Dave did a really great job. The finish was excellent and he worked very hard to meet the requirements. He genuinely wants to do a good job for his customers, and regularly checked in to ensure everything was in line with my needs.Verified reviewerJob location: GL1010 Complete apartment redecoration
Posted 19 February
Having met Dave during his exterior redecoration of our apartments Regency building, we knew from his attention to detail that we wanted him to redecorate our apartment. The quality of his work is simply second to none, great advice on paint supplier/colour/finish and not withstanding the additional problems we had with our sash window degrading due to the apartment being unoccupied/being prepared for sale. Dave managed every aspect of this and not only completed the work on time, but within our agreed budget. Dave, we look forward to seeing you when we need to redecorate our new property.Verified reviewerJob location: GL5210 Bathroom paint freshen up

Posted 06 December 2024
Dave has worked for us before so we did not hesitate to call him when we decided to refurbish our kitchen. Dave is very experienced and knowledgeable. He removed the lining paper from the ceiling refilled and repainted the room and also repainted ALL the cupboards and units. I feel I have a new kitchen. Dave always turns up on time and does a professional job. Very happy to recommend Dave 😊Verified reviewerJob location: GL529.5 Painting the outside then inside of a large house
