What Dumfries Homeowners Say About Our Painting & Decorating Specialists
Lining-paper-and-paint scheme on the original lath-and-plaster of our Dumfries 4-bed detached. Two-coat masonry paint on the front elevation, breathable mineral system. Quote of £4132 held to the penny. Old paint disposed of properly via WEEE-compliant routes.
Compared four painters in Dumfries through BestBuilders. Selected on the depth of the spec - 11 line items versus the cheapest at 3. Crack repair properly raked out and reinforced with mesh tape - won't come back. Final invoice £3970. Brush-and-roller marks invisible - properly skimmed finish before painting.
Eight months in and the new chalky-matt finish still cleans beautifully. Painter we found via BestBuilders in Dumfries argued for a fully chalky matt rather than vinyl matt - genuinely better for ambient light. Total £4508. Looks better than when the property was first viewed.
