Exterior Painting

Gareth and Liam did a great job painting the exterior of our house. They were friendly and professional- all around good people! They were clean and were very thorough. They did a lot of prep and offered a lot of great tips for painting. Carol was very accommodating and communicated very well throughout the entire process. We were very happy to support this great family business.

Repeat happy customer

We've had the pleasure of having Gareth and his team in numerous times over the past decade. From ceiling paint and repair to full floors of our home, Gareth and his team are punctual, tidy and easy to have around. I would absolutely use them again, for either interior or exterior work. Top notch!

Exterior trim and interior kitchen

Gareth and his son Liam did a terrific job painting exterior trim on our 1910 heritage house and the interior of our kitchen and dining room. We had used them twice before on interior jobs, and received just as excellent service this time. Indeed, Gareth went beyond the call of duty in painting historic wooden escutcheons attached to our front porch by removing them carefully and then replacing them. This is so the darker green colour of the escutcheon would stand out clearly against the white of the porch. He also repaired some rotted wood on the exterior with metal and made a baseboard repair in the kitchen. These folks take great pride in the work, and Gareth as a good feel for design and colour. When we eventually sell the house we'll go back again for a fourth time for staging. You cannot miss with this team, though you'll have to wait for them!

Porch painting

I would highly recommend The English Painter. Gareth is a consummate professional, and both he and his wife. Carol are great to work with and very accommodating. Gareth is a perfectionist, and that shows in the quality of his work. I would definitely hire them again.

Serious people. Doing amazing work m

English painter is run by Gareth. A man that will give you amazing service, a high quality product and he will not stop there. The man is my number one asset. At my home.
He does kitchen cabinets now and I’m looking forward to that work.
He’s cost effective and plain savvy.
Run from the others.

Excellent work on exterior painting

Gareth and team did an amazing job on a much-needed exterior paint job on my home. They were able to match the colour perfectly, and were finished the job in just a few short hours. The setup was also seamless and the team is very friendly and easy to work with. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a quality painter.

Painting Kitchen Cabinets

We hired Gareth to spray paint our kitchen cabinets. We are so happy we did. This is a family owned business that knows how to take care of their customers. Carol was a delight to work with and made organizing the job details a breeze.

We have used other painting services in the past and they cannot compare to the skill, professionalism, attention to detail and good old fashioned customer service that is so hard to find these days.

We were so pleased we hired them to paint the outside brick on our 100 year old home. We feel very comfortable recommending them to family and friends.
