In 1970 Angelo immigrated to Australia where he was introduced to larger range and of higher quality paints which allowed him to take the painting to a higher level.

During the 80’s Angelo would take his son Tas to work with him on the weekends and the school holidays, teaching Tas strict work ethics and the skills Angelo had acquired over the years.

By the early 90’s Tas gained enough experience to join Angelo on a full time basis forming a father and son team. Together they focused on private and domestic work mainly in the western suburbs with a clientele consisting of Greek origin. Later they were offered work on estate package homes, where a new job was started on a weekly basis and then eventually moving onto painting large numbers of estate homes for builders and developers.

This period was a very crucial time for both Angelo and Tas as Tas began to take the business once again to a higher level that challenge has brought them to where they are today. Now specialising in the high level of finishes. Tas’s constant determination of studying efficient systematic approaches and technique in achieving outstanding finishes which exceed the market expectation.

From the west they moved their work to the eastern suburbs where they found greater and more exciting challenges. It was evident that there was a gap in the market for painters qualified in high standard finishes and with their team of experienced painters they were able to service the gap.

Today they can offer exceptional level of finishes ranging from good finish to very high level of finishes and finally to mirror finish level. Not only new skills and techniques have been developed but greater quality of tools and paints are available. Silaforts also promote non toxic paints with low VOC (volatile organic compound) which can provide as alternatives to normal domestic paint which release toxins.

With changes to our environment Silaforts are constantly researching better and safer products to have available to their clients. The benefits to health and to the environment for both clients and painters are taken very seriously. Biodegradable products are available as we try to minimise he damage to our natural environment.

Specialising in such high standards Silaforts are committed to their team of painters, their clients and the environment. This is demonstrated in the many award wining homes they have been involved in.
