Built on Experience,
Strengthened by Vision
Paintworks has been part of Osborne Park’s trade landscape for over three decades. Built on strong relationships and practical expertise, it has supported generations of painters and builders with reliable advice and deep product knowledge.
Much of that reputation was shaped under Joe, the long-time owner of the business, who became a trusted figure in the local trade community. His focus on service, product understanding, and consistency helped establish Paintworks as a go-to destination for professionals and homeowners alike.
That legacy, now supported by the strength of the Kardan. The transition brings increased buying power and broader industry insight, while preserving the personal service and local knowledge that has always defined the store.
This is not a new business starting from scratch. It is an established business continuing its evolution with purpose; retaining what made it trusted, while strengthening what it can offer into the future.
Now Part of Kardan
EXPERIENCE THAT GOES BEYOND THE COUNTER
Paintworks is now part of a broader network of specialist trade and construction businesses, including Kardan Construction, Kardan Glassworks, Kardan Direct, and Kardan Landscaping.
This connection matters because it ensures the advice provided is grounded in real construction experience. The team understands specifications, compliance, and the practical realities of site work through direct involvement in projects across Western Australia.
Co-founder Frank Mitchell has also been nationally recognised as Australian of the Year – Local Hero for his work in training and employing Aboriginal people, women in construction, and other underrepresented groups within the industry.
Supporting Paintworks means supporting a business connected to real project delivery and committed to creating long-term impact through employment, training, and industry opportunity.
