About us

Husband and Wife team, Shayne and Elaine Varacalli, are the owners and operators of the family business which was established back in 1956 by Shayne’s Father, Bruno Varacalli.

Shayne started his Apprenticeship in Painting and Decorating in 1982 and completed his studies at TAFE in Gilles Plains. Having spent his entire career in the painting and building trade he has an abundance of knowledge he’s always willing to share.

In late 2019, after 36 years, the business relocated from Norwood to Magill.

“Our philosophy is not to be the biggest painting company but to be the one people think of first to do the best job possible.”
