10 Porch painting & removal of water stains
Posted 23 June
I used Home Decor to complete some work on my mums porch due to water damage. He understood that my mum was an elderly lady & was sensitive as to when to go round & do the quote. He kept in regular communication with me about what was needed & the cost of the job so I could approve it on behalf of my mum. The completed decorating was finished to an excellent standard! The cost was reasonable for the works carried out, I would highly recommend this decorator!Verified reviewerJob location: BH3110 Painting stairwell

Job location: BH22Ian was excellent from the care he took masking up and covering up my carpets. He was so efficient and a pleasure to have in my home. I have only recently had to start relying on outside tradespeople for certain jobs and was nervous and unsure, but not only did he do a wonderful job he made me feel relaxed using him in my home. Even the cats found themselves a new forever friend. Thanks Ian10 Walls and woodwork painted upstairs and downstairs

Ian was the most professional workman l have ever had. He was with me for three weeks. He arrived on time every day and was very pleasant and polite. It wasn't the easiest job as l live in an old cottage that has beams and all sorts of difficult shapes on the ceilings and walls. He covered everything that wasn't being painted and cleaned and tied up at the end of each day. I could not fault his work in any way. Well done Ian, I was delighted and will definitely recommend you and hopefully have you back to do some other rooms in the futureVerified reviewerJob location: BH1110 Hallway Walls & Ceiling

Ian is a really professional painter. He did a great job painting our newly plastered walls. His knowledge is second to none. He was a pleasure to have in our house & was very tidy with the work he carried out. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend him or again. Thanks Ian!Verified reviewerJob location: BH9
