About

The people who turn up.

Marcel has been on the tools since 1989. What started as one painter is now a family crew working across Taupō and the central plateau — and occasionally a good deal further.

Why Marcel Painting

Why the hardest jobs come to us.

Anyone can quote a job. Very few crews can hold a line across a whole house, work around guests and weather, and hand back a finish that still reads perfectly in ten years.

Preparation over everything

Filling, sanding, sealing, masking. It is the part nobody talks about and the only part that decides how a finish ages.

Ultra-luxury expertise

A proven record on multi-million dollar estates, including Queensland's most expensive private home.

Commercial & hospitality trust

The team behind Huka Lodge, plus multi-home developments for major builders like G.J. Gardner Homes.

Flown in, on request

Private clients have brought Marcel from Australia to New Zealand specifically for their projects.

Product knowledge that shows

Deep knowledge of paint systems, product selection and how a substrate behaves — knowing which coating still looks right in ten years, not ten months.

Family-run, start to finish

Marcel, Gemma, Baden and Kory. The people who quote the job are the people on site.

Behind the finish

The part nobody photographs.

Most of a paint job happens long before the first topcoat. It is slow, unglamorous work — and it is the reason a finish still looks right years later.
