We have been very pleased with Dave's professionalism and excellent communication, we have had a number of jobs done this year, from putting up curtain rails and fixing fences to exterior carpentry and decorating, would highly recommend him and will no doubt be using DFP again in the future.

DFP Building Services Ltd successfully rectified work on an extractor fan that 4 previous firms had failed to do. In early June I had a new extractor fan fitted as the old one was rather noisy. Five firms and 3 extractor fans later DFP managed to get the new fan (they recommended keeping the third one fitted by a previous company) properly extracting so after 5 months I could have a proper bath and shower again. I am very grateful to them. David (who made the initial and second final visit - when work was undertaken) listened to me and ordered a new top to the outside duct which seems to work. I was getting a lot of down winds before when it was stormy. Luis had the challenging job of going out on the roof and getting the previous duct top off which had been glued on. I discovered the company whilst doing a google search re bathroom fitting experts. Importantly DFP made it clear that if there was any problem they were happy to return to make adjustments and patiently explained what the settings meant including the humidity setting. I have no hesitation in recommending this London based company.

This whole experience was dictated by David who attended my premises to establish what needed to be done. I was given a quote and an appointment was made for an electrician to attend. They attended as arranged and resolved the issue. During the intervening time I was kept informed of the current situation. I can only say that their attitude was thoroughly professional and friendly. I would recommend this company without reservation.

I can't speak highly enough of David and his team. They are extremely professional in terms of their workmanship but also in their overall approach and especially in their courtesy to the customer. From the first meeting to discuss the work of replacing the floorboards on our landings, Dave was extremely knowledgeable about what needed to be done and the advice given was really helpful. The quote was received the next day. The work was completed to an excellent standard, on time and nothing was too much trouble. Once all the work was completed they left the house very neat and tidy, I would highly recommend and would definitely use them again.
Before you hire a painter in Ontario
No provincial licence required. Insurance and a clear written scope carry the weight here.
General liability insurance
Covers overspray on a neighbour's car, damage to flooring, and ladder incidents. Ask for the certificate.
WSIB clearance
Especially relevant for exterior work at height. Many small painting operations are owner-operators who may be exempt - ask them to confirm their status in writing either way.
Lead-safe work practices for pre-1980 homes
Sanding old paint can disturb lead. A painter working on an older home should be able to describe how they contain dust.
Questions worth asking
- What preparation is included - filling, sanding, caulking, priming?
- How many coats, and is primer counted as one of them?
- What paint product and finish line are you using? (Brand alone does not say much; the product line does.)
- Does the quote include ceilings, trim, doors and closet interiors, or walls only?
- How are floors, furniture and fixtures protected?
