At Bay Decorating, we provide professional painting services across Napier, Hastings, and Havelock North. From fresh interiors to heritage villa restorations, we bring a tidy, reliable approach to every project. As painting contractors who live and work in Hawke's Bay, we look after your home like it's our own.

Interior House Painting

Nothing makes a home feel fresh like a new coat of paint. Whether it’s walls, ceilings, trims, or a feature wall, we’ll get the job done neatly and with as little disruption as possible. We protect your floors and furniture, prep surfaces properly, and leave each room clean at the end of every day.

Light Plaster & Gib Repairs

Alongside painting, we can also take care of small plaster and gib stopping jobs — such as patching holes, bathroom touch-ups, and light renovation work. This saves homeowners and project managers the hassle of organising a separate contractor - one of the advantages of working with a painting company that handles prep and finishing in-house.

Exterior House Painting

Your home's exterior deserves just as much care as the inside. We paint weatherboards, cladding, and full house exteriors across Napier and Hawke's Bay - always starting with solid prep work. We've invested in specialist equipment that strips old paint off weatherboards quickly and cleanly, which means a better surface and a finish that lasts longer.

New Build House Painting

We work closely with homeowners and builders to provide quality painting for new builds across Hawke's Bay. Our team keeps projects on track and delivers modern, durable finishes that stand the test of time. If you're looking for painting contractors who communicate well and work seamlessly with your build team, we're the right fit.

Heritage Homes & Villa Painting

Older homes are full of character — but they also need the right kind of care. We specialise in villa and heritage painting, taking extra time to prep surfaces properly. Our professional paint shaver lets us strip weatherboards efficiently and with less mess, giving us the perfect base for a long-lasting finish. Not every painting company takes on this type of work — it requires patience, experience, and the right equipment.
