McDonald Painting Contractors Ltd.

We were new to the area so entered into discussions with several tradespeople with no small amount of trepidation. We have a Victorian house that has needed a lot of work and have engaged many trades over that past 12 months. We've had some terrible experiences, some mediocre experiences and then there was Sean and his team. What a breath of fresh air. There is clear blue water between Sean and his team, and all the other trades we have dealt with for the following reasons: - Communication: one might think it's not rocket science but believe me, it appears to be so. Sean's communication is clear as day. Pricing is clear and discussed up front, timelines are clear and there has never been a day where we have been let down. Sean is always around to have a discussion about any aspect of what the team is doing. He also gives great advice. - Responsiveness: these guys listen (and I mean really listen) and react accordingly. - Flexibility: I have changed my mind on a number of occasions and Sean and the team are always accommodating and professional. They are open to change and I have never felt uncomfortable (even when I asked them to repaint an entire bookcase in a difference colour and changed my mind about a staircase with no notice). - Quality: the finish is great. The walls here are lumpy and the work has been (I imagine) pretty gruelling at times. But the finish is great. All our friends who have visited the house have consistently commented on the quality of the paintwork and the wallpapering. We have been approached by passers-by to compliment us on the exterior paint finish too. - Attitude: last but not least is the approach of the team. It sounds like an ancillary point but when you have decorators in your house almost permanently for in excess of 6 months it's important that you feel comfortable. The guys have been amazing. They are respectful of the house, they work diligently and they have been great with a pair of overly loquacious small children. I am totally happy to leave them in the house, as we did when we went on holiday in the summer. I'm delighted to say that we will be sticking with Sean and his team to finish the house and into the future. I would recommend them without hesitation.

I recently moved into a house that really needed some TLC to the outside. Finding tradespeople is a nerve wracking process but Sean was professional, always turned up on time, gave me honest advice and had no hidden costs. The work to the outside of the house was brilliant and I would 10/10 use this company again without worry. I work at home and was really impressed with his team, they were polite, professional and really made an effort to cause the least disruption they could. Service: Exterior painting

We had Sean and the team in over a period of 6 months redecorating our Georgian farm house, top to bottom, inside and out, as part of a major renovation project. Fantastic preparation, finish and all round attention to detail. Nothing was too much trouble and it was an absolute pleasure having each and every member of the team in our house even for such a long period. The whole team are trustworthy, reliable, quality tradesmen and provide great value for money. Highly recommend! Services: Exterior painting, Interior painting, Door painting, Cabinet painting

I run a medium-sized building company covering North Wales and Cheshire. Sean and his team have been my painting subcontractors since 2016. Weve done countless extensions and loft conversions together. For every job, Sean always agrees a start date, turns up on time and is organised and ready to go. His teams painting is second to none and I wouldnt hesitate in recommending him to others. I hope we continue to work together for many years to come. Mark - Aspect Woodworks LTD.

We had new MDF wardrobes painted. The guys turned up promptly everyday. They did a fantastic job and were clean and quiet while we worked next door. Would highly recommend M&R. Service: Cabinet painting
