First class service from start to finish from Jake and his team, arrived each day on time and put in a full day's work, great attention to detail and cleaned up after each shift.
Will definitely recommend.

We were recommended Jake by a friend who had worked alongside him on a renovation project. As soon as I sent the enquiry through I had a message back arranging a time to come out and give a quote which was a couple of days after. Jake turned up when he said he would and told us what they would do. That it wouldn't just be a paint job, they would sand down all the walls and wood, fill in any holes or chips, and make sure the walls look like new before applying any paint. Now I did think the quote was higher than expected because I had only ever have painters come in and paint over old paint before, so I did get other quotes in, but nobody offered the same level of detail so I decided to take a chance and see if they were as good as they made out. As the old saying goes, you get what you pay for. They charge a little higher because they really do a professional job. I must admit, I was a little sceptical at first as my house is 50 years old and some of the walls and skirting panels have seen a lot of past paintwork! But absolutely worth the extra! Every single wall is pristine, no roller or brush strokes, even on the woodwork.we built an extension a wee while ago so the new part never ever matched the old....now it does as we got the whole of the downstairs done. The team taped down paper to cover and protect the floors and put dust sheets over furniture. When they had finished everything was clean and tidy. Very impressed! So much so I've got him to quote for doing all the upstairs rooms after Christmas! 100% recommend - oh, and even though it's Jake's name on the business, it's a team effort. And every one of that team were polite, friendly and did a great job.

I just wanted to commend your painter, Scott who painted our bathroom this week. Nothing was too much trouble and he did a a superb job. Good painters are hard to find and I will recommend you to friends and definitely use you again. Delighted of Dudley!

Extensive redecoration and repair of walls and ceilings. Jake was very helpful when discussing the work required and best way forward and provided a detailed quote very promptly and was able to accommodate a tight time frame. As is often the case once the repairs started more remedial work came to light but Jake honoured his original quotation. The work was completed on time and to a very high standard. The property was left clean and tidy on completion. Really can't ask for more than that and I would not hesitate to use Jake Donald again.

I needed work done replacing the ceilings and the flooring in two bathrooms as well as painting the two bathrooms to deal with mound and painting & tiling the kitchen. I knew of Jake through a neighbour & trusted trader and upon contacting him, he was around straight-a-way to provide a quote. While he would do the painting, he sub-contracted out the rest and would manage those engagements. I thought the quote very reasonable and I agreed.
The engagement could not have gone better. Jake and the team where all very punctual, hardworking and tidy. Although scheduled across 2 weeks, it was completed before then. Nothing was too much trouble and some extra work taken on on the fly.
Overall, I am very pleased with the work and engagement and can not recommend Jake highly enough, I will certainly be engaging his services again in the future.

All aspects of the job were carried out professionally, from detailed quote to paintwork. Exterior of house was to be repainted which was done to a high standard. No hesitation in recommending Jake and his team and would happily ask him to undertake any future projects.

Jake and his team did a fantastic job with decorating my flat! Got me booked in with no issues, gave a fantastic quote and got the whole flat done in 3 days! I could not be happier with the professionalism, cleanliness and attention to detail that was done. Worth every single penny. I’ll 1000% be recommending to anyone I know, who says they are looking to have their home painted/decorated.

Excellent work again. Have used Jake several times for inside and outside decorating. Very good at filling cracks so they don't open up again. Always very pleased with outcome and cost.
