our values

our values

health

  • Conventional paints and oils, and many other materials used in the trades, contain thousands of different harmful chemicals. We prioritise the health and well-being of our clients, which is why we specialise in the application of 100% natural paints, derived from renewable, organic sources.

  • Our focus on natural paints eliminates harmful chemicals and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), promoting better indoor air quality and a space that is safe for you and your family. We believe in keeping you fully informed about the materials and processes involved in your project.

  • We communicate openly, ensuring you have a clear understanding of every step. Whether it's discussing the types of natural paints we use or providing information on other materials involved, our goal is to empower you with knowledge.

quality

  • Quality is the cornerstone of our service. We bring skill and precision to every project. From trim detailing to custom finishes, quality is a priority for us.

  • We use high-quality materials for longevity and a meticulous approach that ensures every aspect of your project receives the attention it deserves.

sustainability

  • We are proud to offer our better service, which exclusively uses paints crafted from natural and renewable resources. Unlike conventional petrochemical-based paints, natural paints are free from over 1,000 undisclosed ingredients, eliminating the risk of harmful toxins being released into the air during and after application.

  • Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are notorious for releasing harmful toxins during painting. While many low VOC paints in New Zealand focus on outdoor air pollution, our preferred paints are not only VOC-free but also completely devoid of other harmful chemicals.

  • It doesn't end with paint choices. We ensure that any waste-water used in our operations and clean-up is treated responsibly before being released back into the environment. We separate paint solids from our water and when using 100% natural products we are able to compost the waste.

  • We invest in top-quality tools and equipment, ensuring longevity and reducing the need for frequent replacements. Recognising the inevitability of single-use items in our trade, we put considerable effort into caring for and extending the lifespan of such items. We aim for delivering high-quality results and minimising the generation of unnecessary waste.

integrity

  • Our ethical approach involves transparency, honesty, and a commitment to delivering on our promises. We take pride in our work and ensure that every aspect of our service aligns with the highest ethical standards.
