I used Home Decor to complete some work on my mums porch due to water damage. He understood that my mum was an elderly lady & was sensitive as to when to go round & do the quote. He kept in regular communication with me about what was needed & the cost of the job so I could approve it on behalf of my mum. The completed decorating was finished to an excellent standard! The cost was reasonable for the works carried out, I would highly recommend this decorator!

Ian takes care of your floors and carpets and other items with meticulous care.Everything is covered and taped down with dust sheets and protective paper. Arrives on time everyday and with a smile ,and leaves all in very tidy and clean state at end of days work ,very high attention to detail with his preparation and painting and workmanship ,I will highly recommend him and his high standards and is very trustworthy to just leave him in your house to work. Iam very happy with the finished job and it was a pleasure meeting Ian . I will be using him again when needed .
Ian was the most professional workman l have ever had. He was with me for three weeks. He arrived on time every day and was very pleasant and polite. It wasn't the easiest job as l live in an old cottage that has beams and all sorts of difficult shapes on the ceilings and walls. He covered everything that wasn't being painted and cleaned and tied up at the end of each day. I could not fault his work in any way. Well done Ian, I was delighted and will definitely recommend you and hopefully have you back to do some other rooms in the future
