If you’re going to decorate your home, it needs to be done to a high standard in order to look good. It’s pointless changing the décor unless it’s going to make a real aesthetic improvement. Therefore, you’re going to want someone qualified to carry out the work for you.
If you’ve had any work done previously, get back in touch with the people who did it. Even if they’re no longer in business or are too busy to complete the job themselves, they may be able to recommend someone.
Alternatively, go on other people’s recommendations. Real-life recommendations are better than internet reviews as these may not be genuine. If people you know have been happy with the work they’ve had done, ask them for details.
When you hire someone to do any kind of decorating work within your home, make sure that you have an agreement beforehand. This will protect you and your home and is a sensible step to take. Draw up a contract and agree between you when they want to be paid for the job. Be wary of people who want paying upfront, though it’s reasonable to expect to pay in instalments for big jobs.
