Highlights
“Sam painted my whole house over two time periods. It was definitely worth waiting for him to be available, as he is much in demand because: - excellent preparation, I realised I had never had a decorator before who had prepared properly! - encouraged me to be bold with the colours & I am delighted with the result. - he always cleaned up after himself every evening, leaving the house cleaner than before! - I work from home, live in a small house so I can say that Sam was easy to be around, quiet, unobtrusive , while being friendly & accommodating to my needs. 100% recommend him.”
“All round fantastic job (bedrooms, hallways, living room and bathrooms) - methodical, diligent, efficient and all done to the highest standard. Excellent communication and very easy to talk things through with. Couldn't recommend highly enough.”
