About Us

Dedicated to Excellence in Painting & Roofing
Kia ora — I'm Nik, the proud face behind Apex Painting & Roof Care.
Born and bred right here in Tauranga, I’m a hardworking family man who deeply values the place I call home. The photo? That’s me with my amazing wife and son at Mount Maunganui beach where i grew up — a spot that represents everything I care about: family, community, and the beauty of the Bay of Plenty.
Like many Kiwis, i realized at a young age i was more a "hands on" person. I left school at 15 to dive headfirst into the trades, starting my roofing apprenticeship the old-school way — hands-on, rain or shine, learning from the ground up. By 25, after close to a decade of honing my roofing skills, I expanded into painting to expand my skillset. Ten years on, I’ve built Apex Painting & Roof care with one clear goal: to deliver honest, reliable, high-quality painting & roofing repairs & restorations that stand the test of time, look great and more importantly - Do not break your bank.
Whether it’s a full exterior restoration, a revamp of the color scheme in the tired looking kitchen, or small repairs roof repairs that prevent big problems — I treat every project like it’s my own. No shortcuts. No surprises. Just solid, dependable work by someone who genuinely cares.
Apex isn’t some faceless company — it’s me, my hands, my standards, and my reputation. And when you hire Apex, you're supporting a local who’s proud to give back to this community through hard work and quality craftsmanship.
I am a man who lives by principles and ethics, i would rather take the extra time to make sure something is done right, than take a shortcut for a quick and easy solution, This is the cornerstone of how i live my adult life, and that translates into my work completely. Id love to help you with your next project.
Thanks for stopping by — Please don't hesitate to reach out.

What Our Clients Say About Us
Happy with the job Nik and his team completed at my home in Omokoroa, I have an old 1950s stye house and i just wasnt expecting it to come out as good as it did. Admittedly, i gave him a little bit of a runaround at the end of the job with little touch ups i wanted done, but nik seemed to remain composed under pressure despite his heavy workload. He even came back on a sunday to get everything finished off to make sure i was happy, a trait you just dont see in painters these days. Cheers Nik.
Mike Dunstan pyes paFrom start to finish, the quality was outstanding. Nik took the time from his initial site visit to explain the whole process to us so we knew exactly where our money was going, and we didnt see him even take a break tthe whole time he was at our house. Very hardworking.
Ella Thompson PapamoaApex Painting & Roof Care delivered beyond what we imagined and we couldn't be happier. Nik and his team powered through some rough weather during the week he was at our home, i was impressed with his on job tidiness. He made sure he had a big cleanup at the end of each day as we have 3 kids who like to run amuck. One thing that really blew us away was how communicative he was, even if he was running 5 minutes late he would send us a text to let us know. Most other contractors we have had just show up whenever and barely answer their phones but that wasn't the case with Nik, he gave us peace of mind. Thanks so much Nik. We will use you again in the future.
David & Irene Martin ( Tay Street) Real Estate AgentNik did a fantastic job re painting our house, we were impressed with his communication and his attention to detail, we had a list of small areas that we wanted touched up as an extra on top of what he had quoted, but when we mentioned it to him. He had already gone ahead and did them and told us he wasn't going to charge us extra! Great guy!

We had a really bad roof leak that other contractors just couldn't seem to be able to fix. Nik came in and within an hour had found the leak, patched it up, and then came back the next week to do the work to fix it permanently. Very fairly priced compared to other contractors.
