Paradise Painting Services is a family-run painting and decorating company based at 52 Ludlam Street, Wellington, serving homeowners and businesses across the Wellington region for more than 20 years. Director and owner Marc Waterworth leads a team of nearly 20 experienced, skilled and friendly staff, alongside general manager Paris Waterworth, administration manager Jack Waterworth and marketing manager Julie Richards.
The company handles residential and commercial projects of all sizes, offering interior and exterior painting, decorating, plastering, gib stopping, wallpapering, roof painting and paint stripping. Preparation is treated as part of the job: walls are plastered, cracks and holes filled and surfaces sanded before painting begins, and floors and furniture that cannot be moved are covered to protect them from splashes. Only high-quality paints are used, with Dulux, Resene, Colorex and Ceiling & Drywall Supplies among their affiliated suppliers.
Credentials matter here. Paradise Painting Services is a member of Master Painters for painting, decorating and plastering services, is Dulux Accredited, and holds memberships with Sitesafe and Hazard Co reflecting a health-and-safety-focused approach. All work is guaranteed for two years — double the standard 12-month legal requirement — with a Master Painters Guarantee of up to five years on agreed projects, and professional indemnity insurance is held for all jobs.
Clients have clearly noticed: the company is rated 98% on NoCowboys by almost 100 clients and counts many repeat customers among the more than 1,000 clients served over its 20-plus-year history. Free quotes are usually sent within two working days of reviewing a project, remote quoting is available if preferred, and enquiries are typically answered within 24 hours.
Paradise Painting Services is a residential and commercial painting and decorating company working across the Wellington region from its base on Ludlam Street. The business has more than two decades of history behind it and has served well over 1,000 clients in that time, supported today by a team of nearly 20 experienced, skilled and friendly staff.
It is very much a family affair. Marc Waterworth, the director and owner, fronts the company personally and invites anyone in the Wellington region to call about a quote for a painting project, whatever its size. He is joined by Paris Waterworth as general manager, Jack Waterworth as administration manager, Julie Richards as marketing manager, and Mason Waterworth completing the management group.
The company's credentials are displayed plainly: it is a member of Master Painters for painting, decorating and plastering services, Dulux Accredited, and a member of Sitesafe and Hazard Co, reflecting a deliberately health-and-safety-focused approach. A Master Painters NZ Gold Sticker and a BCITO affiliation sit alongside those memberships.
Reputation is backed by numbers. Paradise is rated 98% on NoCowboys by almost 100 clients and says it is consistently rated above 97% on the platform, with many repeat customers over the years. Guarantees back the workmanship: all work carries a two-year guarantee — double the standard 12-month legal requirement — and agreed projects can carry a Master Painters Guarantee of up to five years. Professional indemnity insurance is held for all jobs.
The service list is broad for a painting company. On the residential side there is interior and exterior house painting, wallpapering and roof painting. On the commercial side, the team paints for Wellington businesses and nearby areas and also works alongside construction companies on new commercial builds in the region. Plastering and gib stopping round out the trade skills, and paint stripping is offered too.
Preparation is treated as part of the job rather than an extra. That means plastering walls, filling in cracks and holes and sanding down surfaces before painting begins, covering floors and furniture that cannot be moved to protect them from splashes, and tidying up as the job progresses. The company states it uses only high-quality paints, drawing on affiliated suppliers including Dulux, Resene, Colorex and Ceiling & Drywall Supplies.
Communication is a stated strength: fast turnaround on quotes, comprehensive quoting, reliability in turning up on time and continuing until the project is complete, and attention to detail supported by quality control processes.
The process starts with a call or text. Enquiries are typically answered within 24 hours, and once the project has been reviewed a free quote is usually sent within two working days. Remote quoting is available if a site visit is not convenient, and references from clients can be provided on request. Pricing is described as market-related, aimed at being affordable for the average homeowner and commercial client without compromising on quality.
For those researching before they call, the company's website carries a gallery of completed projects — home renovations and backyard transformations among them — along with testimonials and a blog covering practical topics such as paint sheen levels, colour psychology and the case for a spring repaint.
Between the family leadership, the accreditation wall and the guarantee terms, Paradise Painting Services positions itself as a dependable, established choice for anyone in Wellington needing painting, decorating, plastering or roof painting — from a single room to a full commercial build.
