40+ years painting Christchurch homes, schools and commercial buildings, with the same standard on every job.
I left Christchurch Boys' High School in 1985 and went straight into painting. I served my apprenticeship with John Watkins Limited and stayed on with them for another ten years, learning the trade properly from people who took pride in it. After a spell being self employed, I established Mason Wairau Painters as a company in 2012.
In the years since, I have painted just about everything Canterbury has to offer, from family homes and rental properties to schools, new builds and commercial sites. Through to the end of 2017 I was an EQC accredited main contractor, ranked inside the top thirty, working on earthquake and insurance damaged properties right across the city. That period taught me how to manage complex jobs, keep clients informed, and get the details right under pressure.
Communication is at the heart of everything I do. Every job is professional and tailored to what the client actually needs, and I am on site doing the work, not just quoting it. That means the person who gives you the price is the person who delivers the finish.
I am competent with harness and rope work, elevated work platforms and knuckle booms. That training is what lets me take on roof painting safely and without the cost of scaffold, and it keeps every site safe and tidy.
When a job needs more than paint, I have certified trade contacts and can manage the wider project for you. Whatever the work, my aim is the same: a professional finish, honest advice and a tidy job you are happy with.

Mason is one of those rare people who do what they say they'll do, at the price quoted, with no mess and in the timeline promised. We are absolutely stoked with Mason's work on our home. It was a huge task to paint our wood fascias, the roofs and the sides of our two-storey house, but he completed the work within a week to an exceptional quality at a price we were comfortable with.
I was delighted with Mason's work on painting our roof. Mason pays particular attention to every detail to ensure a complete job, and his work ethic and willing nature is the best I've ever experienced. I'd highly recommend Mason to anyone seeking a painting tradesman.
Mason painted a flat portion of my roof yesterday. Very happy with the job. A lovely guy who turns up on time and does a really good job. I highly recommend him. Cheers Chris.
