Over 15 Years of Local Experience

We've painted homes and commercial properties throughout Christchurch, giving us extensive experience working with local building styles and Canterbury's unique weather conditions.

Attention to Detail

“There’s no point taking shortcuts when it comes to painting,” Dan explains. “Shortcuts lead to a finish that doesn’t last as long and soon looks awful. We are careful to follow industry best practice and use the right paint systems with the appropriate preparation and undercoats.” This attention to detail results in DJ Parkyn Painting and Decorating enjoying an enviable level of repeat business and personal referrals.

In the Blood

“My dad was a decorator, so I grew up around paint and wallpaper. He was old school – if the finish wasn’t right, it wasn’t good enough. I guess I’ve just followed in his footsteps,” Dan laughs. “After all, it’s my name on the finished product, so it had better be good! Our customers deserve that, and I’m fortunate to have a team who feels the same way.”

F.A.Q's

Carefully. Seriously, the paint colour you choose has a lot to do with the mood or feeling you’re wanting to create in a room. But also consider the room’s lighting and size. A room with poor natural lighting will seem bigger and brighter with a light paint colour. A small room can feel dramatic and a large room will feel cosier when painted with darker colours.

We’ll need to know the surface to be painted before we can answer that question, sorry. For instance, spray painting the exterior of a home is impacted by the cladding system, the age of the property, whether access is suitable and what kind of finish is required. So, give us call!

The easy answer is yes. As professional decorators, we are experienced in all aspects of wallpapering so, before you decide on a full renovation, ask us to inspect the damaged area. Depending on its severity, a repair might be all you need to get your wallpaper looking great again.

We certainly do! Bare concrete can collect dust and dirt, which you then track into your house. A painted surface is not only much easier to keep swept and clean, but it looks great too.

What do you want from your decking? Is the goal to improve how the deck looks, or to make the wood last longer? Or both? In general, a stain helps the deck look better and an oil helps preserve the condition of the wood. But there are exceptions and combinations. And then there are UV inhibitors. Best we have a chat about your deck to help you pick just the right product.

We provide a full range of residential and commercial painting services, including: Interior painting Exterior painting House repainting Roof painting Deck and fence staining Wallpaper hanging and removal Spray painting Colour consultations Surface preparation and minor repairs Whether you're refreshing a single room or repainting an entire property, we're here to help.
