Rated 4.9 by Manchester homeowners
“From the first visit to the final walk-round, Paintivo were brilliant. Seven rooms in eight days, dust sheets everywhere and spotless every evening. The finish on the woodwork is better than new.”
“Our three-storey hallway had defeated two other decorators. Mike and Aman set up a proper platform, worked safely and the result is stunning. Fair, fixed price and they finished a day early.”
“They repaired the render, painted the whole house and every window. Communication was excellent and the house looks brand new from the street. Highly recommend.”
