We were planning on doing the painting ourselves as we have done quite a lot of it on the past and are confident that we will do a good job - and this would obviously save cash! However, not sure how quickly we are going to be able to complete it as the whole house (including ceilings, prep-work) requires painting. So we're thinking it may actually end up being more efficient to pay a pro. In saying that, I have heard about and seen first hand some pretty ordinary jobs completed by supposed professionals and am seeking recommendations - someone who won't rip me off (of course I understand that you do get what you pay for - it's when you pay and don't get it that is the issue!) and will do a thorough job and not try to cut corners that will cost more in the long run. Any experience in Adelaide?

Any experience in Adelaide? G'day, yep I know how you feel and given we were in a rush to have our home painted in 7 days prior to moving in we had the same concerns and issues. Our job included ceilings, covering over 5 ghastly looking feature walls, all other walls, cornice, skirting boards, all decorative timbers. Every room in a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom home - the joblot required paint! We had to move into the house in 7 days and didn't have the time to do it ourselves, as we've done in the past. We consulted a few alleged "pro's" who scared us with some wild and fanciful quotations until we found Damien and his son. Their work ethic is tremendous, their completed work was/is fantastic and the job was completed dead on time and bang on budget, as per the quote. They used very good name brand paints, their quote was more than reasonable and cheaper than we expected. All in all, we couldn't be happier. I recommend him to everyone now. Damien's number is 0431 355 683. Building a new home, and looking for a garage builder (home builder not contracted to do this).
