“Anyone can paint, but not everyone can decorate.” This is the slogan of Paul Schirnack Decorating Ltd and it’s a mantra that’s holding the company in good stead.
“The homeowner was very particular and knew what she wanted and the team at Paul Schirnack Decorating delivered exactly to this very high expectation. She told the judges that she was very, very fussy and was very, very happy with the outcome.
“The attention to detail and the degree of difficulty across a range of different mediums was executed brilliantly,” the judges said. “An example of the quality of workmanship was the application of the anaglypta wall covering, with its tiny, patterned fleur de lys.
“The difficult wall covering was applied in perfect alignment across a range of different and complicated angles between the ceilings and walls around the staircase. The cutting in, the preparation, restoration and refurbishment of the woodwork was exemplary,” they said.
“Paul has been a consistent supporter of the awards since they began and while he has won a number of categories over the years he has never walked away with the ultimate prize.
“In the face of a very, very high level of competition, he has deservedly taken out the country’s top award.”
Adding to the judges’ final decision to award the Master Painter of the Year to Paul Schirnack Decorating was the fact the team won multiple categories that displayed a depth of quality across a range of entries in its portfolio.
A Mount Eden property won the Contemporary Rework Interior category, which the judges described as a very solid paint job with a lot of timber flooring requiring tricky masking between the skirtings and the steps with absolutely no sign of any tape bleed. It was a mix of modern and old substrate finished immaculately.
Westmere-based operator Paul Schirnack Decorating also won the Contemporary Rework Exterior with a Takapuna cliff-top property that overlooks the Hauraki Gulf. The plaster exterior was set off with beautiful timber windows and doors and a natural timber -treated tongue and groove soffit.
Showing the breadth of talent, the 2015 Master Painter of the Year also took the Residential Wall-covering category with a big floral patterned paper, an angled ceiling and high stud that took considerable skill to ‘keep the pattern going’ for a house in Whenuapai that resulted in a beautiful, bold pattern that was matched and hung superbly.
“Our quality workmanship and our management systems put us ahead of our competitors.” This local team prides themselves on quality workmanship and service. The business is a Master Painters New Zealand Quality Management System Certified Contractor and is only one of eight nationwide to have achieved this qualification. The proof is winning these awards.
