Report
We had the exterior of our house painted and carpentry work to create new canopies for windows and replace damaged weatherboards and other wood rot. Very happy with the work. Very professional and skilled team of people. Many thanks to Mario who looks after painting services for His prompt response to any queries and concerns. Thanks to Tony, who was there painting from start to finish and his assistants Amy, Emma and Jake for doing a great job. We were also grateful that we were allowed to change the colour scheme as soon as we saw the first coat and realised it was not right. Many thanks to

Report
MJ Harris (Glenn and Jake) painted the exterior of our house. They were unfailingly timely, polite, trustworthy and hard working. I know next to nothing about painting, but even to me it was clear that the workmanship was outstanding. We would never have put the level of effort in that they did. We absolutely got what we paid for!

Report
When I needed to find someone to paint the exterior of our house a neighbour recommended MJ Harris. So I gave them a call and asked them to quote along with some other painters. One of the other painters told me that my job was too big for him and that I should give MJ Harris a call as "they are doing great work in your area". That's 2 recommendations, one from a previous client and one from a competitor. Here is the third:
MJ Harris got the job and I could not be more delighted with the result. They turned up on time every day, were courteous, polite, respectful, helpful and went above and beyond
