A Selection Of Our Customer Testimonies

Stirling Hospital

Painting Testimony

“Hi Gary, I am writing to thank you for the exceptional job you did painting our residents rooms at Andrewartha Aged Care. It is not often that a company exceeds expectations, however you and your company did just that. Your professionalism, quality workmanship and desire for complete customer satisfaction are very impressive. You were always punctual and courteous and have an excellent eye for detail. It was great to have met you and we look forward to using your services again.” Kind regards, Jennie Cameron, CEO/Director of Nursing.

Tower House

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

I have pleasure in recommending Mr Gary Lancaster as an outstanding artist and craftsman in the field of faux marble.

There are six fireplace surrounds in Tower House which are made of Carrara marble and one such made of intricately carved slate. Mr Lancaster has treated the slate mantelpiece and pilasters so cleverly and artistically that they are now indistinguishable from those made from Italian marble. In fact, so expertly has the conversion been effectuated that the faux marble fireplace, because of the intricacy of its mouldings, now looks superior to the fireplaces in most of the other rooms.

In addition to his extraordinary creative skills Mr Lancaster is a student of heritage craftsmanship, and he brings to his work a broad and deep knowledge of the various crafts which have contributed to the South Australian architectural tradition.

I was impressed by the fact that Mr Lancaster was able to offer a firm quotation for the work that was required, together with exact dates for the commencement and completion of the work. These guarantees were scrupulously adhered to.

My experience of Gary Lancaster’s work is limited to this single article; but based upon that experience, I have confidence in recommending him as a superb craftsman who is both artistic and knowledgeable, and who adheres firmly to ethical principles.

David & Robin Bradley

“We have recently had Gary Lancaster come to our home to paint our sash windows along with rendered surroundings. It was ten years since the windows and rendering were last painted, and they were in a somewhat sad state.

In all our years of having domestic contractors work for us, we have never had anyone whose painstaking attention to detail has been so thorough.

Gary’s bubbly sense of humour has obviously stood him in good stead through what has been a very demanding and challenging three weeks of remedial paintwork.

We would happily recommend Gary and his team to anyone looking for a complete and excellent decorating and refurbishment job completed in a professional and tidy fashion.

Sincerely

David and Robin Bradley

Hon C. J. Sumner & Suzanne Roux

“Gary and Geoffrey offered creative suggestions and painted samples of their suggestions on our wall and ceilings so that we could clearly visualize their suggestions. The result is that our home is beautifully decorated maintaining our desire for a light and open ambience but at the same time reflecting the heritage of our home…Gary and Geoff displayed an enthusiasm and commitment to achieving an excellent quality of work. Their knowledge and skill and understanding of the many different painting methods and finishes has opened our eyes to what can be achieved by skilled artisans.” You can see the full project with the full testimony, photos and information of the work, Thank you.

Payneham Road Uniting Church

“Payneham Road Uniting Church engaged Gary Lancaster to redecorate the interior of its worship chapel during February-March 2013… While we provided an outline of our requirements, Gary’s background and experience brought to our notice a number of features which, when highlighted, added considerably to the overall impact on the décor… The employees engaged by Gary were always cooperative, industrious and of good value. In particular we appreciated the care taken in repairing and modifying damaged features and the overall cleaning of the chapel and its contents…” Read more of Payneham Road Church Testimony.

Church of the Sacred Heart

“Gary and his team did an excellent job, and were committed to doing their very best. Since the completion of the painting we have had a constant stream of praise for the work. It has transformed the look of the church. Previously it was painted a drab cement colour. It now has a much more pleasant, warmer feel to it, and many of its features have been enhanced by the colours they have been painted.” Father Brian Angus.

Mr Ian Hamer

Reference: Gary Lancaster

Gary Lancaster worked as a painter and decorator on our heritage (Victorian) home in North Adelaide during 2021 – 2023.

He was always polite, punctual, reliable and provided clear quotations for his work, accompanied by a contract.

He has extensive experience and deep knowledge of authentic design and colours appropriate for historical properties of different eras. He is skilled at faux marbling, wood graining and wall paper choice and application. He was willing to share his understanding and experience with us in a generous and helpful way.

The end result is a beautiful home, evidenced by the accompanying photographs.

If you are looking for a genuine and skilled craftsman to provide advice and practical workmanship, we recommend him.

Tranmere House Painting Testimony

I had Lancaster Painters Australia paint the inside and outside of my house. They did a brilliant job! They spent a lot of time preparing the surfaces thoroughly before applying the paint. They are so friendly and courteous. It impressed me that they clean up so thoroughly after each day. They turned up on time when they said they would come. The information they gave me about how to proceed helped a lot and they really listened to what I wanted. I am pleased with the outcome. They also painted some artwork for me on one of my inside walls to make it look like the room opens up out to a beautiful garden setting. Everyone who visits comments on the artwork. Living in a transportable house, they also painted some fake brickwork to the bottom section of the front of my house. People passing by think I’m living in a brick house. The painted brick effect looks so real! I would recommend Lancaster Painters Australia to anyone wanting to paint their house.

To Whom it may concern,

I would like to express my support for Gary Lancaster to obtain an international fellowship in the trade of PAINTING AND DECORATING, specifically DECORATIVE PAINT FINISHES.

I am a Lecturer for TAFESA in the trade and Have been involved teaching in this subject to apprentices for many years.

Changes that have been made to our training packages which stipulate what is taught to apprentices and cut backs in government funding restrict lecturers to what can be done in our environment teaching decorative finishes.

Many of the lecturers including myself who have the ability to teach these skills have retired or are close to retirement.

I have known Gary Lancaster for 25 years.

Gary has always had a great passion and love of Decorative Paint Finishes and has proven this in his business.

He always strives for quality and excellence and wants to continually improve.

Gary like myself knows you can always learn more.

Without People in Industry maintaining these skills they will be lost.

Gary is also passionate about TRAINING and passing these skills on to other TRADIES.

He has proven via his current business that there is a need for these skills and that if you strive for excellence he can teach other painting contractors the benefits of pursuing them in their careers.

I am 100% positive Gary will use the experience gained from this fellowship to benefit others by passing on his passion and new skills obtained.

Yours sincerely,

Steven Baliga
