Our Story
Reuben Ellis began his painting and decorating career under the guidance of his father, Clayton Ellis, gaining hands-on experience from an early age. His deep involvement in the trade fostered a passion for craftsmanship and attention to detail that defines his work today.
By age 20, Reuben was managing major commercial and residential projects that went on to achieve Master Painter Gold Awards. His leadership on these award-winning projects reflects a proven standard of excellence recognised throughout the New Zealand painting industry.
With over a decade of experience, Reuben founded Reuben Ellis Decorating to deliver the same high standards of quality, professionalism, and care that have shaped his career. The company continues to uphold Canterbury’s tradition of craftsmanship and trusted service.
