Frequently Asked Questions
How much does painting cost?
Every job is different, so we don't publish a flat price list — the cost depends on the size of the space, the condition of the surfaces, and the finish you're after. The best way to get an accurate number is a no-obligation quote: we'll come and have a look, then give you a written price before any work starts.

What does "Registered Master Painter" actually mean?
It means KC Painting Services has been independently vetted by Master Painters New Zealand against a set of trading history, workmanship and conduct standards — it's not just a name we use.

What's covered by the workmanship guarantee?
As a Registered Master Painter business, our work is backed by the Master Painters NZ 5-Year Workmanship Guarantee, which covers defects in workmanship on the painting we carry out.

How long will my job take?
Timeframes vary depending on the size and scope of the job — a single room repaint is a different job to a full exterior repaint. The most reliable way to get a timeline for your project is a quote: we'll assess the job and give you a clear schedule before work starts. Request a Quote →
What areas do you service?
We work across the Kāpiti Coast, Wellington and Manawatū.
How is a Master Painter different from any other painter?
Anyone can call themselves a painter — Registered Master Painters have to meet independently verified standards around experience, workmanship and conduct, and back their work with a guarantee that isn't tied to whether the business is still trading.

Do I need to move my own furniture?
We ask you to clear small items and valuables from the work area before we start. For larger furniture, our team will move and reposition it within the room as needed to get the job done.
What's the best time of year to get exterior painting done?
In the Kāpiti and Wellington climate, spring and autumn are generally the best windows for exterior painting — mild, drier conditions without the extreme heat of summer or the damp of winter. We'll factor weather and timing into your schedule when we quote the job.
Do you take on body corporate or multi-unit jobs?
Yes — we regularly work with body corporates and multi-unit properties, coordinating around business hours and tenancy needs, with the scheduling and documentation committees typically require.

Are you insured, and what does SiteWise accreditation mean?
