Steve
Managing Director – Qualified Painter & Decorator
I founded ProColour Painting in 2013 with a vision to create a painting company that delivers a personalised approach and consistently high-quality results in Nelson. From the outset, I have always valued attention to detail and take pride in seeing a project through from start to finish, achieving results with a real wow-factor.
I am fully trade qualified and bring nearly 20 years of experience and expertise in the painting industry. Since our founding, the company has grown from just myself to a dedicated team of nine Qualified Painters and three apprentices, all of whom share the same commitment to excellence and attention to detail.
ProColour Painting is proud to be a member of Master Painters and one of the few Dulux-accredited painters in Nelson. Through innovative products, meticulous project management, and a focus on quality, we strive to deliver outstanding finished work on time and to the highest standard.

I’m a Director and the Operations Manager at ProColour Painting and have spent more than 15 years immersed in the painting industry. Over the years, I’ve developed comprehensive expertise across the entire painting process — from initial preparation to flawless finishes — and I take pride in delivering transformative results for homes, businesses, and large-scale projects alike.
I have a sharp eye for detail and a relentless commitment to quality. While spraying is one of my key fortes, I am also skilled in Porters special effects, Avista and other specialist flooring finishes, pool repairs and painting, specialised coatings and protective coatings, and everything else listed on our website! My focus is always on achieving seamless, high-caliber results while ensuring each project runs efficiently and effectively.
Outside of work, I love travelling and exploring new places with my wife and kids. Even after living throughout New Zealand, there’s still so much more we’re excited to discover together.
At ProColour Painting, we are a collaborative, forward-thinking team that thrives on leadership, innovation, and a shared commitment to excellence. We are dedicated to delivering exceptional outcomes for both our staff and our clients, ensuring every project exceeds expectations.
