Excellent professional job

Steven completely repainted our tenement flat in Edinburgh which transformed it. This consisted of all walls of a 3 bedroom flat, hallway and living room plus all the doors/door frames/window surrounds. He responded quickly to the initial request and provided a quote promptly. He was generous in how flexible he was with the timescale that he could attend to carry out the work and fitted the job in at a time that was convenient for us. The work completed was fabulous. Steven advised what was required and discussed the process throughout, his communication skills are excellent. He is very professional and his work is of a high standard. He has a calm, polite manner, works very quickly and I would definitely recommend his decorating skills.

Have used Steve for a few jobs over the years, and he has always provided a great service. Most recently, Steve completed every room in my flat. From the initial enquiries to the work itself, Steve is professional, and the work he has done in my flat over the years has been of an amazing standard. Nothing is too much trouble, he does what he says he is going to do when he says he is going to do it, and I will continue to use him in the future

Would highly recommend Steve if you are looking for a painter-decorator. We recently had Steve strip the old, painted over wallpaper and repaint our stairway walls and woodwork. He was able to get a good finish on the walls despite the difficult wallpaper and old walls, which I was really impressed with and so happy with the end result. He gave good advice throughout the process and kept us up to date. The job took a few days and every day he left his supplies neatly tucked away and tidied up. I was really happy with his high standard of work. Thank you again!

Without a doubt, Steve is the best painter/decorator I have come across. He helped our decision-making by providing expert advice on the work to be done, and then skilfully repaired/painted walls and all woodwork, including windows, doors, built-in shelving, etc. Not only was his work of excellent quality, but he was also hard-working, attentive to detail, and incredibly punctual. Very calm and polite, Steve has great people skills and can manage pressure. At times, he had to share space with other tradespersons, and again, he was easy-going and supportive. His work was delivered on time and within the agreed budget. I will certainly use Steve again and would highly recommend him to anyone else.

Steve is, without exaggeration, the best tradesperson I have ever hired. He sends quotes when he says he will, arrives when he says he will, and takes immense pride in his work. He is an excellent communicator and brings a "solutions mindset" to every job. I won't hesitate to hire him again, and would warmly recommend him to anyone.

This is the 4th time we’ve used Steve to do a decorating job for us as we’ve always been impressed with the quality of his work. He’s very punctual and professional. I’m pleased how he looked after our property and tidied after his work. He’s also very easy to deal with. I’d highly recommend him to friends and family.

Steve has been my go to decorator for a number of projects I had to complete the last couple of years and he will continue to be. He refreshed all painting in my two bedroom flat before I sold it and he fully decorated the house I purchased after that. The house was an older house and he had to remove the wallpaper, check the condition of the walls, line them and then complete the painting. It was not an easy job but thanks to Steve it was completed with high quality standard! He also painted all the doors and a large closet (all wooden surfaces). Steve pays attention to detail and due to his valued experience he can advice for the best solution. I recommend him unconditionally for a high quality finish and for his professionalism.

I contacted Steve about a painting job, and he got back to me within 24 hours. He was able to drop by to quote a couple of days later, and gave a reasonable price. He gave sensible advice on paint type, too. Steve was able to fit in our one day of painting around his larger jobs, and the work was complete about a week after I first contacted him, which was amazing. We were away during the day and he kept me up to date with how the job was going via text, and touched up a couple of extra bits of trim that I hadn't realized needed it. I was very pleased with the results, and the invoice was sent over quickly, with the total matching the original quote. I would absolutely recommend Steve for anyone needing decorating.

Very good work carried out by this trader. He is friendly, efficient and a very neat worker, tidying up as he went along and was happy to be left alone to complete the work so I didn't have to stay at home the whole time. One room completely decorated in one day. Excellent prices too... I would highly recommend.

Steven did a very professional job painting my bathroom, kitchen and utility rooms. Was a great experience from start to end, and Steven communicated proactively throughout. I have a kitchen with very high ceilings and quite a complex job, but no problem for Steven. Great value and will get him back for more work in future. Highly recommended.

Had Steve decorate our living room previously and was very pleased with his work so we got him to do our upstairs + downstairs hallway and bedroom this time. He was very accommodating with times that suited us, which we really appreciated. We are very happy with his work and he made sure that the place was tidy when he finished. I will be getting Steve again to do our kitchen and downstairs bathroom.

We have used Steve several times since moving to the area 6 years ago. He is our 'go to' for all painting and decorating jobs. Aside from being very good at what he does, Steve is honest and hardworking and we have no issues with leaving him in the house while we are away. A lovely guy, highly recommended.

Steven ended up painting more or less our entire home over the course of a couple months. We’d originally intended to have less work done, but were so happy with his professionalism, attention to detail, and speed that we ended up doing work we’d expected to pace across a year all in more or less one go. Steven is a great communicator able to advise as necessary and sets and meets deadlines better than you expect when having work done. I would highly recommend getting Steven to do any decorating work you have in mind.

We found Steve on Trusted Trader and have been really pleased with all his work. He first did work in autumn 2020 when our flat was empty, decorating our lounge, stairway and 3 bedrooms. He did a great job, really neat painting and importantly was very reliable, coming to quote at an agreed time and doing the work when he had agreed. He prices accurately so you know how much things will cost upfront. He's honest and won't say he can fit you in if he's not got a space, this is great as you know where you stand in terms of timings. After our first chunk of work we booked in with him and he came back and finished all the other rooms (2 bedrooms, kitchen and hallway). We even left him the key and he did the hall and kitchen while we were away. He's a great example of how easy it can be to get work done when you have a tradesperson with skill who's honest and comes when they say they will. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

We found Steve on Which? Trusted Traders and contacted him over email. Right from the start, his communications were professional and helpful. Steve even helped us to get a discount on the paint we wanted from an online retailer. On the day, Steve turned up promptly and got to work. To say he is good at what he does is an understatement, and we were extremely impressed as we watched him go about his work. He is very neat and tidy, and the quality of his work is top-notch. We were delighted at the finished job! We would have no hesitation recommending Steve to others, and if we needed further paintwork in future he would be the first person we called.

Steve came out to paint our extension (which was still plaster). His communication beforehand was excellent and he really put a lot of effort into the job. He had to rectify some of the plaster for us which he was happy to do and got a huge amount of work done in a short space of time. He is very friendly, polite, neat and tidy. His advice on our paint and skirtings was great and he takes pride in the work he does. I would not hesitate to use Steve again.

I contacted Steve after hearing good things about his work from my parents, they said he was honest, reliable, does the job well and leaves the areas clean and tidy so I thought perfect. I contacted him to come and repaint my hall. He was professional, efficient, extremely tidy and does much more than just throw on some paint, he uses quality equipment and materials and every speck of dust is gone when he leaves. I have had him to price upstairs, competitively priced and worth every penny.
