"A big thanks to Merryweather Renovatiions for top quality job.

Ben (and Dave) did an excellent job painting the exterior of our home and touching up some of the interior paint work (plastering and painting.

Ben's communication throughout the job was top notch. He was extremely considerate when working inside the house and the quality of the work was 5 stars.

I'd definitely use Merryweather again and recommend to others."

"Ben has just finished painting the exterior of our two story house and we could not be more happy with the result. He went above and beyond for us, fixing issues that we were not aware of, whilst taking the time to ensure the job was done to a very high standard, on time and on budget.
As someone who struggles with OCD, his attention to detail was amazing to see and this showed with the finish being top notch. Our house has never looked better!
I would highly recommend Merryweather renovations, we will definitely be using them again next time we need some painting work done. A++"

"Ben's craftmanship is excellent. He did an amazing job with the painting. We're really happy with his work. He even helped us with choosing the right colour too.
Ben was also able to the complete the building repair work as well to an excellent standard which made the whole process super easy for us, as no job was too big or too small. Its not often you're able to find a person who can undertake the repair work as well as the paint work to an excellent standard.
Ben's pricing is excellent and I feel he was completely honest and transparent with us without the process.
Well done Ben! You'll forever be our go to person for us.
We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him to anyone! A++🙂"

Wish I could provide before and after photos here, the transformation is amazing!

Ben does a fantastic job and takes pride in his work - exactly what you want from a painter.

I was impressed with Ben's punctuality and I cannot fault the work completed.

Also undertook some repairs to and old box section galvanized gutter and that came up fantastic.

Highly recommended to all."

"Last year my daughter was looking for a painting company to repaint her property that had the original 40+ year paint exterior. We got several quotes, which were all well-presented and detailed. Ben stood out as easy to deal with and professional in his approach and advice. The work was started and completed in the expected time frame. A lot of prep work was required and Ben even re-prepped an area he wasn't totally happy with. The finished job was a high standard with a visitor asking if it was a new build as the finish was that good. As a tradesperson myself I recognize a good guality job and appreciate good communication skills. Ben was great to work with and we would recommend he be considered for anyone looking for a painter - but good tradespeople are busy so plan ahead. Thanks Ben. Hannah and Pete / Tawa."

"We had Merryweather Renovations paint three rooms in our home, and we could not be happier. The entire process was a pleasure. Benjamin responded quickly to our initial contact, he met with us promptly to give a quote (which was very fair), and he was available to do the work quickly once we decided to move ahead. Once the job began, he was also efficient and very professional. The job was completed right when he said it would be, and all three rooms look fantastic. We were also pleased that he left our home in perfect condition--there was no evidence that anyone had even been there except for the fact that the walls now looked gorgeous! We are very pleased with our entire experience with Merryweather Renovations and will certainly call them again for any future painting needs."

"Overall I am very happy with the work Ben and Phil completed. I was a little worried at first, as it seemed progress was a bit slow. However, once prep work was completed Ben and Phil raced along.

The guys stored all their gear in a spare room and always left the space clean and tidy at the end of each day. I was really pleased with their willingness to listen to my concerns and address small details that made the job look that much better once complete.

Merryweather Renovations was also very competitive on pricing.

The end result looks very good and I have happily recommend them to family and would employ them again for future work too."
