We have found his service to be outstanding and we are so grateful for the time and effort he has put into painting our home. Jim has been extremely patient with me as I made my final decisions on colours. He has made some really helpful suggestions on using different tones in spaces I had not even thought of. Jim has been a big part in creating the warm inviting home we had imagined. We would 100% recommend Jim and his team to anyone looking for an honest and reliable painter with modern ideas and a great smiling face on site to have a chat to!"}},"ReviewAsset:cktfw1y24000509l9eykjetr8":{"id":"cktfw1y24000509l9eykjetr8","__typename":"ReviewAsset","reviewId":"cktfw1xzt000309l9di0t37fw","url":"https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/ls-asset-service/cktfvyr1f000009jwaykgdct1/cktfvyr1g000109jwdobw5s2g","review":{"__typename":"Review","rating":5,"displayName":"Addil Raymond Terrace","message":"From July 2021 this store is now under new management.
