Kathmandu Roof Painting
Trading name of Kathmandu Roof Painting Service · Sydney, NSW
AustralianRoofers Trust Score New
How it's calculated: a transparent, evidence-weighted score — identity & longevity from the public ABN register, reputation from verified Google reviews, and consistency from cross-checking independent platforms. Grades are proportional to the evidence. Where we search the register and can't confirm a business, the identity check scores zero rather than being quietly left out — so a firm we couldn't verify never outranks one we could. Longevity stays unscored in that case, because without a registration date there's nothing to measure.
Our honest take
On the numbers alone, Kathmandu Roof Painting looks about as clean as a small trades business gets: a perfect 5.0 across 170 Google reviews, which is a genuinely big sample for a sole-trader roof-painting outfit and hard to fake at that volume. When we read through the praise, it's consistent rather than scattered — 'professional', 'clean', 'recommend' and 'friendly' come up again and again — and the owner replies to virtually every review, including the short ones, which tells us someone is actively minding the reputation rather than letting it run on autopilot.
We could also verify the firm exists as a real, registered entity. The Australian Business Register lists ABN 95 401 407 188, a NSW sole trader in the name of Krishna Mushyakhow trading as 'Kathmandu Roof Painting Service', active since November 2021 and GST-registered from December 2022. That matches the 'Krish' / 'Kris' named across the reviews, so you're dealing with an identifiable owner-operator, not a faceless call-centre lead-seller. One thing we'll be honest about: the register shows roughly four years of trading, while the firm's own website claims '8 Years of excellence' — that longer figure is the firm's self-claim and isn't something we could confirm on the ABR.
The main thing to weigh up is what this business is and isn't. It's a specialist in roof painting, restoration and cleaning (plus repointing/rebedding, gutter and solar-panel cleaning), not a full structural roofing or emergency-repair contractor — several reviews mention being advised to paint rather than replace, which we think speaks well of their honesty but also tells you the scope is cosmetic-and-protective work, quote-first. It's a small operation too (the firm's site says seven staff), and the whole rating picture rests on Google, with no second independent review source for us to cross-check. If you want a tired tile or metal roof cleaned, sealed and repainted by a well-reviewed, contactable local, this is an easy one to shortlist — just scope the job and quote as you would with any small specialist.

Who you'll actually deal with
Krish (Krishna) — owner-operator
The business is a registered sole trader in the name of Krishna Mushyakhow, and the person named across the reviews and the firm's own testimonials is consistently 'Krish', 'Krishna' or 'Kris' — the same individual. Reviewers describe him as the main point of contact who quotes the work, communicates promptly and manages the crew on site ('Krishna was fantastic to communicate with… His boys worked really hard'), which is the classic owner-operator pattern: one accountable person whose name is effectively the reputation.
He doesn't work alone. Reviews and the firm's site point to a small team — names like Subarna ('Sub') and Chris turn up as the on-the-tools painters, and the website states seven staff. Treat this as a small, tight crew led by a hands-on owner rather than a large company with layers of management: a plus for accountability and consistency, but a reminder that capacity is finite, so booking and scheduling lead times are worth confirming up front.
What clients say
In their own words
Great guyz doing excellent job. Professional advice saved me from spending on replacing the roof by paiting my roof making it look like new.
Really impressed with Kathmandu Roof Painting Service. They explained everything clearly and delivered exactly as promised. Great finish and attention to detail.
Excellent roof cleaning service. They arrived on time, explained their process, and left our roof looking dramatically cleaner. They cleaned up thoroughly afterward. The price was clear with no hidden fees. We’re thrilled with the curb appeal and would definitely hire them again. Highly recommend.
Recurring themes are honest advice (paint/restore rather than replace), clear communication and finish quality, punctuality, transparent no-surprises pricing, and thorough clean-up afterwards.
Best for
- Homeowners with a tired but structurally sound tile or metal roof who want it cleaned, sealed and repainted to look new — the core, most-reviewed service.
- People who value a contactable, named owner-operator who quotes clearly, explains the process and stands behind the finish.
- Anyone weighing whether to replace a roof, where an honest 'you can restore rather than replace' second opinion could save real money — a recurring theme in the reviews.
Less suited for
- Structural re-roofing, major storm damage or urgent emergency leak repairs — this is a painting/restoration and cleaning specialist, not a full roofing contractor, and the work is quote-first rather than 24/7 callout.
- Buyers who need a second, independent consumer-review source before committing — the rating rests on Google alone, with no ProductReview or comparable listing to cross-check.
- Large commercial or time-critical jobs where a bigger crew and formal capacity guarantees matter — this is a small, owner-led team, so scheduling and scale should be confirmed before you rely on it.
Before you commit
Five questions worth asking
- Can you confirm the work will be quoted and invoiced under ABN 95 401 407 188 (Kathmandu Roof Painting Service), and put the full scope and price in writing before you start?
- For my roof, is painting/restoration genuinely the right call over replacement — and what specifically are you sealing, repointing or repairing before the recoat?
- What paint or coating system are you using, how many coats, and what surface preparation and cleaning happens first?
- What warranty or guarantee do you offer on the coating and the workmanship, and is it provided in writing?
- Who will actually be on my roof, are they covered by public liability insurance, and what's your realistic lead time to start and finish?
Bottom line
For cleaning, sealing and recoating a sound roof, we'd happily put this well-reviewed, verifiable owner-operator on your shortlist — just remember it's a small sole-trader team judged on Google alone, and it isn't the outfit for structural re-roofing or emergency repairs.
