On traditional soffits, you can usually see where the sheets meet, along with the nail fixings. But on some modern homes, the architect wants a completely smooth finish, with no visible joints.

There's quite a bit of work involved in getting that look!

On this project, the fibre cement soffit sheets were screw-fixed. Before the plasterer could tape and plaster the joints, we first had to seal the fibre cement.

The plasterer then came in to tape and finish the joints and cover the screw fixings. Once that was completed, we returned to seal the plastered areas before applying the final paint coats.
It takes several stages, and good communication between the plasterer and painter is essential to getting the finish right.

And this is the finished result: beautifully smooth soffits with no visible joints or fixings.

We recently worked on this stunning timber and glass door, and the homeowner had one very clear request: they wanted to keep the timber looking exactly as it was.

And we could understand why. The natural colour and grain were beautiful!

The only concern was leaving the timber completely untreated. Over time, bare timber can absorb oils from your hands, moisture, dirt and other everyday marks. Particularly around a kitchen, those stains can become difficult to remove.
So we discussed a few options with the client and settled on Resene Woodsman Natural Wood Oil.

We applied three coats, and the result was exactly what we were hoping for. The timber still looks completely natural. You can barely tell anything has been applied, but it now has some protection against everyday staining.

Sometimes the best finish is the one you hardly notice.

There’s something satisfying about watching that first coat of paint go onto freshly primed weatherboards!

A little timelapse from an exterior repaint we recently completed.

This project involved more than painting. We also organised the scaffolding and helped coordinate some additional building work along the way.

And here's what Elaine, the homeowner, had to say once everything was finished:

"Fabulous preparation and paint job. Met expectations. The whole process was a breeze, from arranging scaffolding and sorting out extra building work that was required. Professional, reliable and an outstanding team. Value for money, very happy😃"

Thank you, Elaine! We're glad you're happy with the result, and it was a pleasure working on your home.

When you're having interior painting done, our team may be working through your bedrooms, living areas and other personal spaces, sometimes while you're not even home.
We understand that takes trust.

Our painters are part of our team, receive ongoing in-house training and undergo background checks. We expect them to be professional and respectful of both you and your property while they're there.

Before the job starts, we'll also talk you through what we're doing, how we're doing it and why, so you can make an informed decision about the work being carried out.

And once we're inside, protecting the house is taken seriously. Floors, kitchen benches, furniture and surrounding surfaces are covered and protected before the painting begins.

You’re trusting us with your home while we’re there. We take that responsibility seriously.

Having your house painted shouldn’t mean wondering when the painters are turning up, how many people are coming, whether the colours have been confirmed, or how long the job is actually going to take.

We put a lot of work into the process behind the painting. From a clear, detailed quote at the beginning, through to scheduling, colour confirmation and keeping you updated while we’re on site.

You should know what’s happening with your house and what happens next.

That’s a big part of the experience we’re trying to create at HPS. Great painting matters, obviously. But so does everything that happens around it.

Six projects. Six Gold Awards. 🏅

We’re very proud to share the results of the 2026 Master Painters New Zealand Awards of Excellence, with Hauraki Property Services receiving six Gold Awards across a range of residential and commercial projects.

What makes these awards particularly meaningful to us is the judging process. Earlier in the year, we submitted the projects for consideration, and during judging, the Master Painters judges travelled to each property in person to inspect the workmanship and finished surfaces.

That also meant returning to projects we had completed months earlier and seeing how the finishes were performing in real life.

A big thank you to our clients who welcomed us and the judges back into their homes and properties. We really appreciate you helping us organise access and, most importantly, trusting HPS with your projects in the first place.

And of course, a huge thank you to our team. These six Gold Awards represent a lot of preparation, attention to detail and care behind the scenes.

Once the kitchen is installed, you may never see these walls again, especially when cabinetry runs right up to the bulkhead. So, is it worth finishing them properly?

At the very minimum, we recommend plastering the GIB before the cabinetry goes in. This helps seal gaps and reduce potential draughts.

We would also recommend applying a coat of sealer. Fresh plaster can leave a dusty, porous surface, and sealing it creates a more stable finish while adding another level of protection from moisture, particularly important in a kitchen where food is prepared.

Our preference is to take it one step further and fully paint behind the cabinetry before installation. It leaves the entire room properly finished and avoids inaccessible, unfinished areas being hidden behind a brand-new kitchen.

We covered that final step in our previous video. This time, Morgan explains why even the parts you'll never see are worth preparing properly.

Do you need to paint a wall if the kitchen cabinets are going to cover it anyway?

Before a new kitchen is installed, the plasterboard still needs to be properly plastered and, at the very minimum, sealed.

Where possible, though, we recommend completing the full paint system before the cabinetry goes in.

It means the entire wall is properly finished, including areas that will become difficult or impossible to access once the kitchen is installed. It also reduces the chance of small sections being missed around cabinetry, panels and appliances, and leaves everything neat and finished behind the kitchen.

It’s a relatively small amount of additional work at this stage of the project and makes for a much cleaner installation overall.

Times are tough, so we’re always looking for ways to keep costs under control. 😂

Fortunately, when you have a painter tall enough to reach the ceiling from the floor, apparently step ladders become an unnecessary expense.

As Morgan says, “Saves me money on the step ladder.”

Sometimes having the right person for the job has unexpected benefits. 😄

Another round of cyclical maintenance completed at Mt Carmel School during the recent school holidays.

This time, our team worked through several classrooms, repainting areas around doors and window liners, along with sections of ceilings and beams.

None of these areas required a major refurbishment. Regular maintenance allows smaller areas to be addressed as they need attention, helping keep the property looking cared for and avoiding a much larger list of work building up over time.

For schools and other commercial properties, quieter periods such as school holidays are also a great opportunity to plan this work with minimal disruption.

We enjoy working with clients on an ongoing basis and getting to know their buildings over time. It makes it much easier to identify what needs attention now, what can wait, and plan future maintenance accordingly.
