Small commercial painting in Tauranga

A shop fit-out, an office that’s starting to look tired, or a rental that needs turning around between tenants doesn’t need a big production made of it. It needs someone who turns up when they said they would, does it properly, and leaves the place ready to use. I quote it and I paint it, so you deal with me from the first visit to the final walk-round, and there are a lot fewer phone calls at your end.

What's included

  • A site visit and a fixed written quote
  • Walls, ceilings, doors, trim and feature colours
  • Hard-wearing, washable products picked for the traffic the space gets
  • Furniture and stock covered, floors masked
  • A tidy site at the end of every day

Shops and offices

Walls, ceilings, feature colours, doors and trim, in whatever brand colours you hand me. Offices and consulting rooms get a durable low sheen that takes a wipe without going patchy where the cleaner has been. And if your fit-out is running in stages, I’ll work in stages too and price them separately so your cashflow isn’t carrying the whole thing at once.

Rentals between tenants

An empty property is the easiest one to paint, so I’ll do the whole place in one run and get it back on the market quickly. Landlords and property managers get one price and one number to ring.

What I’m not the right fit for

Large multi-storey contracts, industrial coatings, roof work, and patching up a wall or two. If your job is one of those I’ll tell you straight away at the enquiry, rather than leave you hanging on a quote that was never coming.

How a commercial job runs

  1. I come and look

    We go through the surfaces and colours together, and you tell me your trading hours and when you need it usable.

  2. You get a fixed price

    A clear written quote within 24 hours, for the whole job or split into stages if you're fitting out in phases.

  3. We prepare properly

    Stock and furniture covered, floors masked, then filling and sanding so the finish holds up to the traffic.

  4. Paint, then walk round

    Two coats of a washable commercial product, then a walk round with you, touch-ups sorted on the spot.

Small commercial: common questions

Can you work around our trading hours?

Usually, yes. Tell me when the space has to be usable and I'll plan around it. Shops often suit an early start or a weekend run, and I'd rather fit in with you than have you shut the doors for a day you can't afford to lose.

How do you price a commercial job?

The same way I price a house. I come and look, then send a fixed written price. No hourly rate, so a slow day is my problem rather than a line on your invoice.

What paint do you use in a space that gets a lot of traffic?

Washable, scrub-resistant products from Dulux, Resene or Aalto, chosen for the wear the room actually gets. A corridor in a busy office and a quiet consulting room don't need the same thing, and whichever I've specified will be named on your quote.

Are you insured?

Yes, $1,000,000 of public liability cover, and I'm happy to have that confirmed in writing before I start if your landlord or building manager needs it.

"Torbin has painted the complete interior of our house and done an amazing job. His eye for detail and a perfect finish is amazing and nothing is too much trouble. 15m x 5m ceiling repaired from an uneven, botched job previously to a perfectly smooth finish without a single brush stroke evident. Highly recommend his work."
