The Mardo Difference

We're Obsessed With Getting The Details Right

Why Paint Peels And How We Prevent It

Peeling and bubbling are almost always trapped moisture or poor prep. We properly prepare every surface and apply high-adhesion primers so your new finish lasts.

Common Problems, Solved

A streaky finish is often paint with low solids content. We use premium paints with a high concentration of solids for a rich, uniform colour in just two coats.

A Single, Trusted Expert

The owner manages every project and our small, trusted team does the work — no random subcontractors, ever. We love working with homeowners who value true craftsmanship.

The Mardo Method

A Perfect Finish Isn't Luck. It's A Process.

See the care and detail we put into every project to create a stunning result you'll love. It's how we get it right, every time.

Your Questions Answered

Straight Answers To Your Toughest Questions

01 How does your process work?

It's simple and managed to be stress-free. First, we have a free on-site chat to assess your home. Within 48 hours, you'll get a detailed, fixed-price quote. Once you approve, our team handles everything including protecting furniture, all prep work, priming, and painting. We finish with a clean-up and a final walkthrough with you.

02 How long does a project take?

Most interior projects take about 5 to 7 days. Full exterior jobs can take longer. We give you a reliable schedule in your proposal and we stick to it.

03 How much does it cost?

The cost depends on the size of the area and the prep work needed. You're paying for a lasting result, our 10-year warranty, and a stress-free experience. Our fixed-price quote means you know the exact cost upfront.

04 Can't I just do it myself?

You can, but you're hiring us to get a guaranteed result and to buy back your weekends. A great paint job is 70% prep work. We handle the mess, stress, and hard work so you don't have to.

05 Who will be in my house?

Our experienced owner manages every project. The work is done by our small, trusted team of professional painters. We don't use random subcontractors.

06 Do I need to be home?

Not at all. Most clients give us a key and go about their day. We're fully insured and will give you regular updates.

07 Are your quotes really a fixed price?

Yes, 100%. The price we quote is the price you pay. The only time it would change is if you ask for extra work not in the original plan.

08 What kind of paint do you use?

We only use premium low-fume paints. This gives you a durable, washable finish and better air quality in your home.

09 What if I don't like the colour?

We can help you choose and recommend testing sample pots first. Once you approve the colour and we start painting, any changes would be an addition to the project.

10 What do I need to do to prepare?

Just remove small, fragile, or sentimental items. We handle moving heavy furniture and covering everything to protect it.

11 What about my kids and pets?

Your family's safety is our priority. We use low-fume paints and keep our work area clean and safe every day.

12 Do you handle lead paint?

Yes. If your home was built before 1970, we follow all safety rules for lead paint to keep your home safe.

13 Do you do small jobs?

Yes. We handle jobs of all sizes, from a single feature wall to a full house. You'll get the same professional service.

14 What if something gets damaged?

We are extremely careful, but we're also fully insured with Public Liability Insurance to protect your property, just in case.

15 Do you offer a warranty?

Absolutely. We provide a 10-Year Workmanship Warranty. This protects you against any peeling or flaking from our work.

16 How do I know the quality will be high?

Our quality is guaranteed by our 21-point inspection. The owner personally walks through the project with you to check every detail.

17 What happens at the end?

We do a full clean-up and then the final walkthrough with you. Once you're happy, we'll provide the final invoice and your warranty documents.

18 What if I notice an issue later?

Just give us a call. We have a 'defects liability period' and will come back to fix any minor touch-ups at no charge.

19 What are your payment terms?

We ask for a small deposit to book your project. The final balance is due when the job is complete and you're happy.

20 Do you do other renovations?

Yes. Our broader company, Mardo Building Co., handles complete home renovations. We can discuss that as a separate project.
