"FSM housing recently completed exterior house painting for us - house wash, prep, prime and paint. Farhan was friendly, approachable and clear in his communication. He was knowledgeable and gave excellent recommendation in paint color choice. His team made minimal disturbances and maintained a tidy workspace. We are happy with the results. I appreciated their prompt response and returned to do some touch ups."

"When we decided to paint our house I started looking online to find an exterior painter. I ended up choosing FSM housing Ltd due to their reviews and ratings and am happy and relieved that we decided to go with them.

On our initial meeting with Farhan I knew that he was the right person for the job. He had a nice manner about him and was easy going and knowledgeable.

Maria was fantastic, always answering my many questions which reassured me that everything was going to turn out just fine.

Andy, Farhan, Dante and Pablo are hard working, respectful, and professional and lovely to deal with.
They went above and beyond fixing the chipped wood and bits and pieces on our home. They did an amazing job in prepping and painting our house.

Farhan's expertise in choosing the right colour for our house was right on the money. It suits our house and has brought it back to life.

Thank you Farhan, Andy, Dante, Pablo and Maria. We love our house now and are very thankful for the job that you have done.

We highly recommend their services and will definitely use them again."

"Farhan and Pablo, I am always apprehensive about having strangers working in my home. I steer away from it, where possible. I saw from the outset, from your approach to the job, that you take pride in your work. You also went the extra mile to make sure the job was well done, and indeed it was. But that is only the half of it. You were in and out with a minimal of disruption to ourselves, 3 of us studying and working from home, and we had no concerns about you integrity and decency. You got on with it. You were respectful and welcome guests in our home and you did a great job. Thank you. If I need painting again, I will be calling on you. A job well done. Oh, and one more thing. I don't just dish out compliments. You deserve it. ????"

"Farhan and the team from FSM Housing really stepped up to help me last minute. I had attempted my own paint repair job and made a complete mess of my wall, with two days left of my tenancy I contacted Farhan and he was able to get the job done beautifully! As a last minute request I thought his communication and efficiency in the job really made a difference to my stress levels. The wall looks like nothing even happened - perfect for my bond check when leaving the property.

Thanks Farhan and the FSM Housing team! Would recommend to anyone and will use them again in future if needed! You can tell they are a business that care about the needs of their customers."

"It is my pleasure to write a reference for Farhan.He is helpful, down to earth, skillful, passionate about his work and clean with a charming presonality.
Farhan was refered to me as an excellent painter. So I had high expectation of excellent work when I asked him to paint my kitchen. He presented a very detailed quotation with the price of each item. I was impressed with how organised he seemed to be. And after our agreement I mentioned to him that the walls of the kitchen needed some patch up plastering that my builder left unfinished. Farhan agreed without hesitation. He arrived on time. Farhan has a very polite, calm and confident attitude that makes you feel immediatly that you can trust him and that he knows his profession inside out. Farhan started the work immediatly. He covered all the furniture of the room properly and started preparing the room for the paint. It turned out that the plasterwork, that my builder left undone, was much more additional work than Farhan had initially excpected. However he carried on without complain and did an excellent job. When I suggested to give him more money to compansate for the additional work he refused point blank and also refused to cut any corners that I suggested instead.
He worked over the weekend and the public holiday to finish the job. I am very happy with how smooth and neat the walls of my kitchen now looks. And I will definitely ask Farhan to do more work for me in the future as painters like him are very rare to find. Farhan did met my expectation and went beyond. Thank you Farhan."
