About Us

Founder Theo Vairaktaris established United House of Kolor (UHK), a small-scale painting company which evolved via organic growth and acquisition into Usher & Son in 2004.

Throughout the early 2000s, our innovative services grew. Hutchinson Builders recognised our capabilities and awarded us our first $1m + project.

We launched Usher Systems to provide our customers with a strategic project delivery process. Usher Systems applies our industry-leading best practice and management skills to deliver projects on time and on budget.

To provide a more comprehensive service offering to our customers, we purchased our first swing stage which eventually evolved into Usher Access Solutions.

Many Usher Group projects include elements of signage and painting so it was a natural progression for us to launch a dedicated signage division. Today, we have a full-scale signage design and manufacturing facility located on the Gold Coast.

Thanks to our continued success and a desire to give back to the community, we created Usher Love, our charitable foundation.

Usher Group in Melbourne was officially opened, laying the foundations for a truly national organisation.

To meet the industry’s need for a superior coating system, especially for tier one high rise construction, we launched Baxta, our own Usher Group paint brand.

Usher & Son officially became the largest commercial painting company in QLD turning over $42m.

The company reached 500+ employees, turned over $80m and evolved into one of the most recognised commercial applicators in the business. Our team uses over 7000 litres of paint daily.
