Remarkable Finish is a Queenstown-based painting and decorating company founded by Steve and Sonja, with over 10 years of experience and more than 500 completed projects across the Queenstown Lakes District. The company offers a full range of painting services for homes, businesses and new construction, covering everything from small refreshes to full-scale builds, inside and out.
Remarkable Finish is licensed and insured, and backs its work with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. The team also offers eco-friendly, low-VOC paint options for clients wanting a more environmentally conscious finish, along with reliable, on-time scheduling for every project.
Founded on the belief that every surface tells a story, Steve and Sonja lead a team focused on precision, care and attention to detail — from the initial colour consultation through to final cleanup. The business has built a reputation across Queenstown and surrounding areas, including historic homes in Arrowtown and new residential developments.
Since starting out, Remarkable Finish has grown into one of the go-to painting and decorating companies in the Queenstown Lakes District, with more than 500 completed projects and over 10 years of experience behind the team. Founded by Steve and Sonja, the company operates on a simple philosophy — every surface tells a story, and their job is to help tell it well.
For homeowners, Remarkable Finish covers the full spectrum of painting needs, from interior and exterior painting through to new home painting for fresh builds. The team also handles cabinet painting and refinishing, trim and baseboard detail work, drywall repair and patching, and offers colour consultation for anyone unsure where to start. Whether it's a full repaint as part of a renovation or a smaller refresh, the team applies the same level of care to each job.
On the interior side, services extend beyond simple wall painting to cover ceilings, crown molding, doors, window frames, feature and accent walls, cabinetry, and stair railings. The team also installs wallpaper and carries out the priming and sanding work needed to get surfaces ready before any paint goes on — the kind of preparation work that often determines how a finished job holds up over time.
Queenstown's climate makes exterior painting particularly demanding, and Remarkable Finish's exterior services reflect that — covering siding in wood, stucco, vinyl and brick, along with cedar staining, sealing and painting for decks and outdoor structures. The team also handles fascia, soffits, trim, front doors, shutters, garage doors, fences and decks, backed by pressure washing, caulking and crack sealing, and weather-resistant coatings designed to hold up against the elements.
For business clients, Remarkable Finish offers light commercial painting for offices, retail spaces, cafés, and rental unit turnovers, along with exterior building painting and work on new commercial builds. The team offers flexible scheduling, including after-hours and weekend work, to help minimise disruption to an active business — an important consideration for retail and hospitality clients who can't easily close up shop during the day.
Remarkable Finish's project history spans historic homes in Arrowtown, new residential developments like Golden Homes, and commercial fit-outs such as the O Studio offices, alongside cedar deck restorations and community projects like a Cancer Society fundraiser. Client feedback consistently highlights the team's punctuality, professionalism and attention to detail, with repeat clients including local construction and building companies.
Remarkable Finish offers free, no-obligation estimates, with the team aiming to respond within 24 hours of a quote request.
