I decided this time that it might be more cost/time effective to get from professional decorators to paint our bedroom as it's pretty large.
After the first day I noticed a number of blobs/flecks on the walls but checked with him that he was coming back to them. He said that it had been a gloomy day so the light wasn't very good but he'd go over them again. I did innocently ask him if he used lamps - he said "No". This sort of seemed an fair question to me - it's what I would have done if I couldn't see very well. Is it reasonable for him to use poor light as an excuse?
Just got home this evening to find that the wood work has now been "prep'ed" and painted with eggshell (one coat or two I'm not sure) The paint seems awfully thick and has dripped slightly in couple of places. I'm certainly no expert but I've never seen eggshell so shiny. Is this due to it being painted on so thick? The finish isn't as good as I we'd initially agreed - it seems likes he's in a rush.
Am I being overly picky here, I've always just sort of done it myself and presumed a professional would be able to get a better finish than I could?
