We chose Slawomir as he had very good reviews on this site, he was quick to respond and available to start next day, was very friendly and professional and he gave us one of the better quotes for painting entirely our 2 bedroom apartment(doors and skirtings included). He did an excellent job, payed attention to details and was very clean and tidy. Made the whole process hassle free for us, advised on and bought the paints and did small extra touches. Really happy with the results so we highly recommend his painting service.

Swav's attention to detail is second to none and his work clearly shows this. We had him paint our whole house and could not be happier, it feels and looks like a brand new house now. A 2 minutes conversation with Swav is enough to tell he's the real deal and the man to get in if you want the job done to the highest standards. Professional, polite and diligent - I couldn't recommend his services more.

I can't recommend Swav enough. He recently painted our stairs, hallway, living room and 2 bedrooms. He is a perfectionist in the best way possible. His preparation and work is meticulous, he also gave us great advice on colours and paints to use.
We had pine doors, banister and balusters and he completely transformed them.
I do also need to mention the excellent work he did patching and prepping our hall panels, which had not been completed to the best standard (by a different contractor)
Excellent work

Thanks a mill Collette :) It was a pleasure to meet you and get the job done. Have a great Christmas time! Regards, Swav.
When a painter understands exactly what needs to be done and executes the job beyond your expectations - that was my experience with Swav. Nothing is too difficult for him, or impossible. My house was a pretty big challenge as it had several very dark frescos that had to be covered and I wanted the rooms to be light. Patiently and minutely, he went over the frescos with several layers (the number of which couldn't be determined ahead of time) of primer and then paint, at no additional costs. He fixed holes and cracks, suggesting a few other little things that I hadn't even asked for, and that made the house look so much better! Swav's positive energy and contagious smile in addition to his impeccable skills, turned the whole undertaking of the renovation into a very pleasant adventure. I would highly recommend Swav, anytime.

I am impressed with the exceptional work Swav did on our 70s bungalow located in Meath. Our walls and ceilings were once riddled with cracks, but thanks to Swav's expertise, they now look as good as new. Even after six months have passed since the project's completion, there is no indication of the cracks resurfacing.
I highly recommend Swav for his excellent workmanship.

I hired Swav to paint my very neglected hall, stairs, landing and bathroom. It's a very old house with lots of imperfections but Swav worked his magic and has completely transformed the areas.
He is so professional and reliable-and an excellent painter with a meticulous attention to detail.
Oh and he had so much patience dealing with my indecision on colors and took the time to help me pick the perfect color which I don't think I will ever tire of looking at!
He even left me extra leftover paint which I can use for top ups if I ever need to.
Without question you won't be sorry hiring Swav. I'll never do a DIY paint job again now that I found him.
Thanks Swav!

Swav recently painted a rental property for me at very short notice. He did an excellent job and worked through the weekend as he knew I was under pressure to get the house finished before my tenant moved in. I would highly recommend Swav to anyone looking to get there house painted.

Swav worked a miracle on my landing and stairs, It is an old house with many signs of long life. He filled up many bad areas on the walls and ceilings and treated all the surfaces professionally before painting. He provided great colour advice and always found time to explain and answer any questions. I can not recommend Swav highly enough. His attention to detail, professionalism, his ability to communicate, colour advice all made him so nice to deal with. It was a pleasure having him in the house, he was so clean and tidy.
Thank you Swav

Swav transformed our recently purchased house into a new home, everything shines and looks brand new. He painted all ceilings, walls and woodwork. He filled up any holes and even replastered a wall for us, providing all the treatment and care everything needed before applying the paint. There is no rush job here, attention to detail and always provides great advice on colours and paint type. He even humoured me with trying a colour that he felt wouldn't work, he was right but showing that willingness to let the client see for themselves was needed so we could quickly make the change without living in regret helped immensely.
Very easy to deal with and always willing to help and advise. Thanks again Swav.

Comment from Swav Painting & Decorating:
Thank you Gerard, 2nd hand house is always tricky since you don't know which way was build.. Many the times lack of bounding compound or any short cuts made on site = trouble in the future. All can be fixed and done of course, but specific way of evaluating properties before purchase should be in place.. maybe one day in Ireland :) Enjoy your Christmas time with family. Swav.

Swav worked on multiple jobs in our house: the landing, the attic / wood work, the stair railing and kitchen. We appreciated his attention to detail, respect of deadline, strong communication, advice on color and support in testing several options while adapting to our needs and budget.
We had an issue with the quality of the Vogue paint and Swav was a real problem solver on this, calling the company and ultimately working more to deliver the outstanding job he committed to.
We're very pleased with the work done and would strongly recommend Swav to anyone!

Swav has completed 3 interior painting projects for me, 2 rental properties and my home. His work is excellent and I will be using him for my next painting project. His attention to detail and colour recommendations are second to none. During each project he sent me daily updates and photos of the progress being made. Both rental properties required some repair work and everything was finished to a very high standard. I was very impressed with all of the work and the time scale in which it was completed

Swav transformed our living room just before our daughters wedding. I highly recommend this guy. He is a professional painter and his attention to detail is perfection. He has a good word, he came when I asked him and got it finished when he said he would. I admire his professionalism and he is such a friendly, easy guy to have around the place. He left the house perfect. I can't recommend him enough. Thank you Swav..

Based upon the finish he made of our neighbour's house, we employed Swav to clean, repair and paint the outside of our own property.
He not only made a first rate job of it, he did so in a timely and efficient manner.
We found Swav to be friendly, very well organised and have an excellent work ethic.
We would have no hesitation in recommending him to others

When it comes to Swav what you see is not what you get. You get more!
As a person he is a gentleman and as a perfectionist he is a pure artist.
He won't be shy to give you his direct opinion and a very educated honest one.
He is very tidy and professional and he is always welcome in our home and my parents home of which he has done numerous jobs for.

Swav painted the interior of the house in June 2019. All walls, ceilings, doors, skirting and window sills were painted to the highest standard, some of which required some fixing prior to paint. Swav worked excellently with us to get the colour we wanted on the walls

I cannot recommend Swav highly enough. He is a very clean, efficient and a highly professional painter. Prior to painting the house he cleaned and filled in any cracks that were visible. He showed me different samples and we finally agreed on a colour. He arrived early every morning and worked hard all day. The quality of the finish is superb. Thanks again for a wonderful job.

I hired Swav to repaint the entire exterior of my house. The job was done quickly and without delay as I had to move in to the new house in a few days and he did an excellent job on the house. He also did a few touch ups inside the house as well and the work done was great.
