Recognition Highly Commended, MPNZ 2020

A home that came to us by reputation

When a homeowner chooses Wall Treats because they've seen our work at a neighbour's property, it's the highest compliment we can receive. In this case, that trust ran deep — this classical arts and crafts manor in Epsom is one of four neighbouring properties we have had the privilege of working on. Rather than searching the market, our client came to us because the evidence was right next door. That's the kind of reputation we spend every project building.

When the client has a world-class eye

This property is owned by an internationally acclaimed New Zealand artist, whose works are exhibited in galleries around the world. As a result, the standard we were working to wasn't simply good. It had to be faultless. When your client has spent a career understanding what excellence looks like, there is no margin for compromise. That clarity, however, is something we welcome. It's precisely the brief we're built for. If you're curious about how we approach colour and finish for homes like this, our Colour Consultancy service is worth exploring.

The detail that sets the standard

Beyond the repaint itself, we went a step further to ensure every element of this home was restored to its original glory. A set of century-old wrought iron balustrades — a defining feature of the property's character — were arranged to be sandblasted before being refinished. Because preparation is where quality is won or lost, we treated every surface, every period detail, and every heritage element with the same care.

Recognised. Recommended. Returned To.

Our client, Tony Lane, put it clearly: "The level of preparation undertaken is a key measure of the quality of a painting contractor, and Wall Treats took this stage of the process seriously and did an exceptional job... We would not hesitate to recommend Wall Treats to anyone looking to have their home painted." Furthermore, in 2020 the judges at the Master Painters New Zealand Awards agreed - awarding the project Highly Commended in the Residential Rework Exterior (Character) category. It's the same benchmark we were awarded in 2019, and it reflects the same commitment to getting every detail right.

Your home has a standard. Let's Honour It.

If you own a character home in Auckland and you want it painted by a team that will treat it with the respect it deserves, we'd love to take a look. There's no obligation, just an honest assessment from Auckland's award-winning Master Painters.
