Ben Bayly, Titirangi
Ben hired Ed and Restorative Painters as part of a new house build. Ed was recommended by the builder and “his pricing was spot on so I didn’t even get another quote”.
For Ben “the experience was awesome. Ed is an exceptional painter. He’s the only one I would recommend”. The finished home has been seen in Ben’s TV show “A New Zealand Food Story” (see Season 1, Episode 8).
Ed and the Restorative Painters team “are efficient, they have all the gear, and they are fast”. The results were excellent. “I’ve hired other painters and had to have them back three times to redo the work. With Ed it was done right the first time”.
In addition to exceptional painting skills, Ed brought project management expertise, advising in earlier stages to elevate the house build and ensure a great result. “Ed works well with all the tradies. Painting is 80% preparation and 20% putting the paint on. As the last tradie in, the painter needs everything done properly before they come in”. Ben engaged Ed early, and benefited from Ed’s project management and depth of experience. “He came through the build early and forsaw problems before they could even arise, such as pointing out there weren’t enough screws in the gib”. This helped Ben get the best end result.
Ben’s advice to others building a house? “Get your painter in early, before the build starts, so they can work closely with the builder, insulator, gib fixer, plasterer”. Ed and the team at Restorative Painters can join your house build team early in the process, or take on the project management role, bringing years of experience and great relationships with trusted tradespeople together to ensure a beautiful result.
