Highlights
"Mark did a great job. Was reliable and reasonably priced for the amount of work he carries out."
"This the second time Mark has done outside work on our house. Great job and would have no hesitation in recommending the quality of his work."
"Mark has done indoor painting for us before so we had no hesitation in asking him again, this time for the exterior of our house - the front rendering, porch, front door and garage doors. He did an excellent job with thorough preparation including protecting windows . As ever, Mark was friendly and polite and always made an early start. His pricing is very fair and competitive. He provides a written estimate before starting the job - charging a daily rate for his labour, plus the cost of materials."
