What our customers are saying

8 Whiting Avenue
“We chose Higgins not based on price, moreover by the professional way that they conduct themselves. From the original quotation from the sales consultant through to offering free colour consultant service, which was not offered by the other companies. The work was carried out with the finest detail. We are extremely happy with the finished job, and finally on the last day Higgins sent a painter to walk around with us to make sure everything was perfect. We will use Higgins for all future work. It was a very professional job by a very professional team.”

“Ramsay Health Care needed to improve the look of the exterior of our Hospital as it was in a bad state. We met with the Higgins team and from day one we were impressed with their professionalism and ability to provide the best outcome for our Hospital. Their painters were friendly, and the job ran smoothly and on time. We would use them over and over again for our painting needs. Thanks to the Higgins team. Great work.”

“We approached Higgins with a project brief to recoat some external façade on our asset that was located above an operational loading dock and pedestrian entrance. Higgins successfully developed and implemented a project methodology that provided both a safe work area and zero impact to our daily operations. The end product achieved the brief on time and on budget and looks great too! Thank you, Higgins.”
