What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Across Portsmouth, the work that recurs most in feedback covers interior and exterior decorating, from whole-room schemes and stairway walls to a bedroom feature wall and the restoration of old French doors that had weathered for decades. Dave and Jack are named repeatedly, described as easy to talk to, professional and punctual, arriving when arranged and keeping customers informed throughout. Tidiness comes up often, with coverings put down, sockets and light fittings handled with care, and each day ending with the site left clean. Pricing is set out clearly before work starts, quotations are turned around quickly and questions are answered without fuss.

Wallpapering features alongside painting, colour choice is discussed beforehand, and one account notes that a top quality paint was supplied at the customer's request. The standard of the finish is the point mentioned most, whether in a conservatory, a rental property or on an exterior, and the care given to preparation and detail is singled out as a strength. Communication from the first enquiry through to completion is described as prompt and straightforward, and the finished rooms and outside surfaces are consistently reported as looking excellent, with Jack and Dave both credited for the results.

Would definitely recommend Stark & Son. We had the had exterior of our house painted and they done a great job. The bay was in a bad state and now looks like new. Really pleased with the result!

We had the exterior of our house painted and it was completed to a high standard despite the difficult heat conditions. The house looks great and was left in a clean and tidy state. Would definitely recommend.

We recently used the services of Dave and Jack from a recommendation and we were not disappointed. The work to the front of the house was untaken in a timely manner as planned with excellent results. The house is almost 90 years old and the bays have taken a battering from the weather over the years, they now look almost new! We were pleased with the pricing and were given good value for money. I would not hesitate to use them again and that may be soon. Both really friendly and respectable to property.

Stark & Son have been decorating rooms in my home over a period of months. The rooms look amazing and the attention to detail is a strength of the work. Dave works efficiently and carefully. Can thoroughly recommend .

We recently had Stark & Son decorate 4 rooms in our home, 2 bedrooms and 2 offices, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Jack handled everything from the initial enquiry through to booking and was fantastic throughout. He came to quote quickly, turned the quote around fast, answered all our questions and got the job booked in without any fuss. Communication was professional and efficient at every step. Ian carried out the work and did an outstanding job. The standard of finish was extremely high, with clean lines and great attention to detail around fixtures and fittings. He kept everything tidy throughout and communicated clearly with us during the project to make sure the work was being completed exactly to our expectations. The results speak for themselves. We would not hesitate to recommend Stark & Son, and we are already planning to have them back to decorate the rest of our home.
