“We phoned Paul and he was able to come out and quote very quickly and also fit us in within a couple of weeks. Quote was accurate compared to final invoice, plus a small amount due to extra paint purchased. This was an empty property being sold, so we wanted the house 'freshened up' rather than a full 'proper' decorate like if we were going to live in it. This was a slightly unusual job for Paul in that he wasn't doing it to the high standard that Paul would normally do, but nonetheless the house looks so much better than it did to start with. Very happy, would use him again.”

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.
