A big job and well done!
Blair's team are technically competent, professional and very good dealing with any client anxieties. They found quick solutions to some unexpected issues relating to the age of our house. They respected our privacy at all times! We will be using them again!
Peter and Carol, Nelson

Parnwell Painters have just finished our weather board home. I can not rate them highly enough. My husband am I are so impressed with the quality of the preparation,, assistance with colour selection, the painting finish, integrity of the tradespeople, person-ability of the trades people and over all consideration to my needs whilst working on our property. Complete value for money as this job was beyond us at this time in our lives. Further to this the owner operator Blair Parnwell was a supportive manager and had prompt and comprehensive communication with us at all times.
Sheree and Terry, Richmond

We have been extremely happy with the service and the outcome of the job from Parnwell Painting. Blair has been coordinating the work with his great team and the results are fantastic. He did exactly as promised. Everything that we asked for was covered. In fact they did a lot more than requested. Blair’s quote was extremely detailed which is what I requested. Rowen was in charge on site every day and the team could not have been more helpful.
It was a pleasure dealing with really nice people and at a good price too. We got several quotes and Parnwell's offered the most comprehensive package for quite a complicated job at the best price.
Helen, Nelson

We wouldn’t hesitate to use their services again. We are more than happy to provide a positive review for Blair and his team at Parnwell Painting. We are repeat customers, having used Blair’s services a few years ago, and being very happy with that job. We have just recently used them again to carry out a full interior repaint of our family home, while living in it! Kim, in charge of the crew on our job, was excellent at keeping us fully posted and briefed each day, so we knew exactly what was going to happen - really important on a two week job! Daryl, Rose and crew did a superb job with every detail, and the work carried out was to a very high standard, completed on time, and no hiccups. Thanks Team!
Matt & Susan, Stoke

We very highly recommend Parnwell Painting. Blair and his team are very focussed on doing the best job they can and have a great manner and attitude. We have used them three times now, once for wallpapering and twice for painting. The results have been perfect each time. We would not want to use anyone else now.
Catherine and Peter, Nelson

The work was done promptly and very professionally. Good communication and a prompt response to my enquiry and a prompt quote. Excellent as I needed the job done at fairly short notice.
James, Stoke

A highly professional business to deal with throughout - from the initial estimate visit from Tim (Project Manager), booking the work dates we wanted to suit our family schedules, the preparation and re-painting of multiple rooms to an excellent standard. Nothing was too much trouble for Blair and his friendly and professional staff. Our home has it's own challenges, particularly the very high ceilings, lots of cedar wood features including doors, bifolds, windows - all re-stained with apparent ease. The lead painter, Darryl, kept us fully informed throughout, adhered to the time schedules and is a true perfectionist - the team's work is outstanding. We are delighted with the results! We will certainly use Parnwell Painting again and have no hesitation to thoroughly recommend to others considering painting /wallpapering services.
Ruth, Mahana

Blair and his team were a huge part of the recent Mitre 10 MEGA Nelson Charity House Build, for the Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter Trust. The house had 3 different exterior claddings, and a really cool, quirky interior, which needed careful attention to detail to maximise its appearance. The team from Parnwells were outstanding - such great quality work, and such friendly, reliable, professional guys. The sale price for the home was a record for the 3 houses we have done, and a large part of this was the result of the outstanding decorating by Parnwell Painting.
Murray Leaning. Mitre 10 MEGA Nelson

The Parnwell Painting team were easy to have on site and left everything clean and tidy at the end of the day. We were impressed with the attention to detail and the advice re colour choices was appreciated. Communication with Blair was good and he visited the site to check on progress. We will definitely have them back for future work - they did a quality job for us.
Sue, Brightwater

We were absolutely blown away with the whole experience!  Tim was lovely to deal with re the quote ....... Blair came to check on the progress ......... and Topia was a brilliant painter.  Kind and considerate especially as he had "help" from our 4 dogs! ( Only one ended up with paint on his whiskers and nose!! )  The quality of his work was outstanding and he left our house cleaner than it was to begin with!  He was always on time and stayed a little later than he was required to do.  A very pleasurable experience and we are delighted with the results.
Norma, Hope

Blair and his team's attention to detail was exceptional. Their communication, and recommendations were greatly appreciated and helped achieve the finishing result we were all extremely happy with. I would employ their services in the future without a second thought. Thank you Parnwell Team!
Greg, Richmond

A1 from start to finish.
Both the management and painting team impressed me daily with their professionalism from start to finish. I enjoyed their meticulous attention to detail, regular checking in, friendly approach alongside their non-intrusive way of working. I totally recommend. Every day that I look at my much loved cottage and smile. I see a grand little old lady, restored to her glory.
Fran

Parnwell Painting has just completed some inside and outside work on our 1930s weatherboard house.
Blair anticipated all the quirky demands of the age and style of the work and the result was a really high quality job by a very professional team.  Blair was quick to follow up with any questions we had and the team always went out of their way to be considerate and helpful .
Janette & Aat

Outstanding job once again. Previously used for exterior painting which was amazing so they were our first thought when we decided to repaint our bathroom and remove/repaint out textured ceilings. Very fast response when a quote was requested and job was scheduled quickly. They provided excellent advice on colour choices and any potential issues with our ceiling and the quotes were very clear. Upon job starting they were on time, friendly and work (as always) done to a very high standard. So appreciated the attention to detail! We will definitely be using again.
Gemma and Jeremy

Blair arrived with his quote and with detailed information on how the work would progress in the painting of my roof. The team were courteous and pleasant to have around and did a great job.
I'm really delighted in the transformation of my previously unpainted roof to something really smart but I do have to walk away from the house to the neighbours to get a proper view of it.
I look forward to completion of the work with newly painted fascias and new guttering. I know where to go again if I need a great painting job done.
'Who you gonna call?' PARNWELL PAINTING!
Thanks Blair and the team. Adele, Nelson

Katie and I were delighted with the prompt quotation and follow through on the latest work Blair and his crew did for us at our home. His staff were always polite, punctual ,tidy, and quality professionals like Blair himself.
We own a number of investment properties and always use Blair and recommend him to family and friends as he is great to deal with and gets the job done to the highest standard.`` John, Nelson

We were so impressed by our experience with this company, Parnwell Painting. Everything went like clockwork from the quote process right through to the end result, a beautifully painted interior of our home. The entire crew were, without exception, considerate, cheerful, highly-skilled and meticulous. Would highly recommend. Ellen, Richmond

Blair has done everything he said he would right from the start, including giving a detailed, prompt quote, that included start dates and time frames.
The property we had the exterior painted on is currently rented out, so I needed a company I could trust to not only do a top paint job, but also be mindful of the tenants.
Blair's team were professional, tidy and respectful. The end result for us is a place that is looking better than we would've thought, and all at a reasonable cost.
We are so impressed with both the quality of the workmanship, and the professionalism of Blair Parnwell, and all his team, that we would recommend him to anyone.
Outstanding!
Hayden & Victoria

I write to complement you on your refreshing approach to business and providing a first class job with excellent tradesmen. From the beginning your attitude and assurance is very comforting and indeed all said or written was adhered to. The main painter on the job has been Daryl and I could not speak more highly of him and his workmanship. Takes pride in his work, has impeccable manners, ensures everything is left clean and shipshape at the end of each day. I feel he was instrumental in seeing others (equally professional) do their job and understand the daily routine. What a pleasure. The entrance is now complete and not an easy job. Extremely high and awkward ceilings, curves and corners made the paint work a challenge. It is magnificent and has lightened the whole house. I am thrilled with the finished work. It is so refreshing to have a company that does as they say and produce a good job, competitively priced and on time.
Thank you so much. May

Parnwell Painting Limited has been providing a decorating service to me for a number of years. During that time they have worked on a number of my properties and I have been extremely satisfied with the service they provide. Without exception their professional tradesmen have delivered a quality service and product. Blair generally provides me with an estimate of the work to be undertaken but on occasions I’m happy for him to carry out the work requested and to charge me accordingly. His staff are always friendly and considerate, sometimes having to work around a situation where the properties are occupied with little or no disruption to the occupants. I am delighted to recommend Parnwell Painting Limited to all of my friends and associates.
John

Lesley and I were very impressed with the work ethic and professional management of Parnwell Painting. The first thing,was that there was a fully documented job description of the work to be done, which was accompanied by your personal visit and on the job briefing with your painters before they started work. Everyone was clear on the task in hand. The next two things that we both noticed, was the extremely productive work ethic of all your staff on our job, together with their politeness and the respect with which they treated our home. They were a pleasure to deal with. As the job progressed the skill and professional standard of the painters became very evident. In the hallway, additional attention was given to the job before Daryl was satisfied with the quality of the finish. The same thing in the toilet. Additional work was undertaken to achieve the required standard. The end result of the standard and quality of the job was very satisfying to us. We noticed your frequent visits during the job to oversee your staff and observed the easy manner in which you related to them to give us a strong and unified team effort. Your follow up at the end of the job was most appreciated, and we felt that through good ongoing communication and a high standard of workmanship gave us the result we wanted. We would be most happy to recommend Parnwell Painting to anyone requiring the services of a professional and well managed company.
Jim & Lesley

Most impressed with Blair and his team, nothing was to much problem and we were always consulted about different stages of the job. The team always tidied up every night before departing, we are totally rapt with the finished exterior of our house.
Also I would like congratulate the team on their lovely outlook to life, the thing that most impressed was the fact of no bad language at all while we were around.
Would highly recommend these painters to anyone wanting a professional job done.
Barry and Lynn

Recently used Parnwell Painting to paint inside and outside of house. They are fantastic to deal with, we cannot rate them highly enough! They are all incredibly professional, friendly and respectful of your home and pets! Had no concerns at all of having them in our home while we were at work. Definitely recommend them and would use them again. Their quote was also very competitive. We never knew our home could look so good!
Beth

Parnwell Painting impressed us right from the start. From the initial visit by Blair to prepare an estimate right through to the final inspection on completion, everything was extremely professional. The work was completed to the highest standard by what is a happy dedicated team, well within the deadline we had given. We also extended the work (prior to starting) and this was not an issue. We have no hesitation in recommending Parnwell Painting and will be using them for our next decorating project.
Sandy

We have just had our house exterior painted by Parnwell Painting Ltd. Blair Parnwell was recommended by friends and his approach was so friendly and professional we decided to give him the job straight away. This was a big step for us as we have had horrendous experiences with “tradesmen” over the last few years. The team at Parnwell Painting were great to deal with, they worked hard, were friendly and, most important, treated our home with care and respect. We are exceptionally pleased with the whole process and recommend them with no reservations.
Lou and Tracey, Stoke

We moved to Nelson four years ago and purchased a lovely multi-level house. During 2015 we noticed that the house stain had faded and within a few months the exterior of the house was looking extremely shabby. We had three quotes from different companies, along with conflicting advice as how to best restore the house exterior. We selected Parnwell Painting as we were impressed by Blair and his approach to our dilemma. He gave us sensible advice and offered a workable solution. Blair and his team of painters were extremely good to deal with. We were kept up to date with progress and informed as each step of the process was commenced. The house was covered in scaffolding; water blasted, undercoated and had two top coats of paint: this was all done with a minimum of disruption to us and in a thoroughly professional manner. We have been delighted with the result and how quickly and efficiently it was achieved. If we require any interior painting we will be contacting Blair and we would be happily recommend Parnwell Painting to anyone considering any painting work.
Marie and Rae, Nelson

Over the last two years, Parnwell Painting has painted the exterior of my house to a high standard, including preparation to finishing. The team has wall papered the interior of my place as well as painting of windows and door surrounds, ceilings etc. All the work has been more than satisfactory and I’m very happy with the results. The workers are pleasant and polite. Blair grasps quickly what is being asked for and gives good, clear information and technical advice. He demonstrates flexibility and is accommodating and respectful. What I especially appreciate is Blair’s responsiveness to phone calls and emails. The businesses use of technology to supply quotes and other associated documentarian is useful and timely. The firm presents professionally with their well-constructed marketing, signage, logos and letterhead etc. I would use Blair and his team again and have recommended them to others.
Helen, Nelson

We can't recommend Blair and his team highly enough. Blair came round pretty much straight away when asked for a quote and supplied the quote the same day. His team were extremely professional and dealt with painting our external windows cheerfully and competently. Everything was tidied away at the end of each day and the end result is brilliant! We will certainly use them again for any future painting jobs that we have. Thanks very much Blair and team - our window frames look terrific!
Sarah, Richmond
