🏆 What a way to make our first time entering!

We’re absolutely stoked to have received a Gold Award in the Residential Wallcoverings category at the Master Painters New Zealand Awards of Excellence.

Being our first time entering the awards, it was a pretty special experience and a real privilege to have our workmanship recognised alongside so many talented painters and decorators from around New Zealand.

A massive thank you to everyone involved in putting on such a fantastic event, and especially to Master Painters New Zealand, Resene, Dulux and all the other suppliers and supporters who continue to support our industry.

We’d also like to say a huge thank you to our client for allowing us to carry out the work and for giving us the opportunity to showcase such an amazing wallpaper. It was a pleasure to work with, and we’re very proud of the finished result

And of course, a huge thank you to our team at Trudgeon’s Painting & Decorating this award is a reflection of the pride, effort and quality you guys put into your work every day.

We’re very proud to represent Ashburton and Mid Canterbury, and we’ll definitely be back again next year!

Thanks again to everyone involved what a wonderful event! 🥂🏆

Really proud to be involved with Ashburton College and to have the opportunity to help these young people learn some valuable trade skills along the way. 👏

It’s awesome to see the students getting hands-on experience and building their own tiny homes, while learning skills they can take with them into the future.

We’re proud to be able to play a small part in helping inspire the next generation of tradies!

What an incredible bathroom transformation! 👏

From tired and outdated to fresh, modern, and functional, this renovation is a fantastic example of what quality workmanship and attention to detail can achieve.

Credit to all the trades involved in bringing this project together—an amazing outcome! 🔨✨

Another transformation complete! 👌

We managed to squeeze this exterior repaint in before the cold weather really started to kick in, and we’re glad we did.

With the newly installed aluminium double-glazed windows and a fresh exterior repaint, this older home has been completely modernised while still keeping its character. It’s amazing what the right colour scheme and a quality paint job can do!

Check out these before and after photos of this roof restoration completed down in Wanaka. Years of weathering had taken their toll, but with the right preparation and coating system, we brought it back to life and gave it a fresh new look😍

If your roof is looking tired, faded, or showing signs of wear, get in touch now and we can provide a quote ready for when the warmer weather returns.

Another one wrapped up today 👌

Installed a wallpaper feature wall in the entranceway of this new build by Mckain Construction and it’s a perfect example of how much impact a single wall can have.

Whether you’re going for a bold statement or just adding a bit of texture and depth, a feature wall like this can completely transform the feel of a space and set the tone as soon as you walk through the door😍
