What painters & decorators do

Painters and decorators do far more than apply colour — the real value is in preparation: filling, sanding, caulking and priming so the finish lasts and looks clean. 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.
