ABOUT My name is Attila, and I am owner-operator of The 3rd Coat, a Melbourne based plastering, painting and maintenance business. At the moment it is a one-man-band, to ensure consistent quality of workmanship in all projects. Being a one-man band allows me to keep my high standards even when the market doesn't pay for it. A company of employees would not be able to afford (or willing) to do this, as the business owner would be losing money. I have a degree in international economics, but a few years ago when I moved from Hungary to New Zealand I decided that working with my hands, and especially the thorough approach, varied trade skills and patience required in painting, suited me better than the work I used to do. Was employed as maintenance person in a hotel in New Zealand for years, my job included renovating rooms from wallpaper removal to skim-coating, plaster repairs and painting. I was also responsible for all maintenance works in the hotel, from plumbing to furniture repairs and supervised electrical maintenance. After a few years I moved to Australia for better opportunities. Worked for a body corporate painting company on projects of various sizes, mainly exteriors. Fascias, gutters, eaves, doors, windows, masonry walls etc. Gained formal qualifications as a painter and decorator. Eventually I started my own business and it has been growing steadily, mainly through word of mouth referrals. I am currently based in the Whitehorse region, and am happy to service the near Eastern suburbs but will travel to other areas, depending on project size. My business is covered with public liability insurance and I have an Elevated Work Platform licence and extensive experience in working off such equipment. Well-versed in water damage remedial works, stain blocking, plastering, rot repairs, replacing sections of spouting and fascia and other repair tasks.
