Testimonials

Pelham Painters were very professional, prompt and reliable. They worked hard to finish our exterior paintwork on time even with some unpredictable weather. We are very pleased with the result!

Suzanne, Blackmans Bay

Several years ago, the exterior of our residence required painting. We contacted Pelham Painters and were impressed with their promptness in assessing the work and providing a detailed quotation. The work was carried out in a timely fashion and we were extremely satisfied with the quality of the outcome. Consequently, when we recently required varnishing of doors and window frames, we had no hesitation in contacting Pelham Painters once again with the same result in the process of assessment, quoting and satisfaction of the finished work. Pelham Painters’ employees are hard working, efficient, obliging and pleasant to deal with.

Michael and Anita, Mount Stuart

The team at Pelhams have just completed the render repair and painting of our home - quite a challenging job with scaffolding required on three levels. We have been delighted with the end result and indeed the whole process. The team were very respectful of our property. Communication was also excellent - keeping us up to date with the daily progress and the plan gong forward. Any input from ourselves during the course of the job was dealt with in a very professional and timely manner. A great job all round! We would have no hesitation of recommending Pelham Painters.

K&S, Mount Nelson

I live in Opossum Bay and it’s often hard to get tradies to quote because of the distance from Hobart. Distance was no problem for Pelhams and (in spite of distance) they always turned up when they said they would. I am dealing with some health issues and Pelhams worked hard to make sure there was minimal disruption to my life. Work started when promised and was completed on time, and every question I had was answered fully and patiently. The quote provided was accurate and meant that I didn’t suffer bill shock! My little house was looking a bit tired. It now looks beautiful thanks to suggestions from Paul and your good work. A brilliant job done with care and attention and I felt listened to through the whole process.

Anne, Opossum Bay

From the first contact with Scott to waving goodbye to the scaffolders, our painting project - for us - was a breeze. Scott’s team presented exceptionally well, were always on time and went about the job with the minimum of fuss. Everyday we received a short progress report before the guys left and we always were given plenty of notice if they needed us to do anything. They worked to a plan but were also flexible enough to adapt according to the transient spring weather conditions. In short, Scott, Marcin and the team are professionals and did an absolutely transformational job on our home. We can’t thank them enough for doing a top job. It’s unlikely we will ever need a painter again but if we did, we wouldn’t hesitate to contact Scott again.

Rose and Tim, Charlotte Cove

No need to have any worries about using Pelham Painters when looking for a professional company to use. From the moment I forwarded an email asking for a quote everything fell into place. Appointment times were always on time, work started when promised, and always kept in touch with what was happening. We had 3 painters over a period of 7 days, great guys, no mess, very quiet and well mannered, but most of all so very professional. The finished job is 1st class.

Wilma and Kevin Rawlings

From the initial project planning meeting to the final day of painting, Pelham Painters consistently delivered all that you hope for, plus some. While painting the exterior of my home the team were always punctual and professional, nothing ever was too much trouble, especially when I was sorting out the colours and the various accented areas to be painted. Each day I was given time to discuss progress and the work was executed in a clean and organised manner. The final result is testament to the attention to detail and high level of preparation which went into the work before the final painting. The change of colour to my home has been something I have considered for a long time and Pelham Painters made it all the more easier.

Sandra Doyle

We recently had Pelham Painters paint the whole outside of our large 2 storey house. Throughout this process Scott and all his painters were efficient, on time, polite and great with our dog! The quality of the painting was fantastic. We are very happy with the result and have no hesitation recommending Scott and his team.

Phil and Sandra

I have always been completely happy with the work completed at my home - both indoors and outside - by Pelham Painters. They have been doing work for me now for about 13 years. The work is always of a high standard, the painters arrive on time and work conscientiously, the service is professional but friendly and courteous, and the property is always left tidy. I have no hesitation in recommending Pelham Painters.

Alison Morgan, New Town

Just wanted to let you know how thrilled we are with the very high standard of work being done and how extremely impressed we are with the outstanding people who are doing it. The team is highly skilled, hard working, punctual and a pleasure to have in our home and so capably led by Marcin and Paul. We can clearly see why Pelhams has earned such an enviable reputation.

J and G, Bellerive

Pelham Painters completed an external house paint for us, including fences and carport. From the initial meeting with Scott to the guys doing the work, everyone was professional, considerate and very punctual. And, yes the house looks great. Highly recommended.

Bev & Bruce

We were dreading the upheaval & disruption a full interior repaint job might cause but were almost pleasantly surprised. While doing an excellent job, the painters, Brett and Andrew, were considerate, helpful, respectful and friendly. Rooms were finished & returned to us quickly to allow us to have some comfort during the process. We were very happy with the result!

Andrew & Julia Ross

We have been extremely happy with Scott Pelham and his team. We had both the exterior, including the roof, and the interior of the house painted. Brett and Andrew were a fantastic team. Extremely professional and trustworthy, always punctual, reliable and friendly. Attention to detail was always spot on as was the communication between us. We would highly recommend Pelham Painters as the “go to” for any professional painting jobs, whether it be large or small. Thank you for an excellent job done.

Lynne Gowans and Bruce Hartney

I highly recommend Scott Pelham and his team for their Efficient, Affordable and Friendly service. Thank you!

Janne Thompson

Scott Pelham was an absolute pleasure to deal with. He was very responsive, communicative and upfront in advising the lead time before he could get to our job. On top of that he was very competitively priced. Compared to others I tried to deal with who wouldn't return calls, flatly refused to consider the job because they were too busy or quoted ridiculous prices because they weren't overly interested in the work, Scott was a fresh of breath air. The job was done quickly, efficiently and with a minimum of fuss (even when we changed our mind on the paint colour at the last minute!). After trying to deal with other painters, I wouldn't want to deal with anyone else now. Scott knows the true meaning of customer service and just doesn't pay it lip service.

Craig Harding, Rosny

I asked Scott to paint the exterior of a house that had multiple stories and surfaces and was in poor condition. There was a tight time frame for the work to be completed, and it was done in late winter. He started on the day promised and finished on time. His employees were competent, friendly and conscientious, they stayed on the job all day (unlike many contractors who leave to buy lunch and morning tea). They sanded work back to timber when it was necessary and used high quality paints (Haynes and Taspaint) and fillers. I have already recommended them to 2 other potential clients.

Paul Felix, Geilston Bay

I have a 1927 Federation House that needed the bay window, eaves and decorative fretwork above the verandah repainted...detailed work and not easy to access. Scott Pelham and the team couldn’t have been more helpful, organising scaffolding, Electrical cable covers, and some roof repairs. I just couldn’t have been more happy both with the professionalism of the company and the quality of the work.

Penny Morton, Sandy Bay

Being new to Tasmania it was a daunting prospect to start renovating our newly purchased home in Kingston Beach. However, from the initial quote visit with Scott Pelham we had no hesitation in hiring Pelham Painters to complete the project. As it turned out, we were so happy with the progress, we expanded the project to include painting the entire home! During the project, all of the painters were respectful, professional and diligent. The end result is fantastic and we could not be more grateful. It is with the highest regard that we recommend Scott and his team. We would definitely get them back again!

Ian and Lisa Taylor, Kingston Beach

We highly recommend Pelham Painters. Ours was a big job: complete interior and exterior of an old federation home requiring attention to old lathe and plaster walls and lots of decorative elements. The calibre of the Pelhams team was very high. They were thorough, professional and skilled. What’s more they were all complete gentleman and very good at communicating with us. This was important to me since I was at home for the project and spent a lot of time with them. It was a pleasure to deal with each and every one of them - they really went the extra mile to ensure the quality of the finished product.

Lisa Wardlaw-Kelly

We recently purchased a house in Hobart but reside in Perth so had expected organising trades to be difficult. However when I called Scott he arranged to meet on site the following morning and we discussed in detail each room and the removal of very old wallpaper. I felt extremely comfortable that Pelham painters were honest and reliable so was very happy to hand over the key. We returned to see an amazing transformation of our home everything was left clean and tidy therefore I would not hesitate to recommend Scott and his team their work is highly professional.

Lee and Peter Fogarty

When downsizing recently we were confronted with the decision to choose a painter amongst a trade where delays, uncertainty of workmanship and inflated prices are common place. Pelham Painters were recommended to us and after a quotation and guidance on renovation processes we have been delighted with their finished work, on time and on budget. The crew were especially helpful, friendly and very professional in the conduct of their work. Minor questions on paint selection to dust control were never an issue and answered politely and clearly. We are more than happy with the final product, especially their advice on selection of feature walls and would recommend Pelham Painters as a first call.

Phil and Elizabeth Cooper, Beach House Apartments

From the quotation to the last brush stoke and clean up, Pelham painters were highly professional when they painted our house. They did what they said they would do and actually began painting prior to the start date they committed to. Our house was also a very complex painting job but despite this it was painted to a very high standard. The painting team were also friendly and took pride in their work. We love the paint job as it has transformed the house!

Julie and Mike

Graham and I just wanted to say thank you so much, we are extremely happy with our newly painted house and fence and it was worth waiting for Pelham Painters to do the job. Paul and Ben were great, very courteous and respectful and kept us informed re progress. It was very much appreciated how they cleaned up after themselves each day and never left a mess. We are also very happy with the quality of the work and we would have no hesitation in recommending Pelham Painters.

Michelle and Graham Kent, New Town

The word, also starting with P, that comes to mind to describe Pelham Painters, is PROFESSIONALISM. From the first contact with Scott this professional approach was evident. Courteous, knowledgeable and helpful were the attributes that stood out and these were followed by promptness and a competitive quote. Scott stayed in touch throughout to make sure we knew when the job was to be started and, just as importantly for us, completed. The tradesmen turned up on time over several days and they did a thoroughly professional, high quality job. Clean, meticulous, trustworthy. We would not hesitate to recommend Pelham Painters to anyone and more importantly we would use them again.

Annette and Jack Johnston

It is always great to work with a true professional, Pelham Painters have brought our 100 year old weatherboard house back to life. From start to finish we were very impressed with the quality of work and attention to detail, Scott and his team were very responsive to all our questions and requests. We love the job you did, highly recommend Pelham Painters.

Matt Smith

We wanted to let you know how pleased we are with the work that your painters have done on our house - it looks wonderful and has made such a change. Your painting crew of Martin and Wojciech are an absolute credit to your business. They are polite, cheerful, efficient, skilful and good-humoured and it has been our pleasure to have them on the job. You have been a pleasure to deal with and have answered all our queries promptly and with courtesy. We have already had several comments about how good the house looks and on the quality of the work. We would thoroughly recommend Pelham Painters as our experience has been so positive with such a good outcome.

Nick and Christina Bosly-Pask

We had a very good experience with Pelhams. A quick response to our initial call was quickly followed by a visit and a quote arrived shortly after. The quote was not the lowest we received but was the most detailed and professional and this encouraged us to accept it, a decision we do not regret. Our job involved painting our heritage-listed weatherboard cottage (including a couple of chimneys and dormer windows) and an attached modern extension. The team were very pleasant, trustworthy and professional. We would have no hesitation in recommending Pelham Painters to anyone.

Brian and Alison

Pelham Painters did an excellent job for us. There were some tricky bits (under the guttering and eaves) and the painters coped with all that very well. They also gave me some very useful advice about possible maintenance problems in the future. I can recommend Pelham Painters unreservedly

Ross Skinner, Sandy Bay August 2017

"They pride themselves as being "on-time every time", and this was certainly the case with our job, not only when quoting but also when doing the work. Staff were fantastic, and we are very happy with the quality of the finished result, as well as their attention to detail and tidiness when leaving the site at the end of each day. We will definitely be using Pelham Painters again."

Maddie Bowerman, West Hobart August 2017

“Pelham Painters were fast, efficient and did a fabulous job (all within a week of my call). Their finish was fantastic, their service speedy and they helped me choose colours that would compliment my home. I will be using them again and would highly recommend them to anyone.”

Donna Roberts

“Scott Pelham was quick to provide a mutual suitable quotation. His painters were punctual, professional, efficient, friendly and most importantly performed the tasks required in a very satisfactory manner. I would have no hesitation in recommending Pelham Painters in this regard.”

Chris Laugher

“We have used Pelham painters twice now on our houses and we can very highly recommend them for their efficiency, professionalism, workmanship, reliability and work ethic.”

Sue and Alain

“We have received many compliments from strangers walking by and neighbours on the quality of the work. One day a real estate sales person door knocking the area, commented that no other home improvement accelerates a dwelling's sale and gives a good return on a house investment than a quality paint job.

We will continue to recommend your services to our friends and neighbours and any person who asks for their house to be painted.”

P & J Slade

“We recently used Pelham Painters to repaint all the rooms in our house. Scott initially attended to provide us with advice on colour selection which turned out to be spot on. His attention to detail was excellent and we could not be happier with the finished result. His team of painters were very professional and attentive to our needs and got their job done with a minimum of inconvenience. We would highly recommend Pelham Painters.”

Andrea – Sandy Bay

“Over the last few years we have used Scott and his team for many painting jobs and have always been extremely happy with the professionalism of the whole process from quoting to planning and the final product.

The most recent job was very difficult being the complete repaint of a rented apartment having to be completed between rentals and finished in 5 days.

Not only was the job completed in 4 days to our total satisfaction, and the apartment was left in a pristine state. We would very happy to use Pelham Painters for any future work, and would be happy to recommend Scott and his team to any other potential customers.”

John and Helen Stokes – Hobart

“Scott Pelham and his team have just completed their second large project for us.  They are a pleasure to work with – efficient, on time, professional and the end product is great.  We would happily have them work for us again and we recommend them unreservedly.

  Thanks for all of your good work.  Our house looks so much better now – we are very happy with it after all the stress of how it looked before.  We will certainly give you a call whenever we need some painting work done.”

Sue Pastre – Montagu Bay

“I cannot speak highly enough of Pelham Painters. They were prompt and most considerate and friendly when working inside the house. Their work was highly professional in all aspects. When I require further painting at my residence I would not hesitate to call on Pelham Painters”

Helen Hall

“I have used Scott Pelham Painters 3 times over the past three years on both inside and outside work. They are first class tradesmen who do the job to the standard required. Not the cheapest, as his own advertising says, but worth the cost in my view. I am more than happy to recommend this business.”

Doug Parkinson – North Hobart

“Without hesitation Scott Pelham and his team are one of the most professional units that I have dealt with. The process began when we organised a competitive hourly rate, continued with the addition of painters as and when the job required (up to seven were there at one stage) and finished with no job being too small to allow a perfect conclusion to our renovation. In a market where quality tradespeople are hard to come by, Pelham Painters cared about meeting our expectations.”

Terry Richardson – West Hobart

“Just wanting to let you and other customers know that we have been extremely happy with the painting from all the Pelham Painters boys.

Not only have they all done an amazing job, they were professional at all times, meticulous about their work and polite throughout their time here, as they worked on our house for a couple of weeks.

Pelham Painters should be proud of what they have achieved and have produced a high quality of work that has received endless compliments from surrounding neighbours of South Hobart.

We also recently received an award for our house and I feel part of that was because the house has been painted so beautifully by your experienced team.

Thank you so much for making such a huge job so easy.”

Rach Clerk – South Hobart

“Scott was very prompt and punctual in visiting me to discuss the job required and gave me great advice where needed.

The painting team arrived on time on the first day and carried out the job efficiently and in a very professional manner. They were very neat and tidy and were more than helpful when we needed to discuss any aspects of the job at hand.

I intend to use Pelham painters later this year to carry out internal painting and have no hesitation in doing so, I would also highly recommend this company to any neighbours, friends, family or work colleagues.”

Stanley Rimon – Howrah

“I have used the services of Pelham Painters on three occasions over the past few years and on each occasion I have been completely happy with the quality of workmanship, professionalism, courtesy, timeliness and attention to detail of all concerned. The three occasions were:  the repainting of all exterior surfaces of my home, including a garage roof; the repainting of my bathroom and toilet; and most recently, the repainting of my kitchen.”

Alison Morgan - New Town

“I have used Scott and his team many times over the years and as I said to him just this week – Scotty is about the only tradie I know who always turns up when he says he will.

Pelham Painters are professional, reliable and trustworthy.  They use high quality paint and always clean up after themselves.

I can’t recommend them highly enough.”

Mat Rowell – Lenah Valley

“Pelham Painters is a very professional organisation. I rang for a quote they came promptly at the time that they had given. The jobs they have done are amazing.  My carport mainly fence palings looks fabulous. That was over 5 years ago and there is no sign of weathering.  I have since used them in and outside my house and I could not be happier with the work they have done.  The painters are friendly and professional and I'd have no problem recommending them for any painting jobs.”

Nicole – Mt Stuart

“We recently (April 2016 ) engaged Pelham Painters to prepare and paint the eaves, window frames and doors of our two story house in West House.  Pelham's personnel were prompt, efficient, polite and completely professional.  Preparation of all surfaces was conducted comprehensively, windows and surrounds were properly masked and the finished product was excellent.  On completion of the job all residue and paint flakes were cleaned up and removed and there is no evidence of any over painting on trim or glass.

The quoted cost for the job was competitive, the result met all expectations and we have no hesitation in recommending Pelham Painters to any prospective customer.”

David Plummer – West Hobart

“Pelham Painters painted my house and front fence in April this year. There was a lot of preparatory work to be done beforehand as it's an old weatherboard home that had seen better days. I couldn't be happier with the result. Pelham's professionalism is to be admired along with their punctuality, courtesy, work ethic, meticulous attention to detail, respect of property, cleaning up, etc. I have the highest regard for the men who did the work and happily endorse the company. It was a totally hassle-free experience. ”

P Lucas - Sandy Bay

“We are very happy with the result of the exterior painting of our house.  This was not a simple task as much of the render had to be removed and replaced prior to painting.  The end result is amazing.  I was particularly pleased with the preparation work which meant decks and windows were protected.  Every scrap of the old render was removed by your guys and there was absolutely no after mess for us to clean up. Your guys were really friendly and courteous throughout always letting us know if they would be delayed or unable to come back due to inclement weather.  We would certainly recommend Pelham Painters without hesitation.”

Cathie & Graham Hunnibell

“We were very happy with the way Pelham Painters approached their task.  They were up front and practical.  Nothing was too small, too hard or too inconvenient.  Their staff were 100 per cent helpful and cooperative.  I have no hesitation in recommending them too anyone who wants a professional job well done”

Robbie Tronson – Sandy Bay

“I recently had my large, two storey weatherboard home completely repainted externally by Pelham Painters.

The reason I selected this firm was their competitive price plus good feedback I received as a result of a number of enquiries.   

I was completely satisfied with all aspects of the way in which the job was carried out. The preparation was extensive, the staff were efficient and obliging and the final result was first class. ”

 Barry Roberts M.I.E. Aust.

“Please accept my thanks for the quality of the work, and the inherent decency and warm of your representatives. It was a pleasure to meet and speak with them. I meet many people in my profession, and was impressed with your employees.”

Chris – West Hobart

“I highly recommend Pelham Painters. The price was reasonable and the scheduling was fast and easy. They were very accommodating and even returned to paint a fence after out grape vine was pruned back after the initial job had been completed. No job is too big or small. I will definitely be using them again.”

Laurinus

“Pelham Painters did a fantastic job on our house, inside and out. The were punctual and kept to the schedule they had agreed to. They were very clean on site and made no mess. It has improved the look of the property no end.”

Jeremy Rackham

“We can highly recommend Pelham Painters. They have worked for us on several occasions both inside and outside. Their staff are very professional and their workmanship cannot be faulted. We definitely we be utilising their services again in the future.”

Natalie & Colin

“We can't recommend Pelham Painters highly enough. From a business end the quote and communication was fantastic. The workmanship of the painters was equally excellent - they were reliable and did an amazing job bringing my 100+ year old home back to it's former glory. The guys were reliable, always arrived early and were very respectful. Thank you Pelham Painters!”
