> "Mark has done indoor painting for us before so we had no hesitation in asking him again, this time for the exterior of our house - the front rendering, porch, front door and garage doors. He did an excellent job with thorough preparation including protecting windows . As ever, Mark was friendly and polite and always made an early start. His pricing is very fair and competitive. He provides a written estimate before starting the job - charging a daily rate for his labour, plus the cost of materials."
