"I contacted Mathew at Seriously Painting to provide a quote for my interior painting project. Mathew returned my call the same day and came to my home following all COVID protocols and was so helpful in helping me select colours and provided so much more information on interior painting in general. I highly recommend Seriously Painting and even though my interior project involved my whole house, Mathew and his team made sure to make the whole process as easy, comfortable and livable as possible."
"Thank you Seriously Painting!"
