I can highly recommend Freddy and his team. They give a lot of attention to detail and the work they do is of very high standards. I would love to recommend them with 10 stars
Freddy is professional, and punctual. He works neatly and is reliable. Have used him to paint a business and residence on 2 different occasions and hasn’t disappointed.
Freddy did a great job for us. We needed teo very large paintings hung.
He was punctual, worked quickly, cleaned after he was finished and we were extremely happy with his work.
Would definitely recommend Freddy
Freddy painted the interior house, including the burgler bars. The painting included the crack repairs, patching and plastering.
Freddy assessed the job and provided a very reasonable quote.
He provided an estimated duration and material list(very accurate).
He painted the interior of the house over a period of 1 week and was punctual and operated unsupervised for 90% of the time.
He ensured that there was minimal disruption to the house and always ensured that the areas he painted was clean.
He left the site clean and tidy every day before he left.
Freddy also paid attention to detail and on the last day went through the entire job painting over any blemishes and cleaning the areas that were painted.
Freddy (and his team) painted the exterior walls of our house, the fascia boards as well as the boundary walls. He also installed new air bricks below our wooden floors. In addition, he also painted the exterior and boundary walls of our 3 unit sectional title complex. The painting also included the crack repairs, patching and plastering.
I was happy with the work done by Freddy. He was always punctual and communicated clearly about the extent of work required; the materials needed and managed the job within the agreed time frames. He left the site clean and tidy every day. I found Freddy to be reliable and trustworthy and he has a good work ethic. I would recommend him.
What a friendly, polite and efficient man! Freddy is punctual, his team friendly and easy to talk to and his willingness to go the extra mile, refreshing! Freddy did some assessing and then cleaning and waterproofing on my roof slab which included painting inside where the water had seeped through. He offered to paint inside the cupboards too as they were looking shabby. His work is clean and he leaves the site cleaner than when he started! I will definitely use Freddy again.
Freddy was highly recommended by a friend who had used his services twice. He assessed the damage and came up with a solution and quote the same day. I received a shopping list and Freddy was very precise as what I needed to buy. He and his two assistants were very clean workers – and every day left the site spotless. They were punctual, polite and did a very neat job. Freddy certainly knew how to tackle the cracks and the waterproofing issues in my home. I will certainly use him for all my paint and waterproof issues in the future.
Freddy assisted us with a number of small jobs in our flat. He was quick to respond over text message and arrived on time as agreed to give us a quote and to do the work. He corrected some plastering around our new built in cupboards, hung a large mirror, and replaced four doors on a shelving unit. Freddy did a careful and professional job – and was sure to ask us exactly what was required so that we were happy with the final result. He also advised us on the best way to correct the plastering and made suggestions on fixing the skirting board. He stayed until 6pm ensuring all the work was completed.
Freddy attended to some issues I had at my cottage. He was precise in his evaluation of the problems and attended to the issues in a most professional manner. I would not hesitate using him again and will gladly recommend his services.
Freddy repaired my pre-cast wall where a tree damaged it. His work is very professional and he got the job done within the time frame quoted. I look forward to working with him again on future home improvement projects.

What a proffectional Job done by Freddy at my house and work place
My house was looking old both interior and exterior , on the tiles as well . He recommended the special colours and coatings , he did patching and plastering before the painting
I am impressed with his quality of work , he takes ownership in his work , very committed and hardworking .
He managed to bring a new look without rushing . I love my new house now , I have referred my company and neighbours .
Freddy has helped us with damp-proofing a flat roof that was giving us problems, as well as patching and re-painting the interior of our lounge and an outside room and bathroom. His work was so good that we have already asked him back to do further paint jobs.
Freddy is fair with his pricing, he is trustworthy, reliable and neat. He is most definitely going to be our “go-to” guy for future damp-proofing and painting.
We recently commissioned Freddy to paint the exterior of our house and boundary walls. He did a superb job.
Freddy removed old, crumbling plaster. Damp proofed and re-plastered where required. He was punctual, professional, worked fast and neatly and cleaned up when they were done. He finished within his quoted timeframe even though we asked him to do some additional repairs to the roof brandering and corner tiles.
Freddy waterproofed, painted, tiled, and built retaining walls and a firepit at our home from January to March. This was a huge undertaking which he completed to my satisfaction (I’m not especially easy to please). We were so happy with the work he does, we ended up doing 3 times as much as originally intended.
To whom it may concern. I do here by witness and give a good reference to Freddy-Mharadzano for perfect and excellent painting job he has done on my interior walls and ceilings including bathroom. More over freddy is determined and concerned . For more information contact 0738163484 . With regards David
Freddy was a team leader handling the paint project at Cottage Lane ,16 Hull Street, Florida….1709…during 2014.
He is very trustable person.
He handled the paint project very professional and this project completed on time.
Freddy also did private work at my unit in January this year.
I left him alone sometimes as he is an honest person.
I will recommend Freddy to everyone when needed.
Freddy has worked for me for 5 years.
He is a very honest, reliable, trustworthy and hardworking individual. He was also one of my team leaders. He is an excellent painter, waterproofer and performed lots off other building and maintenance tasks. I would really recommend Freddy for any of the above mentioned jobs.
