Protecting Your Investment

Furniture and floor protection

Look, we know your home isn't just a bunch of walls - it's where you live! That's why before we even think about cracking open a paint tin, we make sure everything's ship-shape:

  • We'll carefully shift the small stuff out of the way
  • Big furniture? We'll pop it in the middle and wrap it up snug
  • Anything that might take a tumble gets secured

It's all about making sure your place is as tidy when we leave as it was when we arrived. No stress, no mess - that's our promise.

Why Prep Work Matters in Wanaka

Wall preparation and sanding

Alright, this is where the magic starts to happen. Before we make your walls look mint, we need to sort out any issues:

  • Filling in those pesky cracks? You bet.
  • Smoothing out dings and dents? Absolutely.
  • Scraping off old, flaky paint? Consider it done.
  • Slapping on some primer if needed? No worries.
  • Sanding everything down? Smooth as a baby's bum, mate.

Thanks to Brad for doing such an amazing job on our Wānaka house - the newly stained cedar looks beautiful and the whole house has had a lift. It was very easy to work with Brad as out-of-town home owners. Highly recommended!

Brad was very professional and a great communicator. I am overseas and it was super easy dealing with him. He got the job done and was in touch every step of the way. He is thorough and did a great job. I would definitely use him again if need be and he comes highly recommended. Thanks very much for a job well done!
