About us

R.E. Martin Painting & Decorating Service is an owner-operated, trade-qualified painting business specialising exclusively in residential homes. Based in the Barossa Valley, we focus on delivering high-quality workmanship for homeowners who value attention to detail, clear communication, and a professional finish.

 

We provide a full range of residential painting services, including interior and exterior painting, thorough surface preparation and repairs, decorative finishes, wallpaper installation, spray finishes, and professional colour consultation. Preparation is the foundation of every job we do, ensuring long-lasting results and a finish that truly elevates your home.

 

 

 

Hi, I’m Ruben Martin, the owner and operator behind the business. With 30+ years of hands-on experience as a trade-qualified residential painter, I work directly with homeowners on small to medium domestic projects. Being owner-operated means you deal with me personally from the first consultation through to the final walkthrough — no subcontractors, no handovers, and no shortcuts.

 

This hands-on approach allows for greater consistency, better quality control, and genuine accountability. With lower overheads than larger companies, we’re able to offer better value while still maintaining high standards of workmanship and materials.

 

We respect your home as if it were our own, working cleanly, safely, and with minimal disruption. Fully insured and compliant with safety standards, we pride ourselves on offering honest advice, reliable service, and finishes we’re proud to stand behind.

 

At R.E. Martin Painting & Decorating Service, our reputation is built on trust, craftsmanship, and results that speak for themselves.
