John

John has been Painting for over 40 years, and in that time has developed a great understanding of what is required to achieve a great finish that last and also what is needed to ensure our projects run seamlessly as possible. Learning his trade in Ireland he then worked in the uk before moving back home and creating a buisness of his own. Living in Christchurch since 2012, John established Curtin painting and decorating in 2016 with Sean soon joining him.

Sean
Founder
Sean's journey in painting started in his school holidays when he would work for his father John. By 16 he decided he wanted to sign up for his apprenticeship and once qualified headed to Australia on a O E of sorts. Over the 2 years traveling down the east coast Sean worked for different painters always learning new and different ways to achieve a quality finish. In 2012 Sean moved to Christchurch and quickly settled into life here, joining Curtin Painters and Decorators soon after being established.
