Omar did a brilliant job redecorating our bathrooms, cloakroom, bedroom and hall. The quality of his work is great and i always use him because of this. I recommend him for all decorating work. He also painted the outside of our house last year and did a great job. He is curtious, helpfull and always clears up after himself.

Detailed reviews
These are the individual reviews we hold for Kara Decorating, including the highlights above. The 107 headline total is the review volume reported across public review sources.
Omer quoted for a complete refurbishment of my house, including the bathroom. His quote was very thorough and detailed. There was a lot of work to be done but Omer project managed all aspects and bought in specialists where necessary. The work did take longer than anticipated but this was down to the change of weather meaning the plastering took longer to dry. Omer and his specialists were professional, friendly and punctual and the end result looks super
Omer was fantastic from start to finish. He painted the bedroom and living room beautifully, kept everything clean and tidy, and was very friendly and professional throughout. I would definitely use his services again.
