Painting and decorating
Hi, John from Tengate Paint here. The last time I advertised here was over 2 years ago. I received lots of work from the advert as well as through word of mouth. I retired from being a graphic designer 7 years ago and now work as a house painter. I have had a lot of previous experience, having refurbished many homes, so I began working for a commercial operator for a year. I learned a lot but also found the quality of workmanship wanting, particularly in the area of preparation. So I decided to go out on my own using my own contacts and got sufficient work for a few years, all from word of mouth. My standard of preparation, the most important aspect of an excellent job, I could proudly state is as good if not better than most, and have many references to verify this. I do not do quotes as they require a contingency percentage and one party loses or often short cuts are taken. I prefer to give estimates of time instead. If I come across an unexpected problem, for instance rot, which I can fix, I will discuss this with you on how to proceed. My hourly rate is $45 and I have very good paint discounts which I pass on directly to clients. I am happy to do house lots or small jobs. So, after 2 years of not having to advertise I am looking for more work now, particularly inside with winter upon us. If you want a high quality job, no short cuts taken and a win/win for both parties, I look forward to discussing what you have in mind. Attached are some recent jobs. Ceiling work, blonding of doors making old varnished doors more modern, a complete repaint of a two storied large apartment, and a large exterior job. Cheers John 021 102 8646

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
