Complete Painting & Decoration in Carrickmacross
A "full finish" is exactly what the name suggests — taking a property from bare plaster or stripped surfaces right through to the final coat. It's the service new builds need, the service renovations demand, and the standard every home deserves. Based in Carrickmacross, I provide full finish and decoration services across County Monaghan — handling every step from plaster sealing to the last brushstroke.
"All in one" isn't just a name — it's how I work. One point of contact, one consistent standard, one professional finish throughout your entire property.
What's Included
Plaster Sealing
New plaster is sealed with a properly diluted mist coat, allowing the surface to accept paint evenly without flaking or peeling.
Priming & Undercoating
All woodwork receives primer and undercoat for proper adhesion, colour coverage, and a smooth foundation for the top coat.
Multi-Coat Paint Systems
Walls typically receive two full coats of emulsion. Woodwork gets primer, undercoat, and a finishing coat — no shortcuts.
Wallpaper Removal
Old wallpaper stripped cleanly, adhesive residue removed, walls smoothed and prepared for a fresh painted finish.
Full Room Makeovers
Complete transformation of a room or rooms — from tired and dated to fresh and modern. Walls, ceilings, woodwork, all done.
New Build Finishing
Working with builders and homeowners to deliver the painting and decoration stage of new builds to a professional standard.
What "All in One" Means
When I say "all in one", I mean you don't need to coordinate multiple trades for your painting and decoration. I handle everything: the initial assessment, surface preparation, priming, painting, and finishing. From the first survey to the final walkthrough — one person, one standard, one finish.
For new builds, this means working alongside your builder to deliver the painting stage on schedule and to spec. For renovations, it means stripping back what's there, repairing what needs fixing, and building up a fresh new finish from scratch.
No subcontractors, no handoffs, no inconsistency. The same care and attention goes into every room, every wall, every surface.
The Full Finish Process
Assessment & Planning
I survey the property, discuss your requirements, and plan the sequence of work. You get a detailed quote covering everything.
Preparation
Plaster sealed, surfaces cleaned, cracks filled, old finishes stripped where needed. This stage takes time — and it should.
Priming & Undercoating
All woodwork primed. Problem areas spot-primed. Undercoats applied where needed for proper opacity and adhesion.
Painting & Finishing
Full coats applied to all surfaces. Careful cutting in, even rolling, and attention to every edge and corner.
Final Inspection
We walk through together. Any touch-ups done immediately. You sign off when you're completely satisfied with every room.
