job, but, when preparing to sell our house we contacted ADP for
a quote to repair and paint a few ‘neglected' areas we identified as possible distractions to potential buyers. An old water damaged wall, set of windows
and the front stairs.

Gary arrived on time and delivered a price well within our budget.
He also pointed us in the direction of a trusted house washer.

What a transformation, brilliant!!

We were so impressed we decided to get them back to give our ‘tired' bathroom the once over!

Talk about money well spent… The house wash and ‘touch-ups' I am convinced were a major contributing factor in securing our quick sale (four days) and achieving a price well above what we anticipated.

We couldn't be happier.

We highly recommend ADP for all your painting needs.

Thanks Sabina and Richard! We always say it's amazing what a difference a good coat of paint makes :)

As a first time renovator, I approached the painting of my inner city unit with - well "trepidation" :) . Soo many painters but how to chose the 'right one' for me ? Luckily I came across Gary from Applied and Decorative.

I got a few quotes but the reason I chose Gary was because he noticed and offered to do the extra bits that would make a good job GREAT- attention to detail. I had had the cupboard guttered but there were some problems in the cupboard which Gary noticed and stated they could fix and then paint over ! Done !

Colour selection was easy with large panel on wall painted to give me an idea before chosing. Done !

They could start only a few weeks after ! Done !

Guaranteed would turn up on time ! Done!

Would be done in two days. This was not done BECAUSE my unit is old and required some extra preparation and care of the ceilings- I was VERY happy that they did not rush and did a great job! Jin the painter did an extremely professional job. I was more than happy. The outcome is FABULOUS.

I will definately use Gary and his team again in the future. Jin was very professional, considerate, and did a very precise, neat and efficient job. Gary went out of his way to stay in communication with me every step to make sure I was happy.

Approximate cost: $2,200

Professional and courteous. The team did a great job with no fuss and no mess. Thoroughly recommend them.

Gary and his team were appointed by our insurance company repairers to fix internal water damage from recent storms.
We had plastering and paint repairs to be done. Gary was in touch really quickly, fantastic regular communication followed, the guy sent to do the work was so friendly, professional and excellent to deal with. I'll happily use them again & I'd recommend them to everyone

3 years ago, Gary and his team painted the outside of our cottage. When we wanted our current house painted, we did the 'right thing' and got 3 quotes. Gary came out on top again. The team came and completed the work efficiently in 2 days with a 3rd day of quality control to ensure we were completely satisfied with the job. We were. When we want the outside done, we'll just go straight to Gary and his team.

I used Applied Decorative Painting for a full interior paint job, time was very tight with new tenants about to move in. They were able to bring a large team and complete the job in a single weekend. No hesitation in recommending ADP as a professional outfit giving a high level of service.

Looking to have some work done after Christmas so will look into them, Thanks.

Have used Applied & Decorative Painting twice now, and both times service & quality have been great.

First time was two and a half years ago to paint whole interior of house we had just purchased before moving in and have the front and back deck stained.

Gary spent a lot of time and effort showing colours in big patches to allow us to feel confident in the colour choices we were making.

Most recently we had them back in to re-stain front and back deck due to weather wear. They look so fresh and new now!

Approximate cost: $1100

Full exterior house paint. Great service, professional workmen, and very good communication. No problems arose & all issues resolved. Heartily recommend them.

My house needed painting inside and out. Gary Wilson came out and demonstrated various shades of paint colours by applying these in large sections of the hallway. This made my final choice of combination so much easier. Craig and his team arrived every day on time, they were friendly and polite during the whole 14 days it took completing their task with a minimal inconvenience to my every day lifestyle. They moved all heavy furniture, carried out minor repairs where required and cleaned up in the afternoon on completion of each day's work, no mess and damage. I am happy with the final result and have received many complements by family and friend on the way my home looks now. I have no hesitation to recommend Applied & Decorative Painting for domestic and commercial projects.
Many thanks again Gary and team! Helmut

Approximate cost: $16,500.00

Agreed. the fact that Gary takes so much time and effort to make you comfortable with the colour choices is such a plus!

Repainted entire large rendered luxury house fences and pool areas including re rendering some walls. Gary,s colour consultant was very helpful and the tradesmen very obliging with painting sample areas. The overall result is stunning! Any issues were rectified immediately and payment was not expected until we were 100% satisfied.

Approximate cost: $19,000

Excellent customer service.

I would definitely recommend the work of Applied and Decorative Painting. We had the exterior of our house painted recently, and nothing was too much trouble for the team. The service included a Dulux colour consultant, and Gary went out of his way to make sure we were happy with our final colour choice. The team who painted our house were incredibly professional, friendly and easy to deal with. I would suggest getting Colin to be on deck, as he is a fabulous supervisor. Their follow up service is good too...we were told to call if we noticed any detail that needed touching up and they would be back. Although the price was higher than other quotes, we were satisfied that the quality and service made up for the extra cost.

Approximate cost: $13,000

We had to paint our office internally to give it a refreshed look. The guys at A&DP came out to quote us straight away, provided us with colour samples, and had a colour consultant available if needed.
We made multiple changes to the colours prior the work being done, and the boys were more than accommodating.
The work was completed in 2 days as agreed and to a very high standard-no mess, no edges missed!
Would use this company again.

Looking to have my cement resealed, I contacted this company. I was offered a different solution which was to coat it in a "great product" which would have it looking like new. After a quotation, I employed this company to coat my driveway, patio, garden edges and pathways around my home. The initial job seemed to go well but after only three months, the paint began to crack and peel off and as time went on it got worse. It took many weeks for the owner to come and have a look. He promised to get back with a solution and honor his written guarantee. Over a 7 month period, I was given many times that the work would be done but was continually disappointed (and moving furniture around in anticipation). Finally, I was promised that the painters would be coming to scrap back the peeling paint, prep the surface and put down another product which would form a bond allowing a final coat to be put down. There was no scraping back of the peeling paint, no preparing the surface. An apprentice was left to roller over everything including mud, bird droppings, grass, any thing sitting on the cement. I expressed major concern that without any prep this new paint coating would not solve the problem. At the time I contacted Dulux who advised me that the product used was totally unsuitable and would without a doubt come off again. The only solution offered was to put down the same product again - blaming me for the choice of product (because he gave me two choices in his quotation - one which he said would probably last for 15 years and the more expensive a bit longer). He gave a 10 year warranty against peeling but has not been willing to honor it apart from putting down the same product over top of more peeling and paint.

This company has been continually unreliable, failed to use a suitable product and left me with a hideous mess which does not have an easy (nor cheap) solution.

Approximate cost: $3000.00

We are very sad this former client is not 100 per cent satisfied with our work, however, we have done everything in our power to try to resolve the situation, which is not reflected in this review.

Due to the client’s budget constraints, we originally used a cheaper product which turned out to not be the best product for the job. We let the client know we would pay for the product to be removed by the contractor of her choice, and this went ahead. The product was removed and we paid the invoice.

We have not heard anything further from the client, leading us to believe the issue has been resolved.
