Who We Are

The name on the shirt is the name on the work

John Hersee Master Painters is a professional residential and commercial painting company built on two priorities: dependability and quality. We have served the Newcastle area for decades, and that history shows in the way we work. We take the time to understand your project, advise you honestly on finishes, colours and products, and deliver craftsmanship we are proud to sign.

Our team is fully licensed and insured, and we hold memberships with Master Painters Australia and the Master Builders Association. When our painters walk onto your site, they carry 45 years of standards with them.

Award-winning workmanship,
guaranteed for 10 years.

Our Process

How the masters work

Every John Hersee project follows the same five steps: a complimentary consultation, a tailored project outline, a scheduled team of master painters, a dedicated project manager who keeps you updated throughout, and a 10-year guarantee on the finished work.

  1. The Consultation

    We examine your project in detail and advise you on the finishes, colours and products that will serve you best, including specialty finishes that elevate a space. Obligation free.

  2. The Outline

    You receive a tailored project outline. No surprises, no padding, nothing you did not agree to.

  3. The Team

    Your project is scheduled with a team drawn from more than 35 qualified master painters and apprentices.

  4. The Manager

    A dedicated project manager keeps you updated on progress, and your feedback is heard and actioned while the work happens, not after.

  5. The Guarantee

    All work performed by our team is guaranteed for 10 years. If anything needs us, we are a phone call away.
