Dan made a wonderful job of decorating two bedrooms for me. His workmanship is excellent. He pays great attention to detail. He always leaves everything clean and tidy once finished. I have used Dan before for my decorating. I will definitely use him again and can’t recommend him highly enough.

Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.
