10 Outstanding, top quality job
Posted 1 day ago
Chris from Rae of colour did an outstanding job . I would highly recommend him to anyone . He is really knowledgeable about his field and explained everything very clearly . He was extremely professional from the beginning in giving the quote to clearing up everything perfectly and putting paintings back up when he had fully finished . His attention to detail is impeccable . We love the quality and finish of the new paintwork. He even assisted us in choosing the colours and getting suitable paint . I can’t recommend Rae of colour and Chris highly enough .Verified reviewerJob location: TS26- JJohn L

Chris is an absolute perfectionist, and when you want your home looking amazing, I genuinely wouldn't choose anyone else for the job. He's efficient, professional, talented, knowledgeable, honest and to the point. You couldn't ask for anything more. I'm so pleased with my living room, and I will be calling Chris again to carry out more work for us. He's amazing at what he does. And now I have experienced his quality, I wouldn't use anyone else!Verified reviewerJob location: TS25
