## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this tradesperson's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Derek did a complete exterior paint of our weatherboard home - including stripping to bare wood the old paint (the house is circa 1905) on two sides where the paint was crazed. He gave us good advice on the type of paint to use, and taught us quite a few things we didn't know about paint finishes, and did a very thorough and careful job, being quite patient with our five colour palette with all sorts of detailing for finials, balustrades and fascias! He was pleasant to have on site and reliable"

> "Derek painted our old house inside and out over the last few months. His work is wonderful and he is pleasant and reliable. We miss him!"

## Before you hire a painter / decorator
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_
- In New Zealand, restricted building work must be carried out or supervised by a Licensed Building Practitioner, and all electrical, plumbing, gasfitting and drainlaying by a licensed tradesperson (EWRB for electricians, PGDB for plumbers and gasfitters). Check the public register before you hire.
- For residential building work of $30,000 or more you are legally entitled to a written contract and a disclosure statement setting out the tradesperson's skills, licences and insurance. Ask for both before work starts.
- Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
- Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work, and that they are current.
- Get a written, itemised quote with scope, assumptions and a staged payment schedule.
