For decorating work in the greater Wellington region, Paul Reddish Decorators 2009 Ltd. has been a familiar name since 1981. What started decades ago has grown into a team of 17 full-time staff, a scale the company puts down to steady demand for tradespeople who are properly trained and qualified rather than a race to the bottom on price.
The firm works across both residential and commercial decorating, taking on everything from home interiors and exteriors through to large commercial repaint and rework projects. Being based at the Basin Reserve puts the team centrally in Wellington, within easy reach of jobs across the wider region.
The company describes quality workmanship as the standard it holds itself to, and backs that up with continued investment in staff training. That combination of experience and ongoing upskilling is a large part of why the business has stayed in demand long enough to expand its team over the years.
Paul Reddish Decorators has a long history at the Master Painters of the Year Awards, the industry's benchmark competition, with results stretching from 2011 through to 2020.
In 2011 the team took out three category wins, for Best Enviro Management, Best Commercial Rework Interior and Best Commercial New Interior, along with a runner-up placing for Residential Dwelling Rework Exterior. A further Best Commercial Rework Interior win followed in 2012, and a Highly Commended for Commercial Rework Interior Character came in 2014.
2015 was a standout year: five category wins across Commercial New Interior Large, Commercial Specialty/Industrial Coatings, Intergrain Excellence to Timber, Commercial Rework Interior Contemporary and Commercial Environmental Management, plus a Highly Commended for Commercial Rework Interior Character. That year also brought the company's biggest individual honour, being named 2015 Commercial Master Painter of the Year.
The recognition has continued since, with a Highly Commended for Residential Rework Exterior Contemporary in 2016, a Commercial Rework Interior Character - Large win in 2018 alongside two more Highly Commended placings for Protective & Industrial Coatings and Commercial New Interior Large, and a Highly Commended for Commercial Intergrain Timber Rework in 2020.
Taken together, the results point to a business with genuine depth across interior and exterior work, rework of existing spaces, specialty and industrial coatings, and timber coating with Intergrain products, on top of a stated focus on environmental management practices on site.
