WHO WE ARE

At Painting Elements, we're more than just business — we're homeowners ourselves. We understand the importance of having a crew that cares, which is why we founded our company on the principle of providing the kind of service we would want for our own home.

Our journey began as a vision to elevate the painting service in the Nelson Tasman region, driven by our desire to make a meaningful impact to our clients and our community.
