Painting and decorating

John from Campbells Bay

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
