Job location: RH10I recently hired Merv to paint my daughter bedroom in two different colours and I cannot recommend him highly enough. He is incredibly professional and a true perfectionist when it comes to his craft. Merv took the time to do thorough preparation, ensuring the final output was of an exceptionally high standard. I was comfortable leaving him to simply get on with the job, and he worked efficiently without needing supervision. The attention to detail, especially in the prep work and finishing touches, was amazing. He left the place spotless. A 10/10 experience!10 Excellent work
