Reviews
From our happy customers.
Had my living room and hallway painted by this team and couldn't be happier with the results. The painters were so precise with their cutting in around corners and doorframes. They took extra care protecting my wooden floors and furniture. Even helped move some heavy items I couldn't manage on my own. The finish is flawless and they cleaned up perfectly after themselves.
Margaret, West Boldon
The team painted our entire ground floor including the kitchen and dining room. They arrived exactly when they said they would each day and worked efficiently throughout. Their color matching advice was spot on, and they even spotted and fixed some cracks in the walls I hadn't noticed. Really pleased with how they transformed our space.
David, West Boldon
We hired them to paint our master bedroom and en-suite bathroom. The painters were friendly and professional, taking time to properly prep all surfaces. They suggested a lovely feature wall which has become the highlight of the room. Their pricing was fair and they finished ahead of schedule. Would definitely recommend them to anyone in the area.
