Excellence in Every Touch
Craig Clery Painting Services
I started my painting apprenticeship in 1990, and I’ve been working in Canterbury ever since – over 35 years. I’ve worked on everything from old heritage homes in Merivale and Fendalton to big commercial projects like the Christchurch Stadium, Parakiore, and CBD high-rises. I specialize in the tough jobs: clifftop homes across the Port Hills, complete roof makeovers, and projects where other painters say it’s too difficult.
Every property – whether it’s your home or your business – gets top-quality paints that handle Canterbury’s harsh winds and coastal weather. And you get my personal guarantee on every job.
