> "Steve did an excellent job of decorating our dining room, including all prep from bare plaster. Good attention to detail and very tidy."
> — Customer (5.0, via Checkatrade)

> "I cannot speak highly enough about Steve and his work ethic. Old school, reliable, hardworking, honest and did an absolutely fantastic job completing well within the time frame. He transformed the property, using good quality paint, but did not charge a fortune. Would not hesitate to recommend him to my family and friends."
> — Kathryn W (5.0, via Checkatrade)

The delivery of the work was of a high quality and he was extremely knowledgable to help advise on the current job as well as support with other decorating questions / problems I was having. Would highly recommend. Great price point too."
