## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this tradesperson's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "We appointed David Matthews Painting & Waterproofing Contractors for both interior and exterior painting as well as waterproofing at our home in Camps Bay, Cape Town, and we are very happy with the outcome. Before proceeding, we obtained three different quotations. David Matthews’ proposal stood out as offering the best balance between price and quality. It was detailed, transparent and gave us confidence from the start. The work was carried out in January 2026 using Dulux paint for both the interior and exterior surfaces. What impressed us most was the structured way the project was managed and the clear communication throughout the entire process, from the initial site visit and quotation, through to scheduling and final handover. The team was reliable, well organised and paid attention to detail. The waterproofing work was done professionally and with care, and the site was kept neat throughout the project. We would gladly recommend David Matthews Painting & Waterproofing Contractors to other homeowners and would not hesitate to use them again."

> "David Matthews is a shining example of professionalism and excellent service. Job was done before deadline and we could choose a start date 2 months into the future to avoid rainy weather. Project manager on site every day and all staff friendly. They left our place cleaner than what it was - not a spot of paint anywhere. Saw the bad reviews about paint failing after a number of years, Will be sad if that happen to us! (We did register for the Dulux warranty.)"

## Before you hire a painter / decorator
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_
- In South Africa, electrical work must be signed off with a Certificate of Compliance (CoC) issued by a registered person. Insist on the CoC, and for plumbing look for PIRB or IOPSA registration, because without a valid CoC a future home-insurance claim can be refused.
- For a new home or major structural build, the builder must be registered with the NHBRC (National Home Builders Registration Council) and the home enrolled before construction. Check this before you pay a deposit.
- Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile.
- Check any credential evidence, and that the business details independently check out.
- Get a written quote and keep guarantee, insurance and payment terms in writing.
