What Clients Say

L. and G. Sawyer
5/5

We are very pleased to offer a high recommendation for the work done by Ray Grieves. He is a talented painter and a good craftsman. Ray has painted two of our homes in the past five years and built us a wine room. We have recommended Ray’s services to our neighbours and everyone has been extremely pleased with his professional repair work. We recently had Ray back to repair some damaged gyprock caused by the installation of new thermostats, which were smaller than the originals. It is impossible to identify the repaired area of gyprock. The paint was matched to perfection. Having had Ray paint one of our homes with all the furniture in it, we can testify to his cleanliness and orderly approach to the job. You won’t regret using Ray Grieves.
