SEAB Painting expands in Auckland, adding commercial maintenance and residential services amid New Zealand’s shifting construction market.

SEAB Painting, a certified Auckland-based firm, has expanded into commercial maintenance, offering Rust-Oleum Noxyde coatings for anti-corrosion and waterproofing on roofs, including safe asbestos encapsulation with minimal prep. This move reflects a broader industry shift in New Zealand, where the painting sector is projected to reach $2 billion in 2025–26, driven by non-residential construction as residential activity slows. The company now provides residential services like interior painting, drywall work, and color consultation, backed by a satisfaction guarantee, adapting to steady 1.7% annual growth by diversifying across both markets.
