Celt Paint And Paper
Painting & Decorating Contractors in Massey

"The job included the papering of a feature wall - and the wallpaper was a beautiful seagrass paper - so not your run-of-the-mill paper. And in a nutshell, Carhn did a wonderful job.. in fact I'd describe it as 'a craftsman at work'. I have no hesitation in recommending - and I'd even suggest you have a plate of Anzac biscuits on the bench for his morning tea!"

"What an amazing job Carhn did for my home. Carhn is a really nice, easy-going, friendly person to have around your home while completing the job. He painted and wallpapered my hallway and living room, he also painted my dining and kitchen, front deck and outside gable/eaves. He work is 10/10. He treated my home as if it were his own - and tidied up after himself each day. His quotes are very fairly priced - and the final result makes it well worth your choice for choosing him as your contractor. VERY highly recommend Carhn to anyone else who may be considering decorating."

"We had two properties that required some exterior painting. We had a painter recommended to us by another party and selected Carhn from the No Cowboys website as we wanted a 2nd option. The other painter came in a lot cheaper on one property, and they were about the same on the 2nd property so we decided to give one job to each and do a comparison for future reference. Both were easy to deal with and turned up when they said they would and billed exactly what they quoted, but the quality of Carhn\'s work was definitely better than the other painter. We had a delay caused by a builder on the property that Carhn was painting which meant that he wasn\'t able to finish when he otherwise would have but he was happy to come back and finish the painting once the builder had finished his bit and didn\'t charge any extra for the extra trip. Carhn was a pleasure to deal with, His communication throughout is excellent. We would be more than happy to use Carhn again."
