Dear Krissie and Gordie,
Please find attached my review for your beautiful gilding service.
To Whom It May Concern,
In 2022 I engaged Krissie from Precious Wall Finishes to gild the interior of my apartment in Sydney.
My apartment is located in a 100+ year old building. Krissie gilded the picture rails and wall air vents. Usually these features are overlooked, but now I cannot describe how these elements have transformed my plain-looking space to a grand one, consistent with the historic nature of my building. It really is quite remarkable!
Krissie is a hard-working and very tidy worker. Her enthusiasm and passion for her craft is obvious. She takes great pains to create beauty in the world.
I found the financial outlay for her services very reasonable.
I am very happy to recommend her to anyone who enjoys luxurious living.

Without a doubt, I highly recommend the Precious-Wall-Finishes painting business for the work Krissie and Gordon carried out by painting the entire exterior of my house.
Their work exudes finesse and professionalism. The work was done in the time frame agreed upon before commencing the assignment, with no delays, and no mess during and after the project was completed.
Krissie was exceptional in providing choices and advice on what was best for the work I needed, she listened and gave me the impression that for her painting is not only a trade but a passion.
The result showed the super quality of their craft.
Thank you Krissie and Gordon for your wonderful work.
Kind regards

I want to give a big shout out to Krissie from Precious Wall Finishes who’s just finished painting our pretty challenging pole house. Krissie and her little team were an absolute joy to have around and continually found creative solutions to get the job done professionally and quickly. We couldn’t be happier with the results. I highly recommend Krissie for any painting job, big or small.

It is not often you come across such an enthusiastic tradesperson but Krissie Kalteis from Precious Wall Finishes is one. Krissie’s attention to detail and commitment to the work is amazing. I was so impressed with her kwork ethics. Other people had tried to change my colour scheme but not Krissie, she embraced the idea and completed the work quickly and efficiently.
I would highly recommended Precious Wall Finishes for any painting requirements

Hi Krissie,
We were lucky to engage Krissie to paint the interior and exterior of our house as part of our renovation project in Copacabana. Krissie is a very talented painter who truly exceeded our expectations with her work ethic and exceptional painting skills. From start to finish the work was of the highest quality. Her dedication to the work and attention to detail were evident throughout the project. She was professional, reliable and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure everything was completed on time and to highest quality.

Hi Krissie.
We were so pleased with the work Krissie did for us, from the advice on colour choice and finishes, to the samples, to how easy Krissie was to deal with, to the amazing finished product. We loved how Krissie worked with us to get the perfect finish. When we come up the stairs and see our new feature wall, it always leaves a smile on our faces.

Hi Krissie,
I just wanted to send my sincere thanks for the recent job you carried out painting the interior of my home.
From our first conversation I knew I had met the person I wanted to paint my house! The colour consultation was great and you were very accommodating and even encouraging of my changing whims with regards to colour choice.
Your positivity, enthusiasm and "can-do" attitude, coupled with your experience, creativity and skill led to an amazing outcome for me. You worked quickly and efficiently around my mess and the fact I work from home. I would barely notice you were there most days if I didn't come and interrupt you for some conversation!
The house now looks better than I could have imagined and I couldn't be happier with it! It has drawn a lot of compliments from friends and family too, especially around the high quality finish of the job.
Overall I'd highly recommend you to anyone looking for a painter or colour consultant, especially those looking for a painter who is creative and expressive in her work, and not afraid of a challenge.
So once again a huge thank you to both you and Alyssa. Feel free to use this email as a review/reference and I look forward to working with you again soon!
Cheers

Testimonial -
We are forever grateful to our friends for recommending Krissie to us.
Her professionalism, design ideas, workmanship and attitude are outstanding and has greatly contributed to our successful renovation projects.
In particular, Krissie suggested the most amazing finish to a feature wall and it is a talking piece with visitors. Stunning!
We have and would be very happy to recommend Krissie to anyone wanting to finish their painting or renovation project successfully and to a very high standard.
Thank you Krissie.

“Krissie Kalteis was a core contributor to the installation of the Light and the Ground, demonstrating a strong work ethic and high level of skill throughout the project. Her professional gilding knowledge and understanding of surface preparation, painting and building skills complimented the project perfectly, and along with her uplifting presence and co-operative nature played an integral role in the successful realisation of the work.”
“Hi Krissie,
Thank you very much for the excellent painting work you did for me in June 2012
My restaurant customers have admired the contrast in paint you selected for the walls, ceiling and door frames.
I will always appreciate your dedication & professional approach to your work”
“I Employed Krissie Kalteis as a painter for over a year on many different projects both commercial and domestic.
She displayed great professional expertise and takes a lot of pride in her work. She also worked well as a team manager when I was away overseas on numerous occasions. Very reliable and punctual. She has good customer relationship skills and often ran and worked alone on jobs where the costumers and builders were highly satisfied with her work.”
“Dear Krissie,
This letter is to compliment you on the works you did on our residential units in Coolalinga NT whilst working with ‘EFA DÉCOR”.
As a site manager for a large construction company I have seen many painters come and go and was delighted to see a female team take a go at a large commercial project. Your works were completed well within the time frames given and I know that Efa, your employer at the time speaks very highly of you as well as I. She did inform me that she employed you as a contractor from March 2014 to April 2015.
Over the four month period that you worked our Gwelo Developments project , the standard of works that you performed as a painter on over twenty five apartments was excellent. You were able to cover all aspects of the job with precision and advise your co-workers also. This is a quality that is rarely found. Most importantly on projects of this scale is punctuality in which you never let us down.”
“We have had the pleasure of having Krissie Kalteis stay and work with us at Laudham Park in Townsville. During this time Krissie has been a conscientious and diligent worker who takes pride in her work. She has a cherry disposition and often her laughter could be heard around the property. Krissie showed excellent skills at painting.”
“Thanks Krissie Kalteis for creating some magic for me. Annointing 24k Gold on this Crystal Pyramid.”
