For this house the builders had to take an existing house, demolish most of it and rebuild it. However they had to still keep most of the existing house footprint to comply with zoning regulations. Consequently we have a modern house nestled into the Thorndon hillside
Features
The exterior of the house was clad in cedar cladding which was coated in Dryden’s Wood Oil. We had to spray various areas on Titan board with a Metallic Paint finish.
We also had to work in with the builders with the painting & installation of the bargeboards to make sure that no paint got on the cedar cladding due to the tight nature of the bargeboard/cladding detail.
Due to being designed by Parsonsons Architects the interior has their signature long thin architraves for their door and window details. Also their change of colour on these details provided us a tricky painting challenge.
The other feature is the use of the interior cedar. Again this is a striking feature of the home and a challenge to coat once installed.
Nathan & team provided a great service. They advised & carried out our exterior painting work on time & on budget. Highly recommend the team for professional painting services.

We have been confident and comfortable using Flett Painters over several years and types of jobs for our family properties. We are so pleased with the quality of what they do and the value they deliver we have stopped seeking competitive quotes.
This last job was inside our home and some difficult repair work on the outside of our own home. In summary:
* Excellent quality job;
* The fantastic selection of skilled craftsmen painters...with the addition of being very nice civilised, they are exemplary;
* Bill and Fraser make an excellent team, working well without being intrusive, being incredibly punctual and polite with a great sense of humour. The company can be proud of them;
* They were nicely complemented by supervisor Vance and together the result was what we hoped for.

This is the third time we have used Flett painters and we are very happy with the result. The foreman Dan is very helpful and obliging. Keith and Johnny did a fabulous job. A special thank you to Keith for going the extra mile.

Absolute legends like Dan are master painters for a reason!
This was a commercial building for a church. It was a big co-ordination operation with the building company. Everything had a timeframe and was on a larger scale than normal.
This was a large new house build. It was a difficult site with many levels to get to. The house level of finish was extremely high. There are cedar ceilings and walls, an internal pool, a see-through glass walkway and more. It was a real pleasure to be able to be part of this project.
For this job the builders constructed a new café for a golf course which then had an apartment built on top. There is the mix between retail, commercial kitchen and a personal retreat space.
This was a new house build. The house comprises a high stud central wall that is the spine of the home with the rest of the house flowing off this. There are timber veneer doors and a lot of bright colours throughout the house that gave us a challenge with matching everything in to a high standard.
This job for the builder was to build a new house in Seatoun for their clients. Due to the sloping section it was a challenging build, but it created the opportunity to have a lot of different spaces. The house is built over 4 Levels. We painted the interior of the house. The attention to detail by the builders’ is amazing and required a lot of planning and collaboration to make sure all the details could be painted properly in the right sequence.
This project was taking an old 1970’s home and renovating it to make it contemporary and a lot easier to live in. It has a lot of 1970’s features that have been reworked and modernised.
