Meet Marc
"Hi, my name’s Marc! I’m the founder of MDC Decorating Specialists Pty Ltd, an accomplished family business who services the Sunny Gold Coast."
While our roots have settled on the coast, we weren’t always around. The business actually originated in the UK, after I honed my skills spending 21 years in the painting industry. That’s a lot of painting experience! It may seem like all painters have the same thing to offer. We paint.
But make no mistake, from our UK roots to now, we rise to the challenge of taking on any and all painting jobs. Whether it be exterior or interior, big, small or even just a mark on the wall, you can trust that we will approach it with passion and the goal to do the best job possible.
Exceeding customer expectations and holding close the values that began this journey to where it is now, is what sets us apart. I look forward to working with you to help achieve your painting needs.

I contacted Marc to gain a quote, and told him the urgency of the matter. Marc immediately responded with what I needed as fast as he could even though he was in the midst of a painting job. This was truly commendable seeing I rang out of the blue, Marc the owner of this Business' communication was second to none, so I thought I would share this with Everyone who may consider a Painter with a fantastic customer service mindset.

Marc and his crew were awesome. From start to finish it was no hassle, and the pricing was great. Fixed up all my issues and explained what was the cause for all the paint peeling off. 10/10 to them.

This was my second time using MDC Decorating Specialists and, like the first time, I was very impressed with the excellent work they did. Marc and his team were professional, arriving on time and finishing the job when promised. They completed painting several interior walls and my timber boundary fence. Their attention to detail and their workmanship was top notch, and they left my property clean and hazard free at the end of each work day. I had a fantastic experience with Marc and his friendly team and they made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I am more than happy to recommend this business and will definitely be using them again in the future.

I could not be more pleased wth the job that was done by MDC. The preparation work was so impressive and thorough and I have never seen painters take that much trouble prepping before. The finished paint work is perfection. I can highly recommend them for a top job.

Recent paint work at my home by MDC team was absolutely stunning. Was very impressed by the workmanship and extremely pleased with the final product i.e. the house looks many many years younger! Can highly recommend MDC for your next paint job (large or small). 6 stars out of 5. 🙂

Marc and his crew delivered one of the most professional painting jobs we have seen (and we've spent a lifetime renovating and building homes). They exceeded our every expectation: Very neat job, looks fantastic and done at a reasonable price. They did everything they undertook to do and their agreed timing was very helpful to us - we left the apartment in their care while we travelled interstate. Great effort, organization and execution. Cannot speak highly enough of these guys!
