This was the second time we had used Jake for exterior painting - although this was a much bigger job being all the exterior walls, drainpipes etc. Jake is easy to communicate with and was able to schedule the work when it suited us and using the paint we wanted. The team (Scott and Dan) were efficient and friendly, working very neatly and tidying up as they went along. The end result is a vast improvement on how the house looks and we would have no hesitation in using them again / recommending their services. Thanks!

Jake came out promptly to survey the site and note our requirements and was able to fit us in very quickly into his work schedule. Jake and his team took great care to cover up doors, patio paving, windows and roof structures so as to avoid paint splashes and damage. His team worked quickly and the job was done within three days. We are very pleased with the finish. Will use again and are happy to recommend Jake Donald.

Jake and his team did an excellent job from start to finish. His quote undercut several others and the quality of work done is amazing.
Painted our small tenement block of 4 flats in Balgreen area and all four householders in block are delighted with the work done. Will definitely use again in the future and be recommending to friends and family.
Photo below of work done unfortunately did not have a picture of the absolute state that it was before to compare with the amazing job thats been done.

After agreeing a costing Jake supplied a agreed start date to complete the work in my 4 Bedroom House to Paint all rooms and Paper two main walls.

Complex, commercial wallpapering and painting done at night to minimise disruption to business during the day. Did a great job, kept to the estimated schedule and quote and kept the premises clean as the job was done. Would recommend to anyone

This is the second time I have used Jake and his team- they have now painted our whole house. Once again fantastic customer service when organising the paint work. The painting it self was also superb. Hard working and great skills. Highly recommend!

Jake gave our tenement front door an overhaul. This included some repairs and a repainting. He was reliable and efficient and the work done to a high standard. 6 months on and a heavily used main door is still looking good. Highly recommended

I cannot recommend Jake and his team enough. From the off start he was quick with communication and getting a date sorted - I almost thought there was a catch. Far from it, he is just very dedicated and provides fantastic customer service. I was so impressed with the efficiency and how hard they work. The level of work is outstanding and Jake has very high standards. 3 rooms and hallway painted. Will use them for any other work without a doubt.

Jake and the team redecorated my living room and hallway: painting the ceiling, walls, and woodwork for each.
Jake delivered the best quote with an excellent breakdown of everything to be done. Team arrived promptly each morning and finished the job on time - a great experience all round. Thanks again!

Thanks to Jake for his wallpapering expertise. He hung our living room wall mural perfectly. We are so happy with it, it really finishes our room. He restored our faith in good workmanship after we had a bad experience with another decorator. Many thanks Jake we will see you back in the autumn for our kitchen ! Anybody thinking of using Jake and his team please do not hesitate, they are the best !

Jake and the lads did a fantastic job painting the outside of our house. We had been let down by two other outfits, but they restored our faith! They turned up on time, worked hard, were a pleasure to have around and made the house look infinitely better than it did when they arrived. All work done to a high standard and for a very fair price. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend!

Probably the best experience I've had with a trades person coming into my home. Jake was great to deal with. Him and his team were at my house on time everyday, got the job done really quickly and to a high standard, for a fair price. Would definitely recommend. Thoroughly impressed and will be sure to use him again. Bedroom and spare room both looking fantastic now.
