Overall great work, my family were so impressed by his work. Our living room literally transformed after Winston completed sorting out our walls. With no hesitation he also helped us with another problem we had which we really appreciated. I would definitely recommend!
We hired Winston to paint our hallway and radiators and are really pleased with the result!! Winston was efficient and competitive on pricing and the finish was great. Would definitely recommend 10/10 :)
Winston was great. He came when he said he would and got the job done. There was some extra work that needed doing and he was open about it and did not charge us much more. I would definitely recommend him to others and use his services again.
Winston did a great job. He was polite and communicated well in the run up to completing the job. His rates were reasonable and I would definitely recommend and use Winston again.
Winston the painter arrived right on time and carried out the bedroom wall painting professionally and efficiently. He was polite throughout and completed the job within a great time frame. On top of his professionalism, he wasn’t exactly hard on the eyes either—though of course, I kept that to myself!
Was prompt, did a good job
Winston was a polite and courteous young man who completed the work in a timely fashion to a high standard. He was approachable and had good ideas and suggestions on the job. I would be happy to recommend Winston to other potential clients.
