Mal came to us and estimated the job. We agreed. The he came with his assistant. They worked fast and very clean. The part of the room they replaced the wallpaper looks very nice now. Thanks

Excellent work and attention to detail! Mal did a fantastic job painting our two rooms and installing a wallpaper mural. The paint job was clean and even, with careful attention to edges and trim work. The wallpaper mural installation was particularly impressive - it’s perfectly aligned and smooth with no visible seams or air bubbles. He was professional, punctual, and left the work area clean each day. The final result exceeded our expectations and we’d definitely hire them again for future projects. Highly recommended!

Mal is my go-to person for my wallpaper needs. This is the second home that Mal has done for me. He is meticulously and methodical and his attention to detail is what allows him to install very straight forward wallpaper cuts with ease and speed and the most intricate patters with double cuts with precision and care. I will keep using Mal’s services for the rest of the house. Thank you Mal!
