Exterior Painting

Walter and Monique did a splendid job painting some exterior parts of our house. They were professional and provided good advice/tips on how best to address things. I would highly recommend going with Decorating with a Difference. In fact, we are considering having our back deck stained and if/when that decision is made, we will certainly be going with them again.

Ceiling Painted

Walter and his team did an excellent job painting my ceilings. They protected all of my belongs by covering everything. They were efficient and very skilled at what they do. They cleaned up afterwards and put everything back in its place. I would highly recommend Decorating With a Difference for any painting job. They also do faux finishing. Walter painted a sky and clouds on a friend's ceiling and it was lovely. That's why I picked them to come and do mine.

Amazing work and friendly service

We are so pleased with our newly painted ceiling.
Walter was very friendly and professional, and the project did not take long at all. He even took the time to go above and beyond what we asked for.
We would highly recommend his services! Look no further :)
