“I’m not really one for writing reviews but I feel like this one is required. Carl did a fantastic job and if you are looking for a painter you don’t need to look any further, you must use this man. I was originally quoted a fair amount for the job but once the job was complete to a more than satisfactory level he refunded a portion of the original quoted price. The job done was excellent, no mess was left after, communication was top tier and also offered suggestions for what would be best for this specific job, he obviously has years of experience. 11/10 rating.”
