The capital packs a third of the country's population into Georgian terraces, red-brick Victorian suburbs, sprawling 20th-century estates and a wave of new apartments. Space is tight, period stock is old, and planning rules are strict.

What Dublin homeowners hire painters & decorators for

They handle interior repaints, exterior masonry and woodwork, wallpapering and specialist finishes. Good prep and cutting-in are what separate a professional job from a DIY one.
