"Simon, Thank you for an excellent painting job at our home. Martin & I are starting to enjoy the interior of the house which really felt impossible a few months ago. The house looks brighter and cleaner and more like a Skandi/Nordi minimalist house. I am happy to write a reference for you that you can keep for your files. Thank you for all your work in our home as your painting work has made such a difference. Martin and I really appreciated your thoughtfulness and quietness around our home. No blaring music, no swearing and no 4 hour lunches with unnecessary delays. I also have to say that having you as our house painter has really been a pleasure. I think you take not only a professional approach to your work but you are also very respectful and kind.
A communicative, reliable, responsible, trustworthy, thoughtful style seems to be a dying art in today’s world. If “guilds” from the past were still a thing here, you definitely would be a leader as you are someone who truly understands his “craft” and takes pride in his work. A 2 year guarantee is unheard of when it comes to painting and it is wonderful that you stand behind your workmanship. Martin and I have been very pleased with your work and standards. It has been a real pleasure to get to know you."

Looks fantastic. Absolutely love the "painted cube" kitchen. It is just so much cleaner looking with all the trim, doors and closests painted. A very special thank you for the extras you did along the way, (even watering Morgan's plants!) especially "behind the appliances" cleaning...we could not be happier with the job."
