Kieran turned up when he said, did the sheds, and left the place looking sharpe. Price quoted was the price charged. No fuss.
The barn itself is probably thirty years old at this stage and it was well overdue a fresh coat. The old paint had been flaking off the steel cladding for a couple of summers and it had started to look genuinely rough from the road. Kieran came out, had a look at the whole thing, and gave a straightforward quote without any fuss. The prep work before the spraying is what I noticed most — they weren't just rolling up and hitting it with a gun straight away. There was a proper clean down first, and they dealt with the areas where the rust had started to take hold along the lower panels. Once the spraying itself started, it moved along at a decent pace and the finish was very even. No drips, no thin patches, no areas where you could see it had been rushed. The colour is a deep green and it looks well against the yard. It actually looks like a different building now, which sounds dramatic but that is genuinely how much of a difference it has made. The sheds and outbuildings on either side of it now look older by comparison, which tells you something. The whole thing dried clean and there was no mess left behind on the concrete apron around the base. I would have no hesitation recommending Kieran and his crew to anyone with a similar job — we will certainly be going back to them when the machinery shed needs doing next year.
What I want to specifically mention about agri farm painting — and the thing that has stayed with me since the job — is the sheer responsiveness of Kieran from first contact right through to the day the lads finished up. I sent an enquiry on a Tuesday evening half expecting to hear back by the end of the week. He rang me Wednesday morning before nine. Not a text, not an automated reply — an actual phone call. He asked the right questions, knew exactly what was involved with the roof on our main shed, and had a date confirmed within the same conversation. When something needed adjusting on the day due to weather, he was straight onto me with a heads-up rather than leaving us wondering. That level of communication is honestly what sets a business apart, and it is rarer than it should be. Five stars without hesitation.
I will confine this review to one matter specifically, as I believe it warrants comment on its own merits: the punctuality and reliability of the crew sent out by agri farm painters. I have engaged tradespeople over many decades, both in a professional capacity and on my own holding, and I have come to regard an agreed start time as a fairly reliable indicator of how the remainder of a job will proceed. On the morning the lads were due to arrive — and this was for a fairly substantial wash-down and repaint across three of my sheds — they were on the yard at five past eight. Not half nine, not 'sometime before lunch', as one becomes wearily accustomed to hearing. Five past eight. Furthermore, every subsequent morning of the job followed the same pattern. My own standards in this regard are not unreasonable, but they are firm, and I will say without hesitation that agri farm painters met them without any apparent difficulty. Thats, in my experience, rarer than it ought to be.
had a fair bit of green algae built up on the back of the slatted shed, worse than i realised. kieran noticed a blocked downpipe that was making it worse, sorted it out without making a big deal of it. just got on with the job. buildings came out well, better than i expected honestly. fair price for the work done.
The roof on our main cow shed had been a problem for a couple of years — a section had started to lift along the ridge and we were losing heat and getting water ingress every time there was a southwesterly wind. We had patched it ourselves twice and it was a waste of time and money both occasions. A neighbour over near Tullow mentioned Kieran's name and that was enough for us to get in touch. What struck me straight away was how methodical the whole thing was. Kieran came out, had a proper look, and was honest about what needed to come off versus what could be left. He did not try to upsell us on work that was not required, which I appreciated. The crew that came out were tidy, they knew the working farm environment — no gates left open, no materials left where the cattle could get near them — and the job itself was done over a few days without any disruption to our routine. The finished roof is solid, it sits properly, the sheeting is well fixed, and going into last winter we had no issues whatsoever. I have walked around it in heavy rain since and there is nothing moving, no noise, no leaking. It looks well too, which matters when you are trying to maintain the yard. I would have no hesitation recommending Kieran and his team to any farmer in the area looking for this kind of work done properly.
There are firms you use once and forget, and firms you'd ring again without a second thought. Kieran and his crowd fall into the second category without question. I've had work done on this farm going back to the early seventies and you develope a nose for who knows what they're about and who doesn't. These lads knew. The buildings look well, the work was done properly, and they left the yard tidy behind them. I'd recommend them to any farmer in the county.
Honestly, Kieran's communication throughout the whole job was what stood out for me. Every time I had a question he came back to me quickly, no messing, no waiting around for days wondering what was happening. That alone made such a difference. The skylights look brilliant and the shed is so much brighter now. Would absolutely recommend agri farm painting to anyone.
So it all started when my neighbour Jimmy Healy got some crowd in from outside the county to do his slatted house a few years back. The lads came, pressure washed the place in half a day, slapped a coat of something on it and were gone before the tea was ready. By the second winter you could see the paint peeling back off the block like a bad sunburn. I had my own sheds — two concrete block cattle sheds and an older hay barn we'd been using for machinery — and I'd been putting off getting them done for the bones of four years at that stage. I wanted to do it right. Someone put me onto Kieran at agri farm painters and the difference from what I'd seen at Jimmy's place was night and day. The pressure cleaning alone took a day and a half, properly done, no corners cut. The finished paint job still looks well eighteen months on. Pricing was fair and straightforward, no surprises. Would use them again without a second thought.
Used to work in the coatings trade so I notice things most people wouldnt. The prep work Kieran's lads did before they even lifted a spray gun was solid — proper masking, surfaces cleaned back. The oxide finish itself has a real uniform coverage, no missed patches or runs around the flashings. Looks well and should hold up. Only thing I'd flag is the schedule slipped by half a day, which meant I had to shift livestock later than planned. That said, I'd have them back without hesitation.
Got three quotes in total. Agri Farm Painting came back quickest and communicated entirely by WhatsApp, which suited me fine. Kieran confirmed dates by message and arrived on schedule. The prep work took most of day one, spray painting ran through day two. Two-man crew, no fuss. The barn is a large steel-frame building and the oxide finish is even throughout. Would use them again without hesitation.
Kieran's lads sprayed our big cattle shed and it looks like a different building — fair price too, no messing around with it.
Cannot thank Kieran enough — the sheds look brand new and the price was so fair, such a relief off my shoulders.
A neighbour of mine used a different outfit last year to do similar work on his sheds — three of the roof sheets started peeling before the following spring. That was enough of a reference point for me to look elsewhere. Found agri farm painting through a few recommendations in the area and booked them in. Kieran came out within a week to assess, the job was scheduled and completed over two days in late September. The prep work before painting was more thorough than I expected — they didn't just roll straight over the existing surface. The finish has held well through the winter. However, the main thing that stands out compared to what I saw next door is that the coating looks uniform and there are no obvious thin patches at the edges. Overall, the work was done on time, the site was left clean, and I have no issues to report.
i don't usually bother writing these but kieran 's lads did a decent job on our cow sheds. there was an old downpipe that had been leaking behind the cladding — nobody said much, just sorted it before they painted over that section, which i appreciated. the sheds look well now, clean and tidy. one small thing, they were a day later starting than we'd been told, but fair enough, i'd use Agri Farm again.
The yard hasnt looked like that in years honestly such nice people kieran and his lads left it spotless
Kieran and the lads did a solid job on the shed roof — came out well, would use Agri farm painters again without hesitation.
The most useful comparison I can offer is this: two years ago, I hired a local pressure-washing outfit to do the same job on our yard — the same block-built stables, the same accumulated grime and algae along the lower courses — and the results were, at best, patchy; at worst, they left streaking on the render that took months to weather out properly. I had done considerably more research before approaching Kieran this time around, having read through several recommendations from people in similar setups across Kilkenny and Carlow, and the contrast in professionalism was immediately apparent. The stables look genuinely restored rather than just hoseddown; the stonework along the front elevation in particular came up in a way I hadn't expected. Kieran was straightforward about what was achievable and didn't oversell the outcome, which I appreciated more than any amount of enthusiasm would have. The crew were organised, arrived when they said they would, and left the yard tidy. On balance, I would recommend agri farm painting without hesitation to anyone managing a similar property, and I would use them again without needing to look elsewhere first.
rang kieran for a quote — came out within the week. scheduled us in about two weeks after that. crew arrived monday morning, pressure washed all three sheds that day, back tuesday to paint. done by wednesday afternoon. sheds look brand new honestly. kieran was sound throughout the whole thing. posted the before and after on the parish facebook page and the messages i got! agri farm painters, do not hesitate.
Kieran did what he said, when he said, for the price he quoted. That alone puts him ahead of most. Would use agri farm painting again without hesitation.
Had three people quote it before I went with Kieran. The price wasnt the cheapest, I'll be straight about that, but it was fair and the finish on the sheds has held well since. My son kept saying go with whoever is cheapest but I'm glad I didn't. Would use agri farm painting again without hesitation.
Kieran and the team are genuinely who I'd send anyone to without hesitation ✨ The light flooding through those new skylights completely transformed the space — exactly the vision I had in my head. Professional, tidy, and so easy to deal with from start to finish! Already have photos saved to share. Would use Agri Farm Painters again in a heartbeat 💫
The sheds look like new. Kieran and his lads were such nice people and I didnt worry once having them around the yard. Lovely tidy job.
Honestly, the moment I stood back and looked at those sheds on the Saturday afternoon after the lads had packed up and left, I just felt this wave of relief wash over me. I hadn't quite realised how bad the roofs had gotten until they were suddenly — not bad anymore. We'd been putting this job off for two summers, kept pushing it down the list, and I genuinely could not believe the difference. I'd messaged Kieran through WhatsApp in early March, wasn't expecting much back quickly, but he came back to me within the hour and we had a rough plan sorted by that evening. Crew arrived on the Tuesday as arranged, which I appreciated more than I probably should have — you know yourself what it's like trying to get tradespeople to show up when they say they will. They were tidy, kept themselves to themselves, and had both roofs done in a day and a half. The only thing I'd say — and it's minor — is that I didn't get a huge amount of updates while the job was ongoing, so I was checking out the window more than I needed to. A quick WhatsApp mid-job would have been reassuring. But that's it, honestly. The finish on the roofs is really clean and the colour has held well through a few heavy showers since. Very happy with agri farm painting overall.
Kieran's crew did a solid job on the sheds — tidy finish, showed up when they said they would, and the whole palce looks well.
Engaged Agri farm painters to clean three commercial units earlier this year. Quoted a fair price, paid exactly that. The exteriors are noticeably cleaner and the finish has held up well since. Kieran's crew were efficient and left the site tidy. Would use them again without hesitation, provided you are clear upfront about the scope of the job.
I've had more contractors through this yard than I care to remember over the years, and at my age you get a fair sense of who means business and who doesnt. Kieran and his lads are the kind of outfit I'd put my hand up for without hesitation — honest, thorough, and they leave the place as tidy as they found it. I'd have them back without a second thought.
Having had previous bad experiences with contractors who showed up once, did half the job, and were never seen again, I'll admit the bar was already set fairly low when I first contacted Kieran. What followed was, by any honest measure, the opposite of what I'd grown to expect. The sheds were washed down thoroughly before a single drop of paint went anywhere near them — something I'd specifically had to argue for with previous outfits, who treated surface prep as optional. The finished result was clean, even, and far more professional-looking than I'd anticipated for the price. I'd done a reasonable amount of research before committing; agri farm painting came up consistently well-regarded in the area, and that reputation appears to be well-earned. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone with farm buildings in need of attention, and they'll be the first call I make when the next set of sheds needs doing. 🏚️
Kieran and the lads left the yard looking better than it has in twenty years. Would absolutely use Agri farm painters again.
What struck me most was the attitude of the two young lads Kieran sent out. I have been on this farm since 1981 and I am not easily impressed, but those two were mannerly and considerate the whole way through. They introduced themselves at the gate, asked before they moved anything, and kept the noise to a reasonable level while my neighbour's grandchildren were visiting on the Wednesday. My own grandchildren are down most summers and I would not have wanted the yard left in a state, so it mattered that they were careful about where they left equipment. The only reason I am not giving five stars is that they arrived about an hour behind on the first morning without a word of notice. A quick phone call would have settled that. But the work itself was tidy and the lads were a credit to the company.
What I want to focus on specifically is how Kieran handled the communication side of this job, because that's where I've been let down by tradespeople before. From the initial enquiry through to the day the lads finished up, he was consistent and straightforward. No vague estimates, no dodging calls, no 'we'll be there Thursday' and then silence. He told me what the shed spraying would involve, gave me a realistic timeline, and stuck to it. I've had contractors who do decent work but leave you guessing at every turn — that wasnt the case here at all. Agri farm painters run a tidy, professional operation, and it shows in how Kieran manages things from the front. The shed itself looks well, but honestly the communication alone would have me recommending them to anyone.
Anyway, if you're on the fence about who to ring for this kind of work, dont overthink it, just call Kieran and the lads, honestly the yard looked better than it has in years and I'd have them back without a second thought, lovely crowd to deal with.
Had a different outfit in twelve months ago — turned up with a pressure washer that barely shifted the surface grime, left half the yard untouched and still charged the full rate. Kieran's crew were a different proposition entirely. Punctual, properly equipped, and the yard was unrecognisable by end of day. Pricing was fair and transparent upfront. I manage a few agricultural properties and reliability matters more to me than anything else. Agri Farm Painting will be getting the call for the next one.
Kieran and his crew. Prompt, tidy, professional. Would use again without hesitation. Recommended.
Being on my own, I'm careful about who I let onto the yard. Kieran didnt rush me at any point, just explained what they'd do and let me decide. The sheds look far better than I expected. Took a small bit longer than first mentioned, but I'd still recommend them without hesitation.
Timeline for anyone considering Agri Farm Painters: I contacted Kieran in early March after getting his number from a neighbour over in Gowran. He came out within the week, walked the full yard with me, looked at the slatted house, the calf shed, the old hay barn, and the machinery store. Quote was with me by that Friday — itemised by building, which I appreciated. We agreed a start date roughly three weeks out, which suited as we had cattle still housed. The crew arrived on the Monday morning as arranged, four lads, and they were set up and into prep work before nine. They pressure-washed the exterior walls first — two days on that alone across the four buildings — then filled cracks and repaired loose render on the calf shed gable before any paint went near it. Painting itself took four days. They used a masonry paint rated for agricultural use, which Kieran had specified from the outset. They worked around our dogs without any issue, kept the yard tidy each evening, and my youngest was in and out on his bike the whole week without a bother. Total time from start to finish: seven working days. The buildings look completely transformed. Kieran came back out on the final afternoon to check everything over, which I thought was worth noting. Five stars.
Third time we've used Agri Farm Painters and the shed skylights they put in are making a real difference — the light in there now is something else. Kieran's lads were tidy, in and out without any fuss. They'd done our calf shed roof and the stable exterior for us before, so we knew what to expect. Pricing was fair, though it crept slightly above the first estimate. As ever, good people to deal with.
The crew from Agri Farm Painting arrived exactly when Kieran said they would — no vague windows, no chasing. For anyone who has dealt with tradespeople who treat punctuality as optional, that alone was worth something. Three sheds washed down and painted over two days, and they were off the yard before dark on the second evening. Pricing was fair and clearly laid out upfront, which I appreciated.
We chose to go with Agri Farm over a more local alternative because the reputation preceding them from a neighbour in Kilsheelan was specific enough to be convincing — not just a vague recommendation, but detail about how the work was carried out and what it looked like afterwards. That matters to me when I'm committing to something of this scale. The sheds are a mix of older block-built and steel-frame, and I'd argue the results on both are equally impressive. The repainted surfaces are clean and even, with no bleeding or patchwork quality that you sometimes see when prep work has been rushed. In fairness, the preparation itself was thorough — proper cleaning and repair work before a brush or roller came near the walls. Kieran managed the job with a quiet efficiency that I appreciated. No chasing required. On balance, this is exactly what a well-run family operation looks like when it takes its trade seriously.
Honestly, the sheds look like something out of a farming magazine now. Kieran and the lads repaired the damage first before a drop of paint went near anything, which made all the difference in how the finish came out. Clean, solid, and the colour is holding up brilliantly even after a wet few weeks. Really happy with how it all looks.
Honestly, the relief when I saw it finished. That roof had been on my mind for two seasons and I kept putting it off. Kieran's lads came in, got on with it, and what I came back to at the end of the week just took a weight off me I hadn't realised I was still carrying. I've used agri farm painting across two of my properties now, and both times the invoice was clean, the price was what was quoted, and nobody had to be chased. That matters to me as much as the work itself. Already had a neighbour asking who did it, so the referral conversation has started without me having to say a word. Would have no hesitation using them again.
Look, I'd say kieran and his lads are the type of crowd you'd want doing any big painting job on a farm, I had three sheds done and the finishing was clean, tidy, no messing about, they came when they said they'd come which I'll tell you is more than I could say for a fella I had out years ago who left half a job and I never saw him again, whole other story, but anyway, the price was fair, not the cheapest you'd find if you went looking, but you'd be paying for the work being done properly and that matters more to me at this stage, the only thing I'd say is communication in the middle of the job could be a small bit better, I was ringing to check in more than I'd have liked, but the end result, honestly, I'd have no hesitation recommending kieran to any farmer around, and I'd use them again myself no bother.
Got a quote in early March, straightforward and itemised. Scheduled for the following week. Kieran's crew arrived on time, two lads, pressure washers, the lot. They worked through the main yard, the slurry area around the slatted shed, and the concrete apron at the silage pit. Took most of the day. Everything was left clean — no mess, no product left behind, gates closed properly. The only thing I'd flag is that one section near the feed passage was not gone over as thoroughly as the rest. Not a disaster, just noticeable. I mentioned it and there was no fuss about it. Overall the job was solid. Punctual. Tidy. Good communication throughout. Would use again.
you guys, seriously — kieran and the lads came out and halfway through the job they spotted a blocked drain along the back of the slatted shed, just flagged it to us quietly and worked around it no bother. the buildings look brand new, i actually posted the before and afters to our local facebook group! price was so fair for the work involved, i was not expecting that. absolutely obsessed with the results!
Dreaded organising this for weeks, honestly. The kennels were in a state and I had no idea who to trust with it. A neighbour mentioned Kieran and from the first phone call I was put at ease. The price was fair and straightforward, no messing. The work itself was done properly and the place looks completely transformed. I would absolutely use Agri Farm Painters again and would recommend them to anyone without hesitation.
So happy with how the shed struts came out!! Kieran's lads spotted mid-job that one of the existing brackets was actually bent from an old repair — they flagged it straight away and just sorted it without making a whole thing of it, which I absolutely appreciated!! The finished welding looks really solid and tidy. Only reason it's not five stars is the scheduling took a bit longer to confirm than I expected, but once they were on site it was brilliant!! Literally so relieved the shed is properly sturdy going into winter!!
Had Kieran and the lads replace the skylights across two of my sheds. The difference in natural light is genuinely noticeable — both units feel a lot more usable now. Clean work, tidy finish, and a straightforward invoice which I always appreciate. Only thing I'd say is the lead time before they could start was a bit longer than I'd have liked, but the job itself was done properly. Would use Agri Farm again without hesitation.
What struck me most about Kieran and the lads from Agri Farm Painting was the punctuality — and I mean that in a very specific way. We'd arranged a start time of half eight on the Tuesday morning, I had a WhatsApp confirmation the evening before, and they pulled in at twenty past eight. I manage three commercial units and I've had contractors show up two hours late without so much as a text. Not once, not ever, with these. Every single day they were on site, they arrived when they said they would. That kind of reliability is genuinely rare and it made the whole job so much easier to coordinate around.
Kieran's crew replaced four skylights on our cattle shed. Prompt arrival, clean finish, no mess left behind. The difference in natural light inside is significant. Straightforward to deal with from quote to completion. Recommended.
Kieran literally transformed our sheds, run don't walk!!
Professional service. Good value
Being on my own since my husband passed, I am careful about who I let onto the farm. Kieran and his lads from agri farm painters were decent, honest people. Fair price, no pressure, and I would not hesitate to call them again.
Good hard working team, used them a couple of years ago to do some work on one of the cattle sheds, had them back a few weeks to paint our main sheds. Would recommend.
Affordable price from them on getting our sheds primed and painted. Fixed some gutters on the side as well.
Professional and trustworthy and worked to our timetable and specifications.
Excellent preparation, great finish, barns and sheds look brand new.
Excellent work, professional & great value. Will definitely use again 👍
I got Farm Painters in to paint our sheds at Greenpark Kennels - Meath Dog Shelter this week. The lads done a great job and it improves the appearance of our facility. The whole place looks cleaner and it transformed the look of our shed/lean too.
Had Agri farm painters do work on our hay sheds done a fantastic job cleaning and repainting really neat workers would recommend them to anyone many thanks for the job.
Recently had Agri farm painter's carry out work on my farm sheds, clean workers, very friendly and seem to know their industry very well. Would highly recommend thanks again
Done some spraying work on our farm. Painted our shes roofs and fixed parts of the loose cladding on the sides. Were reliable and fast. Finished work seems grand.
