What first drew our attention to ADP was the very quick response to our request for an inspection for a full house paint. Promptly after the inspection we received a very professional looking quote. We were very impressed with the detail of the quote and links to photos of parts of the house to explain the area in the quote. We accepted the Colour Consultant meeting (and we were so glad we did!), we thought we knew what we were looking for but turned out we wouldn't have been able to even pick the right colors!
On the first day, the guys arrived on time and to our surprise began work almost immediately, no mucking around for half a day wondering where to start. The guys were on time (if not early) every morning. They were friendly and answered any questions that came their way. They were let down a couple of days where their apprentice didn't show up but they still finished the job on time. We had some issues with storm damage shortly after the completion of our job which Gary and Darren promptly assisted us with.
Every step of the way we were met with professional, polite, friendly and hard working individuals.
Although not the cheapest of the quotes we received from painters, we were very happy we chose ADP and would be happy to recommend to anyone.

We wanted to repaint our three bedroom 2 bathroom apartment after we had major renovations to bathrooms, laundry, built in cupboards and extensive tiling of floors. Our experience with the contractor who undertook this work was not a happy one. We decided to have the painting done even though the Reno work was still continuing. The bathroom renovator company had a 9 week contract that blew out to 16 weeks so we were a touch wary when we selected painters for quotes.
Gary from ADP was not the cheapest but we were impressed with his openness and honesty and we decided to go ahead with his quote. He promised to have the work completed in the four day week before Easter. Darren the Operations Manager checked in every day on progress and our satisfaction with the work.
Cameron and Tim did most of the work with Darren deploying an additional painter to help on the last day. Cameron was especially helpful. We agreed to early starts and the boys put in a major effort to deliver a quality job on time. They were meticulous in cleaning up.
The week following Easter saw Gary following up with any touch ups required. There were very minor touch ups required and one or two of these were caused by me in hanging pictures. Caneron returned to do the work. He was thorough, friendly and left us totally satisfied. Thank you, Gary, Darren, Cameron and Tim. What a team!

It is so rarely do we come across people who actually do what they say they will do. They have our very highest recommendation.

I was at my wits end at having painters and other trades people promise to come and give me a quote and not show up or get back to me. It made me wonder how much they value their business or reputation. Gary promised me ADP would be different and he has proved that every step of the way. They truly believe in customer service and every staff member I dealt with were personable and professional. They were efficient and precise in the paintwork and a pleasure to have work in my home. I would without a doubt use them again and refer others to ADP. They have restored my faith in tradespeople.

Have now used Applied and Decorative Painting for the fifth time for 3 Internal rooms, Full external timber house and timber fence.
Would certainly recommend their services.

Nice staff, very professional in helping to select the right colour! My only recommendation is to concentrate more on quality! Overall good! Would recommend!

We got our bathroom plastered and painted, as well as dings and marks removed and painted over throughout the house - the job was booked in quickly and the service was very friendly and efficient.

My partner and I contracted Applied & Decorative Painting to repaint the externals of our wooden house. The house is quite old and had been badly prepared prior to its last paint job by the previous owner resulting in large areas of paint lifting and wood being exposed. Gary was one of a few contractors who came to visit us to price the job. He came on a weekend which was very convenient for us and spent quite a lot of time examining the external paint and counseling us on what he thought we would need to get the house back in shape. Gary seemed very knowledgeable and serious about ensuring we get the best possible long-lasting results for our investment. Thanks to Gary's advice, we opted for chemical stripping prior to repainting. We also agreed to meet with a colour consultant to choose the best colour combination for our home as this was a free service Gary offered to supply. I was a bit reluctant at first (We thought to ourselves, how hard can it be to choose colours, right?) but with hindsight, it's really lucky we consulted on that as what we had in mind would have totally clashed with our brickwork!
The preparation was extensive and the guys did a lot of gap filling which means the final job looks very neat. The guys were also very considerate and kept the gates closed whenever possible or the dog tied up when they had to, this was a big concern of ours. All in all, a very nice job considering how big a job that was!
We would most definitely recommend Applied & Decorative Painting if you are looking for a thorough, professional and long-lasting paint job on your house externals.

They were fast, efficient, reliable and good value. We had to get the job done quickly and they turned up on time to quote, and got the job completed quickly.

Approximate cost: $5000

We had some repair/carpentry work and painting, our decks maintained and the common area interior + ceilings of our house painted. Gary and Darren's customer service was second to none. The staff they sent to do the work were punctual, very polite, easy to have in the house and cleaned up after themselves each day and their work was of a really high standard. The next time we need work done, Gary will be my first call. Linda Robinson.

We had a very small job - just painting a bathroom - however Gary prepared a thorough and detailed quote and Ken did an excellent job preparing and painting the room. We would be very happy to recommend Applied and Decorative Painting.
