House Painting: Why Expertise Matters

Most Canterbury homeowners have a “painter horror story.” It usually involves someone showing up late, leaving a mess on the carpet, or a paint job that looks patchy as soon as the sun hits it.

Your home isn’t a practice ground for amateurs. You shouldn’t have to worry about whether your painter is going to do what they promised. You deserve someone who treats your lounge or kitchen with the same respect they’d give a multi-million dollar landmark.

About me

Hi, I'm Craig Clery

You might have seen my work around Christchurch – I’ve worked on high-profile projects including the Stadium, Parakiore, heritage churches, and commercial buildings across the CBD.

But after 37 years in the trade, here’s what I’ve learned: a technically perfect interior application is just as demanding as any exterior job I’ve done. Different challenges, same uncompromising standards. Whether I’m fifty meters up or painting your living room, the goal stays the same – craftsmanship you can trust and results that last.

Central Christchurch

Helping build our new stadium

This huge addition to the Christchurch skyline required a finish as resilient as the city itself. I was proud to be on-site preparing and painting the superstructure with heavy-duty industrial coatings, ensuring it’s protected by a professional finish for years...

Prebbleton, Selwyn

Fresh look for the All Saints’ Church

This historic landmark established in 1860 needed a restoration to match its heritage. After a thorough waterblast, I applied a Galvanised Iron Primer and two premium top coats, leaving this local treasure with a revitalized, enduring finish.

Fendalton, Christchurch

Fendalton roof transformation complete

After a thorough high pressure waterblast and two solid sprayed coats of premium quality self-priming roof paint in Grey Friars, this home is looking better than ever. All done via rope and harness for a safe, smooth, and stunning finish!

Montreal st., Christchurch

CBD Apartment Block Roof Restoration

This CBD high-rise needed serious attention. After a thorough waterblast, new drypan flashings and skylights, oil-based primer, two undercoats and two topcoats - this roof is built to last decades. Not a job you want to do twice.

Bishopdale, Christchurch

Colorsteel roof restoration

This faded Colorsteel roof was thoroughly high pressure waterblasted and sprayed with two solid coats of premium self-priming roof paint in New Denim Blue, giving it a fresh, brand-new look and all completed safely by using a Rope & Harness...

Merivale, Christchurch

City House Transformation

After a high-pressure waterblast, I applied a zinc galvanized primer and two Ironsand colour topcoats. It perfectly complements the neighbourhood while restoring the home’s modern edge.

Ohoka, Waimakariri

Lifestyle home transformation

This Ohoka roof went from dull to dazzling! After a high-pressure waterblast, I airless sprayed two coats of Resene Roof Black to give this character home the sophisticated, modern crown it deserves.
