## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Bernard and Mark have done an excellent job on painting my external wooden windows and doors. Attention to detail. Conscientious. Took care of my property. Clearly take pride in their trade. I would not hesitate to recommend - my go to decorators from now."
> — liz s (5.0, via Checkatrade)

> "Bernard is an exceptional painter and genuinely one of the nicest people you could meet. He was really responsive to our initial enquiry and, with Mark, did a brilliant job on our front windows, stonework and door. We asked them back for the yard and later the full house interior. Their attention to detail and care are outstanding, prices fair, quick and efficient and they always leave everything spotless. The house looks absolutely incredible — the finish is flawless, and they really went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. We honestly couldn’t recommend them more highly!"

> "Bernard and Mark did a fantastic job. They stripped off woodchip that had been on the walls at least 30 years or more, then prepped the walls and put on new lining paper ready for when we choose our paint colour. They turned up when they said they would and worked all day to get the job done ahead of the estimated time. The finished walls look smooth, their skills are evident and they tidied and hoovered as they went. It was a pleasure and I will hire them again."
