Conley’s Painting and Decorating

Conley’s Painting and Decorating is family business led by Tony Conley who has had a wealth of experience painting and decorating properties throughout the Marlborough area.

“I have been fortunate to have had years of experience in all aspects of interior and exterior painting,” he says.

“I always wanted to have my own business and although I have worked on many new homes, I particularly enjoy the process of bringing old houses back to life and giving them a fresh new look.”

Tony’s father Stephen, wife Kylie-Anne and stepson Levi are all available to step in as required to help with larger projects.

“It is great to have my family onboard and allows us to tackle a variety of projects including commercial ones such as schools,” he says.

“No matter what the type of painting and decorating task required, nothing gives us more satisfaction than ensuring the best possible preparation which includes house washing and water blasting if needed before going on to produce the highest quality paint finish possible.
