Painter and decorator in Bangor.

Decorating in Bangor

Bangor's housing is dominated by Victorian and Edwardian terraces climbing the hills of Upper Bangor, along with larger villas near the university and newer estates towards Penrhosgarnedd. The older terraces carry generations of paint on their joinery and often have decorative plaster that deserves better than being flooded with emulsion. Mouldings are cut in by hand and cleaned out where previous coats have filled the detail.

There is also a large rental market here, and rental work has its own priorities: robust, washable finishes, quick turnaround between tenancies and a price that makes sense over a five year cycle rather than the cheapest possible coat. Adam is happy to quote a property portfolio on that basis.

For owner-occupiers, the work tends to be whole-room or whole-house redecoration, with colour advice included. Adam trained in art and colour, so choosing palettes, sheen levels and how a colour will behave in a north-facing Bangor room is part of the conversation, not an afterthought.
