• Why hire a professional painter? If you want to hire a professional painter to do the job for you, we recommend you hire a member of the Master Painters Association. Check out their website for a Master Painter near you or try our Find-A-Painter service.
• Why hire a professional architect, designer or colour consultant? If you are planning major alterations or perhaps even a completely new home, hiring an architect or an architectural designer may be a worthwhile investment. For more information on architects visit the New Zealand Institute of Architects website, or for more information on architectural designers visit the Architectural Designers of New Zealand website.
