Adding Value to Homes
Hi, I’m Sarah Howard.
Originally from Rotorua my curiosity about painting and decorating began while I was still in high school, although back then the pathway into the industry wasn’t clear at all, with university and polytechnic study being the only encouraged options.
Making the move to Hamilton in 1997 to pursue other career pathways I found myself at a dead end three and a half years later. Despite this initial setback a family member encouraged me to learn the painting trade by working alongside an experienced painter. With the Yellow Pages being the go-to resource at the time, I began making some phone calls which soon led to my first painting job. This hands-on experience allowed me to develop valuable skills and practical knowledge, while building an enthusiasm and appreciation for painting and decorating that has remained with me ever since.
In September 2022, I began working as a self-employed, qualified sole trader with the aim of delivering quality workmanship, attention to detail and a professional finish on every job.

Renovating your old fence can create instant street appeal for your property. This fence was in need of a makeover with faded posts and paint. After the fence had been cleaned and waterblasted, two coats of stain were applied to the posts and a new semi gloss acrylic spray finish applied to the corrugated iron panels creating a new look for the property.
A feature wall or accent wall is an eye catcher and can be an effective way of defining an area for a specific purpose. This feature wall for the dining area was chosen by the client.
This job was almost a complete renovation of a two storeyed 1970’s dwelling consisting of existing ceilings upstairs with all new walls, doors and trim. See my gallery for more photos. Gallery button below.
