Olphert Contracting Ltd (Painting, Decorating, Plasterboard Stopping)

Darryl Olphert admits he’s a bit of a perfectionist and makes no apologies for it. After all, it’s a trait clients certainly appreciate when you’re in the painting and decorating game.

Olphert Contracting Ltd has been transforming Southland homes and workplaces for nearly a decade. With a range of services for both the interior and exterior, the painting and specialist coatings company has quite literally got you covered. After completing his apprenticeship in Invercargill, Olphert headed across the ditch to hone his skills in the competitive Australian environment. The experience stood him in good stead when he opted to return home to Invercargill and establish their own company in 2006. Quickly earning a reputation as an industry leader, Olphert has focused on being a great finisher, producing quality work on time.

That’s how it is in a small town, and when you’ve got a name like mine, everyone seems to remember it so it’s vital you leave a positive impression.

Olphert and his team of 15 staff, including apprentices, complete an extensive range of painting and coating services for the residential, commercial, and industrial markets. With a gib-stopping division, Olphert Contracting Ltd has the tools to tackle any assignment and specializes in new homes.

The painting really is the icing on the cake – it can transform a house into a home by injecting the personality into it.

All Olphert Contracting Ltd work is backed by the Master Painters Association guarantee and the company is also a member of Site Wise.

Olphert has been on the NAG BCITO Board for Painting & Decorating for the past four terms, a role which reflects his passion for the industry.

I really enjoy my involvement – I’m invested professionally and personally in the trade and its future success.
