Celebrating 25 years in business

Established by Brent Oliver in 1994 Penthouse Furniture Spraypainters specialise in high quality lacquer finishes for domestic and commercial joinery, completing work for a number of Wairarapa and Wellington's leading joinery businesses. Examples of their work can be found in beautiful homes, restaurants and bars throughout the Wairarapa and Wellington region and they have completed major contracts for landmark buildings like Parliament, Government House and Te Puia Rotorua.

Penthouse Spray-painters use high quality two pot spray finishes which give a superior finish and are longer lasting. The clear finishes bring out the best features of the natural beauty of wood, while colour finishes can be produced in virtually any colour imaginable.

Brent Oliver says some of the main reasons for the success of the business is their professionalism, high quality of their applied coatings and ability to deliver on time.

“We have 3 qualified level 4 tradesman who have all done there apprenticeships here with us and are vastly experienced. Also our ability to meet our deadlines is very important. Being one of the last trades involved in the joinery process we have installers, plumbers, electricians and builders all booked in on a certain date. So getting the clients joinery finished on time is an essential part of our business and something we pride ourselves on, and as a result of this most of our regular joiners have been with us for many many years and we have built up a strong relationship with these companies.”

Penthouse Spray-Painters also offer a factory to factory pick-up and drop-off service to the Wairarapa and Wellington Region and offer a complimentary full quoting system from architectural plans, drawings and designs. Meaning there are no surprise costs at the completion of a job.

Give your dream kitchen the ultimate finish

Over the years Penthouse Spraypainters have been involved in numerous “Master Joiner” award wining kitchen of the year titles which reflects the quality of our workmanship relates Brent. “Our kitchens tend to be in the middle to high end of the housing market and can be found in beautiful homes throughout the Wairarapa and Wellington region and reflect the times they were designed. Back in the 90’s greens, blues and reds where all the rage then we had a period in the 2000’s where whites and neutrals dominated the kitchen market. Of late we have seen a new trend by designers and architects favouring dark greys and blacks which look outstanding when installed.” Brent points out that a strong advantage a 2 pot urethane kitchen has over a laminate kitchen, is an unlimited colour range, virtually any colour imaginable can be matched. Also in a painted kitchen designers can choose a lot more intricate detail to make your dream kitchen come alive. As well as that water proofing of joinery has improved immensely over time with better moisture resistant MDF and improved 2 Pot urethane undercoat & topcoats.

Penthouse Spraypainters are an approved Mirotone applicator and all coatings meet the international recognised furniture coating standard BS-6250.

Commercial, doors, windows and benchtops

Penthouse Spraypainters also do a lot of work in numerous restaurants, bars, cafes and shop fit-outs. “When I first started out in the business it was just kitchens that kept us going, but now we have a full section in our factory dedicated to interior doors and pre-finished exterior windows,” says Brent.

“We are pre-finishing house loads of interior doors for some of Wellington's leading house building companies, which we pick up and deliver back to site. We also refurbish existing internal doors for older homes, this works out more economical for the customer to refurbish existing house doors, than buying new ones.

Another main stay of the business is the coating of solid timber bench tops in a 2 pot UV/heat resistant coating, with outstanding durability, ranging from a natural matt finish to a superb high gloss finish.
