Bob Anderson

Owner

With an impressive 35 years in the industry, Bob knows his stuff when it comes to painting. Based in Taumarunui, he’s a Master Painter who excels in both commercial and residential projects. Bob does everything from the quoting, painting, invoicing. You need to have your finger on the pulse to keep everything under control!

What inspired you to become a painter, and how did you get started in the industry?

I grew up with my dad, who was a painter, and I used to tag along with him on weekends and holidays. There's something magical about turning a rundown house into a brand-new home or renovating a 110-year-old villa to make it look like it was just built.

How do you stay up to date with the latest painting techniques and trends?

I never miss a Master Painters conference and AGM. I've been attending these events for 15 years, and they keep us in the loop with key speakers and updates from paint companies. Networking with fellow Master Painters is invaluable. If you're not attending your trades' annual conference and awards, how can you claim to be up to date with the latest knowledge, techniques, products, and rates?

What do you like to do for fun when you aren’t working?

When I'm not working, you can find me chilling out, enjoying water skiing, playing basketball, jet boating, or indulging in my favourite hobby—renovating my own villa!

How are you different from other painters?

Well, it all starts with our company name! With 35 years of painting experience, I'm a registered Master Painter, Resene Eco.Decorator, and a certified lead contractor. You won't find anyone within a 100km radius with these qualifications!

What are your favourite types of painting projects and why?

I absolutely love tackling big projects like commercial roofs and buildings. With my trusty petrol-powered sprayer, nothing can stop us, not even power cuts. We're self-sufficient and don't need to rely on external power sources. I have a genuine passion for spraying, which delivers an exceptional finish and outstanding quality.
