Carl is a very pleasant man and extremely punctual. He was able to start within less than a week of giving the quote and completed the work very quickly. I hired him to paint at my place of work, which included: completely painting the bathroom walls and ceiling, caulking many holes in the bathroom walls, undercoating and glossing three doors, varnishing shelves and a handrail, painting the outside window frame, stain-stopping three leak stains and over-painting, and touching up around two rooms. I found him to be very meticulous and thorough. There was no fuss - he arrived, got to work, finished when he said he would and did everything I asked. He even replaced an old lock which had been covered in old paint free-of-charge which I was delighted with! If you want a reliable painter/decorator without any hassle then don't hesitate to contact Carl.
