Retirement Living

& Aged Care

We paint where people live. That changes how we work.

For close to ten years, KC Painting Services has delivered painting and refurbishment programmes for some of New Zealand's largest retirement village operators, work that has covered every kind of space a working village contains: care rooms and ensuites, rest-home and hospital areas, dementia and special-care units, independent and serviced apartments, townhouses and common areas, along with full exterior repaint programmes.


400+ repaint and refurbishment jobs completed for some of New Zealand's largest retirement village providers.

Retirement-village and aged-care work is our specialist field, not a sideline.

Almost all of it happens in occupied buildings, alongside residents and staff, which shapes everything about how we operate: low-VOC and low-odour systems, dust-controlled equipment, careful scheduling around residents' routines, and a documented safety plan on every job.

Our Retirement Village Programmes

  • Condition Assessment: An annual walk-through and photographic condition report across a village or property, flagging what needs attention and roughly when — a simple document for your board or owners, with no obligation to proceed.

  • Scheduled Maintenance Programme: Ongoing, cyclical touch-up and minor repaint work between full repaints — railings, common areas, high-wear touch-ups — delivered on a booked schedule rather than as ad hoc call-outs.

  • Full Repaint Cycle Programme: A planned, multi-year, unit-by-unit exterior or interior repaint programme across a whole village, run to a documented schedule so you can budget for it years in advance rather than re-tendering every time.

  • Priority Turnaround: Fast-response repainting for vacant units between residents — because an empty unit costs revenue every day it isn't ready to reoccupy.

Case study — 36-villa exterior repaint programme

A planned programme repainting the exteriors, including garages, of 36 joined villas at a Kāpiti-region retirement village — delivered over approximately four months, two villas at a time. Each exterior was washed down, prepared, and finished with two topcoats of the appropriate coating system, managed with certified scaffolding and edge protection where needed, and run to a documented Site-Specific Safety Plan throughout.

"Everyone we speak to here is very impressed with the work and your staff."

Case study — Special-care unit refurbishment

A full refurbishment of the communal areas of a dementia and special-care unit corridor, nurses' reception, servery and communal spaces all completed with residents remaining on site throughout. Work was coordinated closely with care staff, applying the unit's special-care protocols and keeping dust, odour and disruption to a minimum.

The team worked so considerately around residents and staff that the village held a morning tea to thank them.

What does this means for a new client

  • No learning curve — we already know how occupied villages and care environments operate.

  • A single point of contact accountable for the whole relationship, not a rotating cast of contacts.

  • Every job logged and photographed through our job-management system, giving a clear, auditable record.

  • A finish held to one standard: good enough for a family member to move straight into.

A hospital room with a bed that has a floral cover, placed against a beige wall. There is a wall-mounted lamp above the bed, and multiple electrical outlets on the wall near the bed.
