happy clients....
Dear Veronica,
Thank you so much for your stunning work, indeed because of you our home has the touches that we so much wanted but were sure we would have to live without.
Having been in Vancouver for about twenty years my wife and I were quite certain that anyone who had the talent to execute the concepts we had in mind would also have the determination to do it their way, leaving us with something that just didn’t fit. Well, we were wrong. First and foremost you listened when we discussed any particular project and, if we were not clear, you asked good questions to ensure that what we had in mind became the lines that flowed from your paintbrush. In short your flexibility in dealing with various ideas and the perfection of your execution when it came to the actual painting made you a joy to work with. Our requests were not simple, in fact just writing down some of them forced us to realize how diverse they were. We asked you to copy a stolen Modigliani on one wall, produce a faded fresco look on another and paint an ancient celestial map (upside down on a ceiling!), but you produced them all, each with their own style and look. I still don’t know how you matched a new marble panel to its original and smoke stained twin on a 1790 Georgian fireplace, but you did and the result is so perfect that the mantle is, unbelievably, whole again.
Renovating a home isn’t fun, by and large, but working with you really was. I suppose what helped to make it easy was the flexibility you showed in going along with our contractor so there was no timing conflict when it came to finishing any particular job. You came when you said you would come and you worked hard to mesh with the general plan to avoid a tumble of people laboring away in conflict, all in the same small corner of the house. If only everyone else had been so true to his or her word (think kitchen cabinets!) the whole job would have been done months earlier, actually your reliability showed how unreliable less talented folk were.
We will recommend you without hesitation to all our friends and we will do so knowing that your range and skills are so diverse we will never see our home repeated. Every job you do will, I know, be different, because you listen to your clients, you don’t just paint the same thing every time.
Yours with more thanks than I can say,
Mark Galvin
