About Us

  • “Friendly, professional communication; detailed invoicing breakdowns; highly competitive prices; a willingness to do things right; and a solid final result. I have already recommended Better House Painters to friends and colleagues.”
    - Colin, Snells Beach

  • I highly recommend Sam and Bianca from Better House Painters to anybody wanting a high quality painting job. Their care and attention to detail can’t be faulted. I was very pleased with what they did - sanding back and staining four old cedar doors , returning them to as new condition.

    - Adrianne, Tawharanui

  • Better House Painters exceeded our expectations. Sam and Bianca brought warmth and professionalism to our home. We loved their commitment to eco-friendly paints. From start to finish they worked with care and quality. Highly recommend!
    - Miranda, Piha

  • Sam and Bianca just finished painting our bedroom and bathroom and they have done a brilliant job. They were meticulous in finding the exact dark tone I wanted in an eco friendly paint. They were were really professional and ultra tidy and really great people to have working in your house. I couldn't recommend them more highly.
    - Al, Big Omaha

  • We commissioned Better House Painters to paint the full interiors, furniture and Bianca also handpainted a mural around the top section of the wall. I’ve just seen it personally and the finished work is beautiful! Fantastic service throughout, everything was completed professionally and neatly. We will definitely use your services again and recommend you to others. The kids love the new look of the Playcentre and we couldn’t have asked for a better finish, thank you!

  • Sam’s processes in decorating are tidy, clean, fast + efficient. He keeps an organised worksite + has an exceptional workflow. Highly recommended. Sam is an excellent painter.
    - Tanya, Taranaki

  • Have used Sam a couple of times and have always been extremely impressed by his work. He is a friendly, easy to work with painter who is meticulous and always delivers a great looking result - always at a fair price. Also leaves the job clean and tidy which is great . I’d highly recommend him to anyone who wants a quality job at a good price.
    - Steve, Omaha

  • Awesome job! Sam painted our house inside and out on the Northern Beaches, Sydney. We are very pleased with the end result. Professional, reliable attention to detail, and friendly service.
    - Rachel

  • At every stage, Bianca and Sam have been absolute professionals: friendly, calm, reliable and conscientious. I appreciate how they are highly transparent about the project's costing, providing an itemised list of each expense at every stage. I can't recommend them enough! I have so many more house painting projects on our reno to-do list, and I'll definitely be turning to better house painters for these. They’ve given me peace of mind, and now my studio is looking like something out of a magazine! I am beyond stoked with their work and service.

    It was a long job for your team with all the weather delays and the requirements for various timber improvements. Thanks to all your team for their conscientious work and attention to detail. I think you have achieved a splendid result and you should all take a bow!
