EXCELLENT Based on 14 reviews Jared Milne2025-04-09 It was refreshing to find such a professional team in RCS Painting Solutions. I've had some fairly average experiences with tradies in the past, so my expectations weren't great. However throughout the whole process, from initial site meeting and consultation through to project completion report, Paul and his team set the benchmark very high. Always punctual when weather would allow, tidy and courteous, not to mention a very nice job on our exterior joinery. These guys would be my automatic recommendation when it comes to painting requirements. Ashley Carradus2025-03-26 From quoting to completing our exterior paint job, Paul and his team were friendly, prompt, and professional. The final results are exceptional, with extra attention to detail taken to ensure the job is completed to a high standard. The worksite is left spotless at the end of the day. RCS listens to the customer and nothing is a problem for them! Thanks so much, Paul. We are very happy with the end result and definitely recommend this company for any painting projects. John Hammond2025-02-14 Paul and Jamie did an excellent job of painting the outside of my House and Fence. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they did an excellent job. I would highly recommend the RCS Painting Solutions Team !!!! Graham Cowling2024-09-29 You can see the results of a shed project on the RCS Painting Solutions website (check under projects) We fully recommend Paul and his team, we got to meet Jamie on this project. They are friendly, great communication, hardworking and managed this job in the timeframe estimated. Full handover inspection with us on completion, and a written report with Master Painters guarantee. Their quote was also price effective in comparison with others. Just wish we could give you more than 5 stars guys. We are very grateful and impressed. Priyanka sharma2024-04-28 We recently had our home painted by these wonderful people. They are very professional and skilled in their jobs. They invoiced us only after we signed off and were satisfied with their work. My husband and I highly recommend them to you; get all your paintings needs get sorted. You won't regret it! Michelle Bowater2024-03-15 RCS did an amazing job of patching and painting for us. They fitted us in a very short notice which is really appreciate! I highly recommend Paul and his team. John McCullough2024-03-12 We googled up Taranaki painters after two ‘big name painters, were too busy to get back to us. We phoned RCS Master Painters. Within a few hours we met with Paul on site. The job was the total internal painting of a two story home, all wall papered walls with peeling corners & joins, ceilings, doorways, skirting boards, windows etc. Appropriate and considered questioned were asked e.g. would you like inside wardrobes, inside pantry, cupboards painted etc. Within 24 hours we had a detailed quote, room by room. We were given a time frame of 3 days before he could start the job and 6 weeks to complete. Within that quote was a recommendation that one room be done first, to ensure the painted wallpaper finish was ‘as expected’, before continuing. Peeling paper had been glued, joins sealed with a very good finish. The whole job was finished, perfectly, in 1 day short of 5 weeks. Brilliant job. The walk through on completion, for inspection and final approval, gave no reason to not give sign off. A fantastic job. Can’t say enough good things about this painter!! Cheers John NorthWest Kiwi2024-01-26 Excellent customer service, timeliness and quality of work, and a thoughtful team who work around a customer's requirements. They did a full sand-down and repaint on my house exterior which has changed it from shabby to beautiful. I'd recommend RCS in a heartbeat - and I'd be happy to bring them on board for future painting jobs too. Jill Kenyon2023-12-30 Paul and team were great to work with. Did everything they said. Great communication. Not once was i let down. At the end of the job, he walked tgrough the house with me and marked any spots needing touch up. I had a big job for them whole interior ceiling to skirting board including doors and frames and cupboards. Great work, very happy. Price was comparable with other quote. Thanks team. Highly recommend
