David and his team did a fantastic job painting an ageing two-storey, five bedroom Dover Heights house, inside and out, within a tight three week deadline. Our client, Pravin Sundarjee, was delighted and we subsequently sold the house for him above market expectations. Mark Goldman, Goldman Bros, Sydney Sotheby’s International Realty. Thank you for a brilliant job! Pravin Sundarjee.
We are really pleased with the work David did for us at our apartment in Woollahra repairing hairline cracks and making our walls and ceilings perfect. He also did masterly touch-ups of our architraves and other trim after we had installed new shelving in our kitchen and dining area and after we had lowered our bedroom floors. He always arrived promptly and left the place spotless. Nick and Judy Whitlam.
David has been the go-to painter for our apartments and restaurant at Watsons Bay. He and his assistants at Pelican Painting have meticulously handled everything from roof painting, to treating and painting external rusted structural beams, to rectifying water-damaged walls and ceilings. His repairs and finishes are always first class. Manoli and Peter Tressos, Barnstaple Holdings.
We recently bought a dilapidated four-bedroom Edwardian house in Coogee. David and his colleagues were able to skilfully deal with the wall and ceiling plaster repairs, the old water stains, and the damaged timber work. David then beautifully painted each room to the colourist’s specifications. It’s worth mentioning all this work was diligently and carefully executed after we had had the floors sanded/coated and while we were living in the house. Nadine Flood.
David has done extensive strata maintenance and painting works for our building overlooking Bondi Beach. This includes work on our front fence and gate, replacing and painting part of our entrance foyer ceiling, and issues related to the moist and salty air such as treating and painting fifteen garage doors and repainting the faded lettering on all our safety and security signs. His professionalism and personable nature has led to invitations to do further work inside individual apartments. He does an excellent job! Lesley Brydon, Strata Committee Secretary, Mornington.
David was part of our team in Paris in 2006 which delivered the Australian Indigenous Art Commission components seen in the architectural fabric of Jean Nouvel’s Musee du Quai Branly. David has also painted for us on several projects in Sydney. He demonstrates the same attention to detail that we admired in his father, the seminal twentieth century architect and designer, Bill Lucas. Peter Longergan, Cracknell and Lonergan Architects.
David has worked on numerous high end Eastern Suburbs jobs for us. All his work was finished to the highest of quality. We will always recommend him for future works. Glen Wright, Managing Director, IBW Constructions.
David Lucas has worked on many and varied projects with me at Aranac Contracting over the last ten years. He has carried out work from heritage remedial repairs to quoted and finished high end residential new works, including timber staining and finishing of all varieties. I have personally recommended David to private clients a number of times and have always had positive comments from all. Daniel Cassin, Construction Manager, Aranac Contracting.
The new external fire doors in our apartment block got the royal Pelican treatment. Perfection! Justin Buckwell, Buckwell and Partners Architects.
While I was Principal of Bondi Beach Public School, I employed David to paint offices and classrooms. He was very professional and took great pride in his work. He was meticulous in his cleaning up after the painting. Maria Hardy
