At Harris Decorating, setting the standard and passing on knowledge to the next generation is one of our highest priorities.

We don’t simply hand out opportunities to anyone who walks through the door. We carefully build a team that shares our commitment to excellence, professionalism, and continuous improvement. Together, we strive to operate above the current industry standard and help raise the bar for the future of the painting and decorating industry across New Zealand.

One of our core missions is to positively influence the industry nationwide, and we believe that starts with the next generation. The way apprentices are trained, mentored, and developed today will shape the quality and reputation of our trade tomorrow.

As a qualified painter and decorator, I believe giving back to the industry is a responsibility, not an option. Providing apprenticeship opportunities and investing in the growth of young tradespeople is a crucial step toward achieving our vision of a stronger, more professional industry for years to come.

Sanding, sanding, filling and the sanding !

Get your self a man or woman who can sand 😎

Sanding walls and trim might not be the flashiest part of painting, but it’s one of the most important. Taking the time to properly prep the surface smooths out imperfections, improves adhesion, and sets the foundation for a flawless finish. In this trade, a top-quality result always starts with solid prep—skip this step, and it shows in the final coat every time. Only using the best to sand trim with.

Spraying vs rolling exterior paint — what’s your preference?

For us, it depends on the job. While spraying can be efficient, it’s not always practical here in the mighty windy Manawatū. Wind conditions often make overspray a real issue, so many of our projects are better suited to a traditional cut and roll application.

This new build was completed using the cut and roll method with the Cool Colour system. The process included a white primer/undercoat followed by two coats of Resene Lumbersider Cool Colour for maximum durability and heat-reflective performance.

Project details:
• 306m² house exterior
• 143m² of soffits

A solid system and careful application ensure a long-lasting finish that performs well in New Zealand conditions.

This project for is a bit different to the standard white/ neutral we are use to painting. Great colour choices with everything incorporating together nicely on site. Finished project photos coming soon !

Fill, sand, gap. The grunt work

Arguably the most vital part of job. If Painters don’t get the surface right then the finish doesn’t look 100%. With this particular job we have 3 colours on this exterior and with 2 being dark we need this looking bang on, even before we put some primer on the walls. This is our most recent job we are currently completing for
