  I would highly recommend Harvey for both plastering and decorating. He did such a great job with my kitchen so I’ve now got him doing 2 other rooms too! You get an incredibly professional finish.

  1st Choice 4 Decorating Ltd, aka Harvey Rogers, is exactly that. The best choice anyone could make to have an excellent and timely decoration of the outside and the inside of your home.All too often, having workmen in our home can feel somewhat intrusive. But not when Harvey is that man. He’s so respectful, helpful and always unobtrusively friendly. You might well miss him when he’s tidied up and left. You will want him back, but meanwhile take delight in what and how he’s left your enhanced and refreshingly invigorated home. Best choice you will make. For sure a 1ST… [read more]

  It was a pleasure to employ Harvey to repair and paint an outside rendered wall. This was expertly done. He is friendly and reliable and I will definitely be asking him to work for me again.

  Harvey did a really excellent job for me refurbishing a three-storey rental property in Wellington prior to it being put on the market to sell.He redecorated the interior throughout and also carried out necessary repairs and replacements to ironmongery and stair bannisters amongst other things. He also redecorated much of the exterior and installed a new garden gate. All of this work was completed to a very high standard and in a very timely manner.A clear and detailed quote was provided at the start and the work was all completed within budget and well within the agreed timescale. At the… [read more]

  end of the job everything was left clean, neat and tidy. At no extra cost, and on his own initiative, he also disposed of all redundant items, including junk left behind by the tenant.Harvey’s wife Jacqui also made a very useful contributing to the project by doing necessary cleaning and preparation work at the start and also by making the bathrooms, kitchen and windows look sparklingly clean at the end.Harvey is a first class, professional tradesman who has a range of useful skills to offer. I found him to be a very easy person to work with who is prepared to bend over backwards to accommodate the requirements of the project and ensure the work is completed on time. I found him to be a cheerful and likeable person who takes great pride in his work. I therefore have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Harvey as a skilled tradesman you can rely on to produce a first-class job.

  Harvey’s work was exemplary. He was engaged to paint my Lounge and Hallway. Although he was busy on other jobs we agreed a start date and he turned up on time and started work immediately, Nothing was too much for him and he helped move our heavy furniture without asking. After scheduling the work to last for four days he finished in three. All I can say that the standard of his work was outstanding and I would not hesitate to use his services again and would advise anyone who requires this type of… [read more]

  work to give him a call, they would not be disappointed.

  I am new to Somerset and found your guide to be really helpful in finding an excellent decorator – Harvey Rogers. He recently repaired and painted a room in the house I had recently bought. He did a beautiful job, was punctual and friendly and so clean and tidy. I highly recommend him.

  It just so happens that I have recently had my Living room decorated by a company called 1st Choice 4 Decorating Ltd owned by a Mr Harvey Rogers. As well as painting the ceiling and most of the walls he also fitted coving all round and wallpapered a feature wall.

His preparation is exceptional and he won’t let any problem go unsolved. He leaves… [read more]
