About Delso Painting
Family owned and operated since 2007, delivering quality painting services across the South Coast and beyond.
Our Story
Delso Painting Pty Ltd was established in July 2007 with a simple mission: to provide exceptional painting services with a focus on quality workmanship and customer satisfaction.
With over 25 years of industry experience, owner Chris O'Sullivan brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to every project. What started as a local painting business in the Bega Valley has grown to serve communities across the South Coast, Snowy Mountains, Victoria border, and ACT region.
Our commitment to "Enjoying the Quality" isn't just a tagline - it's the standard we hold ourselves to on every job, whether it's a single room refresh or a complete commercial repaint.
Meet Chris "Doss" O'Sullivan
Owner & Lead Painter
Chris - known to friends and clients as "Doss" - brings more than 25 years of hands-on experience in the painting industry. His journey began with a traditional apprenticeship, learning the fundamentals of the trade from experienced craftsmen who instilled in him a respect for proper preparation and quality workmanship.
After years of honing his skills across a diverse range of projects, Chris established Delso Painting in July 2007 with a clear mission: to provide painting services where quality isn't compromised. The name "Delso" reflects his commitment to delivering excellence on every job, regardless of size.
"Every property tells a story. My job is to help preserve and enhance that story through quality painting that stands the test of time."
- Chris O'Sullivan
