Martin was an absolute joy to have in my home. I work from home and he was so considerate the entire time, and I would have felt comfortable with him there even if I weren't in. The quote was very reasonable for what I wanted, and there were no unexpected costs as the job progressed. He did an amazing job -- he's very detail-orientated and was patient with me while I made decisions on what I wanted (and very helpful with suggestions). The finished room looks fabulous and I'll be hiring him again should he be available for the other rooms in the house. All in all, couldn't rate him higher!

Detailed reviews
Martin did an excellent job prepping and painting my hallway. He also hung a wallpaper mural perfectly. He was very professional, clean and tidy. I am very pleased with the work he did for me and would highly recommend.
Martin was a compete professional he completes. A bathroom and a bedroom with a feature wall papered wall. The standard of work was excellent, kept to the times agreed, exceptionally trustworthy leaving him to complete the work while we worked. Very tidy kept the house clear and tidy and wouldn't have known he had been there when he left. Highly recommended
