George has been painting Sydney homes for close to twenty years, starting out on his own across Coogee, Maroubra, Bondi and Marrickville before setting up Alpha Projects NSW in Miranda. When you ring for a quote, you're talking to him, and he's the one who turns up to look at the job and the one who's on site until it's finished.

He takes the prep seriously because that's what decides how long a paint job lasts. Walls get patched and sanded, edges get taped properly, and furniture and floors get covered before a tin is opened. You get a clear written quote, a start date he sticks to, and a place left cleaner than he found it.
