About Myself and My Company

I began my apprenticeship 38 years ago in my fathers painting business in Perth, Western Australia when ‘rollers’ and ‘no-more-gaps’ were inventions of the future. I was one of three apprentices in W.A. nominated for a Bursary Award in 1974.

A few years later I started up my own company with one of the other nominees. In 1981 I came over to the East Coast to get married and have a working holiday; that was 24 years ago.

James W Decorating was registered as a business in Queensland in 1986, starting from a one-man operation to a team of eight. I am now training my forth apprentice and hopefully will train a few more in the coming years. The company has built up an excellent reputation for quality and efficiency and my clients are always commenting on how pleased they are with my staff.

I have been a Dulux Accredited Painter since it’s inception in 2002 and I have been using Dulux paint since my apprenticeship days. I had tried other brands on occasions in the early years of my business but I always came back to the Dulux brand because of the high quality of their products. I feel my clients deserve the best and believe quality should never be sacrificed and should come as standard not as an extra.
