Decorate the right way
A decorative touch-up is a great way to add value and brighten up a home now the weather is warming and new beginnings are so apparent after a spring clean.
But while stylish new wallpaper, fresh tiling or a colourful splashback might be exactly what’s needed for a home to shine, the work needs to be done properly to avoid added expense later.
Professional decorator Kevin Steel, the owner of Kevin Steel Painters and Decorators, provides decorative work for everything from minor patch-ups to extensive finishing of bathrooms, kitchens, bedrooms and living areas in new builds.
The company’s small team specialises in plastering, painting, wallpapering, tiling and fence staining. For more than 20 years, they have been a trusted partner in helping Cantabrians through the home improvement process.
The diversity of skills available through Kevin Steel Painters and Decorators allows people to avoid having to deal with multiple groups of tradespeople.
‘‘Instead of three contractors, people only have to deal with one, so it’s a lot more convenient,’’ Kevin says.
He notes that DIY can be tempting for homeowners but they run the risk of losing money and time if their experience is lacking. Unexpected issues crop up all the time and it’s not uncommon for him to be called in for a fix, he says.
‘‘Our approach has always been to do it once and do it right. With good preparation and quality workmanship, people can expect the work to last a long time.
‘‘I take a lot of pleasure in helping people transform their homes and each job is done to the highest quality,’’ Kevin says.
‘‘We have a lot of respect for people’s properties and always do a thorough cleanup at the end.’’
Kevin personally oversees all work and is available to consult on design elements such as colours and patterns.
Free quotes are provided for jobs of any size and all work is performed with the cover of full liability insurance.
