“This guy is amazing. He lets you know when he will come and he turns up on time. He showed me each day what he had done. And he has done a great job. I can’t fault him at all. I wanted my kitchen, a small bedroom and the front of the house redecorated. He has made good the plaster on the walls and filled in cracks before painting. He and the young lad who works with him are very polite and easy to have in the house. I would wholeheartedly recommend him.”
