meet the team
Landmark Homes franchise co-owner Steven Painter is passionate about building beautiful homes. And with 20 years of building experience, he knows what he’s doing.
Originally from Hawke's Bay, Steven entered a building apprenticeship straight after high school. He then moved to Taupō to build his parents’ home and never left—and his parents are still in that home! After running his own building company for several years, Steven and co-owner Gerry Schumacher teamed up to take on the Taupō franchise. Gerry is also the customer service side of the franchise. An accountant and the former business development manager for Landmark Homes NZ, he’s an expert on budgeting and planning.
“Being an experienced builder definitely helps you understand the risks around key areas, and that’s important when you’re speaking to clients,” he says. “I take them through the process, right from the design stage, and tell them what works.” Whoever bowls into their Taupō office can expect a smile, a happy vibe, and a positive experience.
