Who Are Master Painters

Trade painters join Master Painters because they want a point of difference. There have been many cases where cowboy painters and fly-by-nighters have left a sour taste following a string of sloppy jobs, poor workmanship and unhappy customers.  That’s why architects, specifiers and home owners are increasingly asking for fully qualified members of the Master Painters Association to quote for their work. The Government, local authorities, ACC, IRD, property developers and the paint companies are united in wanting to raise the overall standards of professionalism and workmanship.
