Elite Painters Ltd.South Auckland / Franklin District
We don’t just paint houses. We take care of them and the people who live in them.
Painting is never just about a fresh coat
It’s about walking into a space that feels looked after. That feels refreshed, finished, and fully yours again.
That’s the kind of work we show up for every day and the standard we’re known for.
How it started
Elite Painters began with a single job back in 2003. Anton, our founder, was just 16 when a family member brought him along to help on a site.
It wasn’t long before he fell in love with the whole process: the transformation of a tired, worn-out space into something crisp, clean and complete.
Since then, what started as a side job turned into a full-time trade, and eventually into a business built on detail, pride, and long-term client relationships.
Anton still leads every project today and works closely with the team on site.
Who we help
We work with homeowners, property managers and landlords across South Auckland and Franklin who want the job done once and done properly.
Most of our clients are busy people.
They’ve either had a go at painting themselves, worked with a painter who didn’t quite deliver, or simply don’t have the time to manage a project on their own.
What they want is someone they can trust to take it off their plate and get it right from start to finish.
The team behind the work
Anton

Our values
Workmanship you don’t have to second-guess
Most of our work comes through referrals, repeat clients and property professionals who trust us to look after their investments.
Our values are simple:
Do it once, do it right
No shortcuts. No rushed finishes. We take pride in delivering lasting results you’ll notice every day.
Respect the home, and the people in it
We protect your space like it’s ours. That means clean sites, polite crew, and clear communication the whole way through.
Take pride in every detail
From masking fittings and fixtures we can’t remove to temporarily removing those we can’t, we’re obsessive. Because the difference is in what you don’t see.
Keep it easy and honest
You’ll always know what’s happening, what it costs, and what to expect next. No fluff, no surprises.
Trusted by those who can’t afford to get it wrong
We’re proud to be trusted by some of the biggest names in property management across Auckland, including Barfoot & Thompson, Ray White, Spencer Henshaw, Propertex, Harcourts, Cobalt Construction and Kāinga Ora.
