“The headline: Doug did an absolutely terrific job and my windows are transformed. I needed 10 sash windows redecorating, inside and out. The windows are approx 150 years old and have an unusual design. A difficult job, time consuming job; of several traders who looked at it, only Doug gave me a (very reasonable) quote. Doug did the redecorating with painstaking care and attention to detail. He kept to schedule and within quote. I had complete confidence in giving him keys. He tidied each day. The result is that my windows have been redecorated to a very high standard and look beautiful.”
