Castle Coatings is a Nelson-based interior painting specialist. Christine, one of New Zealand's youngest Master Painters, leads every project — from colour advice through to the final walkthrough.
A well-done interior repaint transforms a home. Clean lines around ceilings and trims, even coverage on the walls, and a finish that still looks beautiful years later. That's the standard we work to on every Nelson home we paint.
Whether it's a single feature wall, a bedroom refresh or a full-home interior repaint before you list or move in, we take the preparation seriously — because prep is where a good paint job is really won.
Washing, filling, sanding, spot priming and masking done properly before the first coat goes on.
Premium interior paints applied in the number of coats needed for even, lasting coverage.
Floors, furniture, benchtops and joinery covered before we start. Cleaned up at the end of every day.
Careful cutting-in around ceilings, skirting, architraves and window joinery for a tidy, considered finish.
Christine helps you narrow down colours, sheens and undertones so the result feels right in your home.
We complete a final check with you to make sure the finish is clean, polished and ready to enjoy.
Christine is one of New Zealand's youngest Master Painters. Your interior work is held to a recognised national standard.
A Nelson-based team led by Christine — organised, communicative and meticulous about the finish.
A local business rooted in the Nelson community, not a fly-in franchise team.
From the first call to the final walkthrough, Castle Coatings keeps the process clear, organised and easy to follow. Christine and the team will guide you through the details, help you understand the next steps and make sure your project is planned properly before the first brush hits the wall.
We start by learning about your project, your goals, your timeline and the finish you want to achieve. Whether it is a new build, repaint, wallpaper feature or Venetian plaster finish, this first conversation helps us understand what matters most to you.
Christine can visit the property, look over the space and talk through colours, finishes, surfaces and practical details. This is where we help shape the project around your home, your style and your budget.
You will receive a clear, detailed proposal outlining the scope of work, pricing and the recommended approach. We make sure you know what is included, what to expect and how the project will move forward.
Before painting begins, the team prepares the surfaces properly and protects the surrounding areas. This may include sanding, filling, masking, covering floors and furniture, and making sure the space is ready for a high quality finish.
The Castle Coatings team completes the work with care, precision and attention to detail. We focus on clean lines, even coverage, durable finishes and clear communication throughout the job.
Once the work is complete, we check everything over and make sure the finish is clean, polished and ready to enjoy. The goal is simple: a result that looks great, lasts well and feels right for your home.
