    Great work - no complaints

    Posted 23 January

    Glen did a fantastic job painting our daughter’s bedroom and fixing a poor paint job carried out by another company a year ago. Really appreciate his attention to detail and was a pleasure to have him work in the house.

    Highly skilled, trustworthy, and a diligent worker. Glen did all the work to an excellent finish, in a timely manner. No issues whatsoever. I have since recommended him to my mother who needed some painting and replastering in her home, and am using his service for a different property I own in need refurbishment. Great work, highly recommended.

    This is the third job Glen has done for me. I am very pleased with the work. I am hoping Glen will do further work on my house which I think is the best recommendation you can give.
