    Painted bedroom

    Posted 21 April

    I had a bedroom painted that was in a very bad condition….. there was a lot of preparation needed to the walls and the end result was perfect. I have had a few rooms decorated and an excellent job was done in all of them.. would highly recommend.

    Outstanding, top quality job

    Posted 02 February

    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 .
