Mel was simply amazing. I knew by talking to him over phone and seeing his work that I wanted to work w him. He’s not only extremely talented but also professional, direct and communicative. I’m extremely happy with the wallpapers he put up for me. I’ll def be using Mel again for a couple of other rooms I’ll be doing wallpapers. Thank you Mel!

We booked Mal to put up wallpaper in our upstairs bathroom, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. He totally transformed the space!

He was professional, punctual, and very communicative.

If you are looking for someone who has a lot of knowledge in this area (he can paint too!), Mal is your guy. We will definitely be having him back in the future!
