Mosman home takes out prestigious award
Local company, Courtney & Wise was awarded one of the painting industry’s top accolades when it recently took out a 2006 Master Painters Award for Excellence. The Federation residence in Raglan Street received top prize in the highly coveted and prestigious category of ‘domestic repaint over $20,000’. According to the judges the project was undertaken with, “great attention to prepaint preparation, with exceptionally neat cut lines and application of coatings with difficult access in some areas.” Michael Peters accepted the award on behalf of Courtney & Wise, a family business operating on the North Shore since 1954. Michael is a second generation, trade qualified painter and personally supervised all aspects of the project. Despite a long association with the Master Painters Association, this was the first time Courtney & Wise had submitted an entry in the competition. “This acknowledgement by our peers is a fantastic endorsement of the 50 years of mastery and commitment to painting excellence that our company prides itself on” says Michael. In describing how Courtney & Wise approached the project, Michael goes on to say “having not been painted for some time, our clients wanted a first class exterior makeover of an already prestigious home. We wanted to be true to the property, so a colour scheme was selected which highlighted its traditional Federation features, while taking into account a modern extension to the rear. Due to its harbour proximity, the preparation had to be meticulous yet robust enough to ensure that all coatings would withstand the pressures associated with its location. We also had to overcome a number of other challenges including difficult height and access issues, all addressed to comply with OH&S requirements. In the end, nothing was compromised and we delivered a quality job that our company is renowned for. But this was only made possible by having clients who were equally committed to receiving nothing short of the best possible painting job.” For more information, contact Michael Peters on 9958 1099. |
