Mehmet Yılmaz

Focuses on interior painting on the Anatolian side of İstanbul, taking on anything from a single room to a whole flat. Starts by preparing the wall: scrapes flaking paint, opens up and fills cracks, and never paints without priming first. Explains the difference between washable and silk matt paints during the site visit, and lists ceiling and door frame work as separate items in the quote. Pays particular attention to pattern matching and corner turns when hanging wallpaper. Works with a two-person team, covers the furniture and clears away the plastic sheeting at the end of the job. Gives his quote as two lines, labour and materials. Usually comes out for the site visit within the same week.
