Decorating of dining room and bedroom
Merv did a great job completely decorating our dining room and one of our bedrooms. He is always on time and the quote was as stated. He is very reliable and we will definitely use Empty Paint Tin in the future. Really pleased with the results.Verified reviewerJob location: RH610 Painter / Decorator

Professional and a perfectionist
I recently hired Merv to paint my daughter bedroom in two different colours and I cannot recommend him highly enough. He is incredibly professional and a true perfectionist when it comes to his craft. Merv took the time to do thorough preparation, ensuring the final output was of an exceptionally high standard. I was comfortable leaving him to simply get on with the job, and he worked efficiently without needing supervision. The attention to detail, especially in the prep work and finishing touches, was amazing. He left the place spotless. A 10/10 experience!Job location: RH1010 Painting / Decorating
