Photographs of our own work, not stock

The quote broke down what the paint cost and what the labour cost, so I could see exactly where the money went. Two other companies gave me one number and got annoyed when I asked.

Damp above the bathroom door that we had painted over twice. They found it was coming from the terrace, fixed that first, and it has been dry through two monsoons.

They covered every bit of furniture before opening a tin, and put it all back the same evening. I have had painters leave the sofa under a sheet for four days.

The code thing sounds gimmicky until you use it. I did not have to judge whether the work was finished — I just did not read out the second code until it was.

Dining table had ring marks from ten years of use. It came back looking like the day we bought it, and they matched the stain to the chairs without being asked.

I paid the advance from the app and the balance when it was done. Nobody asked me for cash at any point, which after my last renovation was the whole reason I chose them.
