Jake Donald Painter & Decorator

Jake and his team completed a difficult job for me thoroughly and to my satisfaction. I am happy to recommend him for the high standard of his work.

I was impressed with Jake when he came to quote for decorating our lounge / diner. He talked us through what needed doing and how he would accomplish this.
Very pleased with the quality of work and professionalism of Jake and his assistant.
Very friendly and helpful and I have no hesitation in recommending him.

Job done in Duddingston

Good work done at a fair price and arrived when expected and good communicator. Jake was pleasant to deal with and very fair about rectifying a fault with one part of the job. This is a valuable feature in any work, namely if things don't go perfectly how the problem is handled, which I would rate as excellent. Would use him again and was impressed by his skills and attitude.

Great to deal with, one job went fine, the other had a problem but he was quick to rectify which is all you can hope for, really happy with the service.

Jake quoted for painting the hall and second bedroom in our rental flat. Communication was excellent from the start and he was pleasant to work with. The work itself was completed in amazing time and to a very high standard. The flat was left neat and tidy after the end of the job. I would certainly recommend him to friends and family.

We’ve known Jake for many, many years and always found him to be the complete professional. When we decided to decorate our entire house from top to bottom we had no hesitation in making contact with Jake who in turn visited us very promptly to discuss and consider our ideas. He provided us with a very detailed and comprehensive estimate within a couple of days along with a schedule which covered a four week programme. Work started at the beginning of the year.

The work was completed fully to our expectations and requirements. The quality of work was first class and every aspect always discussed in advance. A four week programme is pretty intense for both parties but we all saw it through with the minimum of fuss and stress.

Nothing is too much bother and it’s the attention to the little details that make the difference.

Jake, and his team, Dan and Graham are all first rate tradesmen and we would have no hesitation in recommending this team for any job, large or small.

We had a decorating problem following some repairs on roof and ceiling, and urgently needed expert help.
Mr Donald arrived the same day we called, quickly assessed the problem, gave us reassuring advice and the benefit of his experience , and he and his assistant Daniel started fixing the problem the same afternoon.
The job was swiftly completed and we are extremely happy with the finished work.
We can heartily recommend this speedy, professional and courteous team.

Jake and his team prepared and lined the walls in my living room. He was very easy to communicate with, professional and reliable. He was also very knowledgable and was happy to give me lots of advice for future work I'm doing which was really appreciated.

The walls weren't in the best shape, but now look flawless. I'm really pleased with the work carried out and would definitely recommend to anyone.

Very happy with the service provided by Jake and the guys. They were very professional and did an excellent job of painting my hall and bathroom. They tidied up thoroughly after the job and nothing I asked for was too much bother. Highly recommend.

Jake and his team painted the front of my house and also my main bedroom. He turned up on time and was helpful, including helping me change the colour of the exterior paint after they'd started work. Jake was happy to correct any issues I'd spotted and I am happy with the end result.

Jake and his team painted the exterior of my Salon earlier this year and I was absolutely delighted with the result. Jake is without question helpful reliable and very professional. Would highly recommend.

We were delighted with Jake’s service from start to finish. He is very professional, honest and trustworthy and communicates very clearly. Both he and his apprentice did an excellent job painting our windows and masonry. We would absolutely use him again and would highly recommend him to others.

I have had my Salon for 20 plus years and can honestly say that Jake is the most professional reliable efficient painter I have had. Does an excellent job and offers advice if needed. Would definitely recommend

Jake and his team pained our outside windows. They were very professional from start to finish and have done all the work to an excellent standard. Highly recommended.

Jake was recommended to me, was given a competitive quote, date for work starting and time scale for job, Jake and his team arrived when they said and work was completed ahead of schedule, would definitely have this team back again, very good painters and really nice crew

Jake painted my hall, living room, staircase & landing while I was on holiday. He is reliable, clean and tidy & very easy to get on with. His detail to work is nothing less than perfection (which of course is very important to me). Very pleased with the excellent finish on my return. Will certainly contact Jake again for any future jobs.

We have now had Jake in to decorate twice - repeat business says it all! Excellent work, even sanding walls and ceilings to get smooth finish. I cannot fault his work in any way. In addition, Jake and Dan arrive on time, clean up afterwards, and are polite and cheerful at work. Price not cheap but excellent value! I'd highly recommend Jake if you want great quality work.

I never go with the lowest quotation. This was not the lowest quotation but was not the highest. I look, first and foremost, for high quality workmanship, professionalism, a conscientious approach and excellent reviews. These high expectations were met in full by Jake Donald. Jake painted all external surfaces of our detached 1952 home. All roughcast walls, garage doors, front doors, upper floor dormers and front gates were painstakingly and thoroughly prepared (the secret to all quality finishes) prior to application of appropriate metal protective coatings or undercoats followed by two or three coats of paint as required. The look and feel of the finished job is excellent. Jake took his time to ensure that every line and every border was true. All paint used was high quality Dulux Weathershield and which will provide long term protection. My wife and I are over the moon with how this work has transformed the look of our home. I will be asking Jake Donald Painter & Decorator to return at some point in the future to carry out further home improvements. Thank you, Jake.

I had Jake prepare and paint the gutters, downpipes, fascias and soffits of the house. He arrived on time and did a great job. I would efinately use him again.

Excellent level of service from a polite and courteous team at my elderly mother's house. Turned up when they said they would, kept in contact, did the work that was agreed to a very good standard. Would highly recommend Jake to anyone who needs a painter. Would definitely use his skills again.
