## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Stephen is an excellent decorator, he completely transformed my new flat from a dingy unloved property to a bright clean flat, all before I moved in. There were minor problems in some of the rooms, but he overcame them and now you would never know there were issues before. He has proved invaluable at overcoming these problems, where other decorators only saw insurmountable problems. All the work, ceilings, walls and paintwork were all completed to a very high standard, and finished on time. I would recommend Stephen for any decorating job."
> Source: Jackie (5.0, via TrustATrader)

> "Stephen has just finished decorating our whole house. He was punctual, tidy and has a great work ethic. Good attention to detail and at the end of the project, even invited us to inspect his work thoroughly. Can't recommend him highly enough!"
> Source: Ian (5.0, via TrustATrader)

> "Stephen has just completed work on my flat and I am delighted with the work. He decorated the entire flat between tenants and it looks amazing. He was on quite a tight timeframe but still managed to get it all done even finding time to re-paint the front door!"
