I found Deb through the Home Stars, She had the highest rating end the best recommendations. The reviews said she is hard to book because she is always busy, I tried and I was lucky. Deb's task was to repaint my newly purchased condo. It is 3 bedroom, approximately 1000sqf. The condo was painted recently and the colors were dark and earthy. I do not want anything dark ! The winter in Calgary lasts for 6 months!! There is no need for more darkness - no matter how trendy it is nowadays !!! I wanted my walls yellow and beige.
That was a very nice dream. When it came to the practical steps, there were two quite big challenges. First, it is always harder to go from dark color to the lighter one. Second, the original paint on my walls was not "cured" properly from the last painting, which made Deb's job even harder, because the old color kept coming out even after using the type of paint that usually works very well. Deb needed to paint those walls 3-4 times. That does not happen very often. She handled her job with the top professionalism. She needed more paint compare to the original estimate. She asked me the permission if she can purchase more paint. She spent 2 more days to make my condo to look perfect. Most surprisingly she did not charge me an extra labor for those 2 extra days !!!! And I must mention, that even her original price was very reasonable . (also, as far as I know she even started to work at 6 am on one of those days !!!)
The condo looks great and If I will ever need to do painting again, I will definitely book Deb.
WARNING: Seriously guys, hurry up with booking her. I booked her in the beginning of November (that is far away from high season) and 2-3 days after I booked her, she was booked almost for the rest of the month....
...a little gossip - Deb does not use the masking tape. All her painting is with free hand..Unbelievable !!! She would make a good surgeon with such precision....
