About Us
I'm Steve Lunjevich, a highly skilled and experienced painter and decorator born and raised in New Zealand. With over two decades of expertise and a national certificate in painting and decorating — a qualification held by fewer than 20% of painters in New Zealand — I bring an unmatched level of professionalism and craftsmanship to every project.
My journey began at age 17 on a beef farm in Kaitaia, and has since taken me across New Zealand — from foreman roles contributing to Christchurch's post-earthquake rebuild, to working with reputable companies such as Wayne Bowden Painters and Programmed Property Services, where I deepened my knowledge of modern health and safety regulations.
Today, as the owner-operator of Lunjevich Decorators Limited, I've worked on an extraordinary range of projects: state homes, new builds, beach houses, historic and modern mansions, and various commercial and industrial applications. I've also mastered bespoke specialty finishes including antiquing, metallic finishes, crackle effect, whitewash, rust effect, and various French-style techniques.
Beyond painting, I also run several other ventures under the Lunjevich Decorators Limited umbrella — including HMS Developments NZ (digital solutions and app development), BullionTally (a precious metals portfolio tracker), Kiwi Trade Directory, and Steve's Deals. You can learn more about each in the Our Ventures section below.
Committed to safety and professionalism, I hold certifications in First Aid, Elevated Work Platforms (EWP), and Working at Heights. I look forward to discussing how I can bring your vision to life.

What Our Customers Say

“Had Lunjevich Decorators (Steve) paint my roof and was very impressed with the end result. He fixed any damage before painting which was great. The roof was so good I had Steve come back and paint my house which looks fantastic. I am really impressed with the quality and care put into his work and have just had my bathroom, dining and kitchen painted by him.”
