    Brilliant attention to detail

    Glen is a brilliant decorator. He completed coving in two rooms, painted and fixed up some panelling we’d started. I really appreciate his attention to detail. He was working with broken paneling and you couldn’t tell. I also appreciated he cleared up after. He’s obviously a very diligent, hardworking person. Would definitely have him back on future jobs.

    Highly Recommended

    After some great work by Glen last year I asked him back for some more work on my home. Decorating, boxing in some pipes and adjusting a built-in wardrobe + adding a shelf. Great work completed on time and on budget. I will be talking to Glen about some more work in a few weeks, which perhaps is the highest recommendation I can give.

    Great work - no complaints

    Glen did a fantastic job painting our daughter’s bedroom and fixing a poor paint job carried out by another company a year ago. Really appreciate his attention to detail and was a pleasure to have him work in the house.
