Real reviews from Canterbury homeowners and builders.

"I've been using Intext Plaster & Paint on my Rangiora builds for the last four years. They're reliable, they price honestly, and they don't disappear halfway through a project like a couple of the cheaper crews I tried before them. If you're a builder looking for a painting crew that won't blow up your programme, these are the guys."

"Hired Intext Plaster & Paint to repaint the main rooms and hang feature wallpaper in our 1910 villa. The job took a week longer than originally quoted because they hit a load of old flaking paint and cracked plaster that needed proper prep first, but they were upfront about the delay and explained why. Finish is spot on and the heritage colours match the period really well. Communication during the extra week could have been a bit better but the result is what we wanted."

"Wanted a deep charcoal feature wall in the lounge with the rest of the room freshened up to match. They brought out a few Dulux test pots first which I appreciated. Once we signed off the colour they got it all done in three days, the edges where the feature wall meets the ceiling are razor sharp and they left the place tidy."

"Got the team in to repaint the whole exterior of our weatherboard place between us and the neighbours' paddock. Good job overall, the prep was solid and the Resene colour we picked has held up well after a full summer. One section of the south wall near the gate has a slightly patchier sheen that I noticed afterwards but it's not glaring. Fair price and the crew were professional."

"Our kitchen and hallway had been the same tired cream since we moved in, so we finally got it sorted. Prep was thorough, they filled and sanded a heap of little dings I hadn't even noticed, and the cutting in around the cornices is dead straight. Whole job was done in under a week and they were polite to my kids who kept wandering out to watch, which was a bonus."
