THE CPL DIFFERENCE
Commercial Painting Limited are specialists in professional painting, washing and ongoing paint maintenance across all interior and exterior surfaces. We deliver high-quality services for commercial buildings, education facilities, retirement living, body corporates, industrial sites, and healthcare environments.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS MATTER
From our first day on site, professionalism is non-negotiable. Our team arrives on time, in clean and tidy CPL uniforms, with clear site signage and a structured work plan. We take pride in presenting ourselves professionally, maintaining organised work zones, and delivering a consistent, high standard of workmanship throughout every stage of the project.
SITE CLEANLINESS & DAILY COMPLETION STANDARDS
We believe how we leave a site each day reflects the quality of our work. Tools are securely packed away, waste is removed and disposed of responsibly, and all areas worked on are thoroughly checked and touched up. This disciplined approach ensures your site remains safe, tidy, and presentable at all times.
RESPECTFUL SITE BEHAVIOUR & COMMUNICATION
Our team operates with professionalism, respect, and consideration for all occupants. We maintain clear communication with clients and tenants, keeping everyone informed of progress and upcoming work. Respectful conduct is a core CPL value, ensuring a positive experience for all stakeholders.

OUR HISTORY
2017
Company Founded
Commercial Painting Limited was officially incorporated in 2017, marking the beginning of our journey as a trusted commercial painting contractor. Our first major clients included Manson TCLM, Portal Asset Management, Colliers NZ, Oyster Group, and Acacia Cove Retirement Village. During this first year, we also completed painting projects across three large schools and grew our team to seven full time painters.
2018
Schools and National Clients
In 2018, Commercial Painting Limited expanded into large scale school maintenance programmes, working with more than 20 schools across scheduled washing and painting plans. Our team assessed and measured buildings to support long term, planned maintenance strategies. This year also marked growth into national commercial painting contracts, including multiple sites for New World Supermarkets, St John Ambulance, and Audika Hearing.
2019
Shopping Mall Upgrades
2019 was a year of consistent growth driven by major shopping mall upgrades throughout the North Island. Commercial Painting Limited delivered large scale retail painting projects across new and refurbished malls, completing painting work for more than 100 individual retail stores. Our ability to work efficiently in live environments strengthened our reputation as a reliable commercial painting contractor for retail, body corporate, and property management clients.
2020
Operating Through Covid
When Covid arrived in 2020, Commercial Painting Limited adapted quickly to new health and safety requirements. Mask wearing, strict hygiene protocols, tool cleaning, and staff health monitoring became standard practice. Our commitment to safety ensured uninterrupted trust from our clients. As shopping mall upgrades slowed, we secured new contracts with emerging leaders in the repairs and maintenance sector, helping stabilise workflows during an uncertain period.
2021
Five Years Strong
Entering our fifth year, Commercial Painting Limited was supported by a loyal team and long standing client base. Despite ongoing Covid disruptions and challenging weather conditions, demand for commercial painting increased as property owners used closures and remote working periods to upgrade buildings. Our team worked flexibly to manage delays while maintaining quality, safety, and delivery across commercial, retail, and industrial painting projects.
2022
Landmark Projects
In 2022, Commercial Painting Limited completed one of its most significant projects to date, the full interior and exterior repaint of Huia House on Grafton Road. This former hospital, converted into university accommodation, required painting across 11 storeys including 440 bedroom doors, corridors, stairwells, common areas, and amenities. Our team also collaborated with an artist to paint a full height mural across the north facing elevation.
2023
CPL Paints Hilton Hotel Auckland
Following years of ongoing maintenance work, Commercial Painting Limited was selected as the preferred contractor for the full exterior repaint of the Hilton Hotel Auckland. This project reflected the strength of long term relationships, proven quality, and trust developed through consistent delivery of high traffic commercial painting and maintenance services.
2024
Strength in a Tough Market
A challenging year across the construction and painting industry, with the recession impacting building activity. As new construction slowed, the market became increasingly competitive, with a surplus of painting contractors competing for limited work. Commercial Painting Limited remained consistently busy throughout this period, supported by our strong reputation, loyal client base, and ongoing commercial painting and maintenance projects across multiple sectors.
