Every home needs a refresh from time to time. Maybe you’ve had shelves taken down or your walls are full of holes. Maybe the colour has faded and the place feels tired. Or maybe you’ve moved in and want to make the house your own. That is when most people start searching for a recommended painter and decorator.
The trouble is that not every decorator lives up to expectations. Some turn up late, drag jobs out, or add extra costs at the end. Others cut corners and leave a poor finish. It is why so many homeowners ask friends, neighbours, or online groups for names they can trust.
Carlo Picasso Decorators stand out because we are recommended time and again. We are not only approved by trade bodies but also spoken for by our customers. That makes us both highly recommended and easy to recommend to others.
Why People Ask for Painter and Decorator Recommendations
If you browse online forums or Reddit threads, you’ll see the same type of comment: “Looking for someone reliable, not over expensive.” People want good work, fair prices, and decorators who turn up when they say they will.
These requests are often driven by bad experiences. Jobs left half done. Paint peeling after a few months. Trades not returning calls. Nobody wants to risk that again.
That’s why social proof matters. Carlo Picasso Decorators are TrustMark registered, members of Dulux Select Decorators since 2017, and winners of “Most Trusted” awards in 2020 and 2022. We also have dozens of client testimonials praising our reliability and attention to detail. These things prove that when people recommend us, it comes from experience.
How to Choose a Painter and Decorator
When someone asks how to choose a painter and decorator, there are a few simple checks that make a big difference. Independent accreditations such as Dulux Select or TrustMark show that the decorator has been assessed and approved by a recognised body.
A guarantee is another sign of reliability. Carlo Picasso Decorators provides a two-year workmanship guarantee that is underwritten by Dulux, giving real cover for the work carried out. Insurance is essential as well. Public liability cover protects your home if something goes wrong, which is why we always make sure ours is up to date.
Reading real reviews and looking at project photos is also useful. Past work gives the clearest idea of the finish you can expect. You can see what our happy and satisfied clients are saying here on our Testimonials page.
Finally, a clear written quote with no hidden extras avoids disputes later. Before hiring, it is sensible to ask direct questions such as whether the work is guaranteed, whether insurance is in place, whether you can see recent examples of jobs, and exactly what is included in the quote. These checks help avoid the common frustrations that send people searching for new recommendations.

How to Recommend a Painter and Decorator
Many homeowners also want to know how to recommend a painter and decorator to others. Online groups and community forums are full of posts where people write “painter-decorator needed.”
If you have had a good experience, the best way to recommend someone is to share more than just a name. Giving their contact details and linking to official profiles such as Dulux Select or TrustMark makes the recommendation stronger. Showing a photo of the finished job also helps, as pictures speak louder than words.
Even a short comment can be effective when it is specific, such as “the job was finished on time, the house was left tidy, and the price was fair.” Honest and simple feedback like this is what others look for when making their choice.
