Requested several quotes to paint the inside of my house but most painters didn't want the job as it was too big a job: difficult & fiddly. Ended up with 2 quotes-I chose Phillip as he came highly recommended by a friend, his references were fantastic and he was a lot cheaper than a 5* company I found on WOMO who gave me a quote. He used top of the range Haymes paint, he prepared the surfaces well, did 2 coats of undercoat and 2-3 top coats, sanding in between. He took down curtains for me, moved some furniture which was too heavy for me to move, removed curtain brackets from an old blind (he had to remove the door to get them out) and even re-siliconed my garage entrance when he noticed it had worn away and water was getting underneath my slab. He offered to do these things and he did not charge me for this extra work. He is trustworthy-I left my house key with him, and my dogs loved him. He is completely reliable, a little slow but very methodical, very tidy, thorough, a perfectionist. I did find some spots to be touched up which were only obvious at night when the light was on and it was no issue at all for him to fix them. I cannot recommend him highly enough. My house has been completely transformed. He has done a top quality job which I can see will last a long time. I've now asked him to paint the exterior of the house next year!

Approximate cost: $13,000
