About Us Master Painter Ed McKelvey is the owner operator leading Restorative Painters.

Ed is an exceptional painter with over 20 years’ experience. Auckland native Ed Mckelvey grew up in Remuera and attended Sacred Heart College. As a teen, Ed helped his uncle, who was ‘a jack of all trades’. “My uncle used to get me to do all the painting jobs and I took a liking to it. I enjoy the results and job satisfaction I get from painting.”

A modern approach

Initially, Ed specialized in restoring heritage homes to their former glory and brings that careful touch to high end properties all over Auckland. 

In 2018, Ed was the painter on TVNZ’s two-day home makeover show, HomeMade, accumulating plenty of experience delivering finished rooms under a tight deadline.
