What a Huge difference!!!! – We are so pleased with MJ Harris painting. The communication and customer service was brilliant from the beginning to the end. Mario and his team were awesome. They painted the interior of my 3bed 2bath home and it looks sensational. As I was not living in the property, Mario sent progress photos throughout the job and also sprayed the ceiling… Read more

vents and air con white so they look brand new! Their attention to detail was brilliant also. I would not hesitate to hire this team again, in fact I'm currently getting a quote to get my backyard paved and will get a quote to get my ensuite renovated through MJ Harris group. **2 photos attached are of my ceilings in Dulux Vivid White. The third photo also shows the wall colour (lexicon quarter strength).

High class professional painting – We are delighted with the external painting of our weatherboard home done by Mario and his team. Everyone we dealt with was professional, pleasant, on time and always helpful. The work was completed within the four weeks allocated. The site was kept clean and tidy throughout. The team delivered what was set out in the quote with proper preparation… Read more

underpinning the final result. This was a prime reason for choosing M.J. Harris. As lead painter, we thank Tony for his constant focus, high standards, admirable skill set and attention to detail. Our front door, in high gloss enamel, has a mirror finish that is testament to his craftsmanship and care. We are happy to recommend M.J. Harris.

Professional painting job – M.J. Harris did a very thorough and professional job in repainting the exterior of our house. One thing I really liked was how they were able to cover all aspects of the job such as replacing rotting timbers and recaulking. I’m really pleased with the result and feel that I got good value for money. Special thanks to Connor, Amy, Mario and the… Read more

rest of the team for your great work and the care you took in working within COVID restrictions. I would definitely use M.J. Harris again.

Expensive for a very average job – Quote was pricey. But sales came as across as very positive and can do. so went with it. But on the day, got a lot of short cuts and this and that not included. We got a pergola put up and the shade cloth was cut so short and not staples to the frame enough that we had to get up on the ladder to finish the job. Mosty staff were outsourced and not… Read more

skilled. On employee was a family member and didn't give a rats. There was zero project management and control.

Poor Communication – We were quoted verbally a week on the paint job; we were told verbally we would have an entire crew on site. This morning one painter showed up; he in fact said he was surprised that it was only him. In conversations today, we have been told that the quote was for 12 days. We declined that quote previously; it was never mentioned again; only the… Read more

verbal one week quote was mentioned. Seems you really need to work on your communication processes and clarity so that customers are not surprised.

waisted my time with quote – wasted three weeks waiting for quote, called and they said they would get back to me with the quote, never did! the job wasn't small, have organised another painter.

Attention to detail and professional conduct – We had MJH paint the exterior a short while ago, purely based on reviews. They sent Rod over as the team lead, and boy were we impressed. If you dislike painting like I do, then you will struggle to comprehend how Rod and his team display much pride and attention to detail in plying their trade. This time round we had the interior done and… Read more

OBVIOUSLY requested the same team. Again we had the same quality of workmanship and frankly it was quite a pleasure having them around again the second time. Extremely accommodating to the point that you almost feel as though you're hindering them. Real pro's. P.S. I generally do not wright reviews but was so taken aback by the (these days seemingly rare) professionalism, that I felt compelled to share my experience.

Exterior painting – I can only confirm comments made by other satisfied customers of MJ Harris. We recently updated outside colour scheme including aluminium window/door frames and front fence. The finished job is beautiful. We are so happy with how the new colour scheme came together. We have to thank Mario for his attention throughout the works, Rochelle for… Read more

her excellent choice of colours, Dilli and Charles our paint staff, who were most obliging and with demonstrated attention to detail. It was a pleasure to have them on site. What a relief to have a job well done in sometimes trying weather conditions and a two week industrial lockdown. Congratulations MJ Harris.

Delighted with external paint job and refreshing of Edwardian era family weatherboard home – MJ Harris did a highly profession external paint job of our 100+-year-old weatherboard house. The consultation process was friendly and thorough. When issues (rotting timber) were found during the job, they provided an honest assessment of the additional work required, and the options. The team of painters led by Mario and Rod, and carpenters,… Read more

Lovely people, very good work – We were very happy with MJ Harris, in particular the people we worked with and the quality of the job. Like other reviewers, they were neither the cheapest nor the most expensive but we saw value for what we spent. Mario did a great job of managing the task, gave a good and clear quote with good details, and was very good at keeping us informed.… Read more

Hitesh in particular was terrific to have around the house and was very warm and considerate , in addition to doing a great job. He also has high standards of keeping the site neat and organised every night. We'd be happy to use them again, and it was very helpful that the carpentry people liaised directly with the painting people. It was a fairly big external job, done over winter so they had to be flex around weather and lockdowns,

Best house in the street!! – I would highly recommend MJ Harris painting. Mario and his team especially Neal for the expert job painting our house. It was no small feat and the crew showed a great commitment to it sustained over at least 6 weeks and then returned to complete extra elements as they were complete. Communication was excellent and I always new what was the… Read more

schedule ahead of time and who would be at the house. We have had strangers complement us on the how great the house looks and this is in large part to the painting. We are very satisfied with the end result; there really is no substitute for a professional paint job.

A+ for effort – MJ Harris have recently completed a full exterior paint job on our Californian Bungalow, and we couldn't be happier with their workmanship. The job included replacing two large windows and some weatherboards, plus a number of weeks of preparation before painting. Updates from the painters and the office staff were excellent.

Excellent service, quality staff – Brooke and Shae recently spent just 4 days painting the interior of our 2bed apartment. Each day arriving on time, complying with the many rules/restrictions of our building and doing a great job transforming drab and tired walls, ceiling and skirtings into a smooth, fresh and modern interior whilst they worked around hubby and I who were working from home that week. Many thanks.

Thrilled with painting job – I organised five quotes for my painting job. M.J. Harris Painting was neither the cheapest nor the most expensive. Their quote was the most extensive and professional. I was out of the country when the job was done and returned to a beautifully painted apartment, with a stunning feature wall. Brooke did a fantastic job and I am over the moon… Read more

Professional paint job at reasonable price – This is the second time I used Harris in two years. I was impressed on how they painted the outside of my double story house 2 years ago. So I got them to paint my parent's single story house last week. I was happy with the finish product.
