High-end property painter servicing the Southern Highlands and Sydney
True craftsmanship isn’t about finishing first, it’s achieving a finish that lasts. For nearly a decade as a residential painter, I’ve taken pride in delivering exclusive homes with the kind of handcrafted finishes and unique timber treatments they deserve.
"We have done numerous renovations over the years and Berni was, without doubt, the best painter in Sydney we have engaged."

Colour consulting

When choosing colour tones, I like to keep it simple: warm, cool, or neutral. Whether you're selling, renting, or nesting, my colour selections are shaped by the natural light, existing furnishings, and the vibe you're going for – all about how the space makes you feel. It’s why I’ll always do in-person consultations – experiencing the space and understanding your vision.
Specialty finishes
So, why go for specialty finishes? Well, you want to revamp your surroundings, elevate the aesthetics, and express your style. We're talking elements of texture, pattern, colour, and application techniques – the creation of faux finishes like washes, metal patinas, pearlescent effects, and surface transformations. Only working with the best products, I use a thoughtfully curated selection of premium brands to transform surfaces like walls, metals, woods, and plaster – you name it.
Timber finishes
Timber is my one true passion in this craft. Full of natural beauty and character, treat it well and it’ll love you back. That's why I go the extra mile, dismantling structures to start from scratch. Sure it’s labor-intensive, but the results are worth every ounce of care. It's the kind of challenge that the timber deserves. Each piece has its own story to tell, demanding respect for the way timber grows and the years it’s taken to become a part of a structure. A great way to bring the outdoors in, no two pieces of timber are ever the same, making the creative possibilities endless. I mean, who doesn't love turning a fiery red wood into a cool Nordic hue with a touch of bleaching magic?
Protective coatings
There’s nothing worse than seeing metals with blistering applications! Taking the time to best prepare metal surfaces, I’ll make sure your finished coatings provide longer durability and high visual impact. Protecting metal surfaces from different environmental factors is key when selecting the right product. Whether you’re looking to coat metal around your pool, fencing, structural beams, framing, doors or stairs, I deliver a variety of finishes and effects right for the job. To tackle your project with the best coating system and preparation, I’ll work up a high-performance solution that suits your space.
What they’ve said
"We have done numerous renovations over the years and Berni was, without doubt, the best painter we have engaged. He was a pleasure to work with, took great pride in his work, and the quality of the finished product was exceptional. We highly recommend him as a true professional."
— Michael, Double Bay
“We have engaged Berni a couple of times. The indoor timber paint work was done to such a high standard that we didn’t hesitate engaging him again a few months later. The team was professional, friendly, dependable, and accommodating. Berni is thorough, with a keen eye for detail, and takes pride in his work; often making helpful suggestions to improve the outcome. He’s prepared to do that little bit extra.”
— Dan, Vaucluse
“Berni, you did a superb job painting the exterior of our property. Your attention to detail - sometimes very fine detail - is such a rarity these days that I have to recommend you as the best, most reliable, most hard working tradesman I have come across in Sydney. You are not the quickest, and certainly not the cheapest; but when it comes to quality you get the prize. It was a pleasure having you around.”
— Christopher, Paddington
True craftsmanship isn’t about finishing first, it’s achieving a finish that lasts.
For nearly a decade as a residential painter, I’ve taken pride in delivering exclusive homes with the kind of handcrafted finishes and unique timber treatments they deserve. The final trade on your project, I'll give it personalisation and polish.
I won’t take any job. But the ones I do, I’m always the right man for it. And even though some might do it cheaper, I’ll always do it better.
Valuing all my projects and clients, I sweat the details so they don’t have to, only using the best products and materials to get lasting results. Trends will come and go, but quality and style age well. So don’t compromise on your space—it’s a choice you’ll have to live with every day.
