Ryan Painting

I found Ryan Painting through Yellow Pages, and can’t praise them highly enough. Gary & his crew were very friendly & agreeable, and the work was done quickly, efficiently & to the highest standard. Out of 10 stars, I give 20. I initially hired Ryan Painting for outdoor work. Having chosen the cheapest quote with a previous painter and been extremely disappointed in the shoddy work, I was very nervous about hiring again. Of the 3 quotes I got, Ryan Painting was the middle one. I went with Gary, and so glad I did. Job was to paint carport, eves on 4 sides of house & eve boards 2 sides, metal colour-bond gate [in very poor condition] both sides, metal roofing facia front & rear, front door, doorstep & door frame. I’d also been told by both a Real Estate agent and a plumber that I needed to replace the rusty guttering on one side of the house. Ryan Painting was able to paint it instead for half the cost of replacement, and it came up looking like new.

I was so impressed with the work the guys were doing outside, I asked Gary to also quote on finishing up painting works inside. There was a lot of masking tape around windows, power points etc that’d been left on too long so that it was very difficult & time consuming to remove, over-spray on tiles in a few areas, half painted window frames I hadn’t finished off, some paint runs on walls that needed to be sanded & painted again [1 coat], a few small areas of damage to doors/frames that needed filling before painting, and I wanted the skirting boards top-coated in 3 bedrooms + lounge-room.

Both Indoor & Outdoor quotes were for 2 coats of paint, but Gary went ahead and did 3 coats in several areas so it’d come up better, painted a couple of doors where he noticed I’d only painted one side not both, did a lot more filling than I initially asked for, and so on. I kept noticing more little things and asking if he could do this & that as well, and Gary would reply “no problem” without adding on more cost. He also put a 4th coat on the gate at no charge because he’d done it in Flat & I thought it’d look better in Gloss [which it did, but which I should have specified at the start]. I provided the Gloss paint for that. With all the extra little things Gary’d been very agreeable about doing without asking for more money, I ended up paying him a bit more off my own bat – it was well deserved.
