Internal redecoration of staircases and landings in 3-storey house
Richard had been working at our neighbours on the exterior during in the summer and we had noticed their efficient and organised approach with thorough preparation and high quality finishing. Vears were asked to quote for some work with us and this was quickly managed and acceptable. The internal work progressed very efficiently and thoroughly, whilst keeping disruption to us using the house to a minimum. They cleared up very well at the end of each working day. We are delighted with the outcome and look forward to their return in the spring/summer to undertake some external redecoration.

Excellent decorating service with an eye for detail
Vears undertook a complete interior re-painting job for us. Richard has a real eye for detail, was patient when we were indecisive over colour choices, completed the job to a very high standard and always left our house as clean as could possibly be expected during an ongoing project. You get what you pay for, and we considered the service to be good value given the quality of finish. Highly recommended!

Efficient, professional, friendly
This is the 3rd time we have used Vears Decorating. They did some minor plastering repairs, damp-proofing and repainting in the hall and landing. As with previous work it was done efficiently and carefully, taking care to thoroughly clean up at the end of the day. Highly recommended.

Great overall experience
From the moment we called in Richard to give us a quote for hall, stairs landing and a large bedroom everything went smoothly and to plan. We were able to leave him in charge of the house on the days we had to go out. He arrived on the chosen day at 8.00am sharp and worked solidly each day. He kept us fully informed with regard to what would happen next so that we could "keep out of his way". He took a great deal of trouble to keep carpets etc. properly protected and cleared up each and every night before he went home. All in all it was an exceptionally good experience and the finished job looks wonderful. Richard is a true craftsman with a great eye for detail. I would not hesitate to recommend him for any decorating job. Thanks Richard.

Great job, professional and considerate
Having just had a brand new kitchen fitted we asked Richard, at Vears, to decorate. He visited, quoted, suggested a date and duration for the work. Here we are , work done to a high standard and on time. What was so refreshing was the excellent communication, his tidy and considerate approach to the work and good old fashioned pride in their work. I highly recommend.

Made my house sing again!
Richard and Max decorated my two story house top to bottom (barring one room that I had completed). Richard provided a detailed quote with options. He was very flexible and supportive when I wanted to extend the scope of the job. He and Max were a complete pleasure to have working in the property and were very tidy and made a point of leaving it clean and orderly. They are both hugely skillful, knowledgeable and work quietly but at pace. I'm very happy with the result, they have transformed a tired house into a beautiful happy one that now wears a smile on its face and sings with joy! Richard even delivered the key to the flooring company who were coming in after them. I recommend them with confidence.

Decorating
This complete redecoration of two storey hall, stairs, landings and the kitchen was completed to the highest standard and in a timely manner. Rich and Max are exceptionally skilled, considerate and were a pleasure to have complete this work. I cannot recommend highly enough, if you want a professional job done very well, by a tradesman I felt I could completely trust in the house. The quotation was detailed and thorough and all work was carried out within the agreed price. Rich is an excellent communicator and kept me informed and answered all questions fully and quickly. They even cleaned up after each days work and were tidy and efficient. This was not an easy job with three of us in the house and a cat, but Rich and Max were good humoured and friendly. I will definitely be using them again as am delighted with the finished work.

Exceptional knowledge and attention to detail
From my first meeting with Richard his exceptional knowledge, experience and attention to detail was very evident. It is also obvious that he enjoys his work and takes great pride in doing the best job he can. He, together with Max, has done an absolutely superb job in my home. I couldn’t be happier with how it all looks. I have health problems and they both went out of their way to be kind, helpful and thoughtful, moving furniture and just going that extra mile. They are thoroughly nice people to have around and utterly trustworthy. I wouldn’t dream of using any other decorators after this experience and consider them excellent value for money for the quality of the work.

Redecoration of interior of 5 bedroom property. Work completed to a high standard, on time and in line with the original quote. I was working from home throughout and things were arranged as necessary from day to day to keep the disruption to a minimum. Richard and Max were both really friendly and happy to talk through the day's progress. We're really pleased with the results and are glad we chose to get it done.

Honest, reliable and friendly
Richard has recently completed external work on my house, painting all exterior walls and windows. He and Max were a pleasure to have around. Richard is honest, straightforward, friendly and does a high quality job. He also did all sorts of small additional jobs which I didn't expect, such as cleaning all the windows once he'd finished painting, and fixing some lead flashing. The final invoice was slightly higher than estimated due to the need to apply additional coats of paint (to achieve colour coverage), but I was happy with this and Richard communicated well on it. I had no hesitation in trusting him with access to the house in my absence. They took great care of all areas of the house and I'm very pleased with the end result. I'll definitely be asking Richard to come back for future jobs.

Decorating completed
Richard has now finished decorating the interior of our house (apart from the bathroom, which will be done after its re-fit), an extended job in several stages over the past year. We have had no hesitation in allowing him access if we have been away (which made decorating the kitchen easier for everyone). All his work has been excellent; he comes when he says he will, is unfailingly considerate of our requirements, advises us when necessary, and leaves the work area spotless when he finishes.

Fantastic service from Vears.
I asked Vears to decorate our bedroom a few months ago, they did such a great job that I asked them to come back and decorate our living room, kitchen and hallway. I found Richard and his colleague Tom to be very personable, knowledgeable and trustworthy. Richard was very honest and professional during his initial assessment of the job, he also came up with some great ideas and was very supportive of all our requests throughout the work. Everything was completed on time and to a very high standard. I would definitely recommend Vears if you're thinking of having some decorating done. As they're one of the best in the South West, you'll want to book early as they always seem to be very busy. Thanks Richard and Tom!

Fast high quality workmanship
Vears Decorating Ltd have just completely redecorated my large Victorian house. Richard was a pleasure to work with, and was extremely friendly and approachable. He took time to discuss the project with us, provide us with a timely quote and breakdown for each room, and recommend suitable paints and materials for the work. He was very clear about each stage of the work and the costs involved. He gave us a time frame for the completion of the work, and stuck to it. He and his team worked extremely hard, always turned up for work when they said they would and were tidy and methodical. The standard of finish was very high. I trusted them implicitly. I would definitely use the company again and would highly recommend them to others. Thank you so much Richard.

Exterior painting carried out to a high standard
Vears have just completed painting the woodwork on the front of our house and our garage door. Mr Vear gave us a detailed description of the work which would be done and this was carried out as described. The workmen were very pleasant to deal with and did a careful job. We had to wait a little while for the job to start because of the poor weather earlier in the year but we are very pleased with the finished work.

One of the best decorators and so tidy, polite and clean. Trust them completely in our house.
Vears did our front sitting room- a big room. They stripped all the woodwork down, repainted all the ceilings, took all the wallpaper off, prepared the walls and decorated all the wood panelling. They are the best tradespeople I have ever encountered.
