Based in Elsdon, Porirua, Kieran Kelly Painters and Decorators has built a reputation across the Wellington region as a Registered Master Painter with 28 years of experience. The business describes itself as knowledgeable and approachable, using the latest technology and techniques while never compromising on old-fashioned, reliable service.
Kieran Kelly offers a wide range of services covering both interior and exterior work, including spray painting, wallpapering, waterproofing and water blasting. The team also specialises in more specific jobs like liquid paint removal — described as the safe way to remove old paint — and safe lead paint removal, an important consideration for older Wellington homes where lead-based paint can still be present. For larger projects, Kieran Kelly also manages sub-trades, coordinating other tradespeople as needed to keep a job moving smoothly.
As a Registered Master Painter with a large team behind him, Kieran Kelly positions the business as equally capable of handling small touch-ups and full-scale repaints. The company describes itself as expert in both repainting existing properties and painting new builds, giving homeowners and property owners a single point of contact regardless of the scope of the job.
Kieran Kelly's portfolio includes several award-recognised projects through the Master Painters Awards. A Mt Victoria home in Wellington, which involved complete paint removal and a full interior repaint, won an award in 2015. In 2018, a 1980s Lockwood home in Tawa earned recognition in the Master Painters Awards after being transformed with a full paint strip and a new blue-grey colour scheme, replacing the original white weatherboards and brown windows and roof.
Client testimonials consistently highlight professionalism, attention to detail, and a tidy, well-managed process. Reviewers describe Kieran and his team covering windows and door frames carefully before starting work, completing large exterior jobs — including installing scaffolding on multi-storey homes — efficiently and securely, and going the extra mile, such as organising additional trades like builders and glaziers when preparation work revealed issues beyond painting. Several clients note they are returning customers or plan to use Kieran Kelly again for future projects.
