What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

A consistent theme running through the feedback for this Sunderland decorating business is the standard of workmanship and the care taken with preparation. Gary Marsh and his team are described by regular clients as professional and skilled, with attention to detail that extends from protecting floors and furniture through to the final finish. Reviewers frequently mention how tidy the team is, clearing up during and after each job, and several note the absence of mess or paint runs.

The quality of painting and wallpapering is praised, including a feature bedroom wall in a difficult pattern that was hung without visible joints, alongside walls, ceilings, interior and exterior rendering and doors. Advice on products and suitable finishes for a given surface comes up repeatedly, as does the team's friendly and considerate manner when working in occupied homes.

Reliability and communication are highlighted by long-standing customers who have returned over many years for projects inside and outside the property. Gary's colleague is not often named individually, but the wider team is described as hardworking and cooperative. Long-term clients speak of booking further work and having every room in a house decorated, pointing to a service built on repeat custom and consistent results.

I have worked with Gary on three occasions now and two further jobs are booked in. Excellent quality workmanship and impeccable attention to detail on prep and a tidy clean environment whilst working as-well as after the work is complete. Highly recommend Gary and the team !

Absolutely over the moon with the work done on my house. He treated my home like his own — careful, respectful, and incredibly tidy. The finish is beautiful, the colours look perfect, and the whole place feels fresh and transformed.What really stood out was how easy he was to work with. Great communication, honest advice, and nothing was too much trouble. You don’t often find tradespeople who combine skill, reliability, and pride in their work like this.I’d recommend him in a heartbeat.

We have used Gary and his team for many years for both interior and exterior work. Interior included wall papering a feature bed room wall with an unforgiven pattern as we expected an excellent job was carried out no joints visible at all. Quality of finishing painting walls and ceilings in another bedroom was perfect. There is no mess no gloss paint runs. Very Pleased.

Highly recommended, first class preparation, all furniture and flooring well covered over. Professional service from beginning to end. Arrives promptly, very trustworthy and most of all a different quality of decorating and wallpaper hanging. Quality products is worth paying the extra…. 👍🏻👍🏻
