A Journey with us
Every journey has a beginning, middle and end
From an initial informal visit we try and gain as great an understanding of your vision for spaces, usage and how it will fit with your lifestyle. You may have a clearly defined view of colour and themes, however we are always happy to give some input, inspiration and insights.
​
Not all paints, coatings and varnishes are made equal, matching products to usage is key for a lasting finish. Our in depth product knowledge will ensure a step by step process to deliver your vision.
​
Traditional, modern or a chic fusion
Whatever your style preference we know that attention to detail is key.
​
From the outset our team care for your home as if it were their own. Painting and decorating can be a disruptive and intrusive process and every effort is made to work with you and care for your property at all times.
​
Planning and scheduling works step by step with your involvement allows our teams to focus on what is important to you.
​
Delivering your vision, on time and on budget always.
Exterior painting & decorating that stands the test of time
We know only too well how our Cornish weather can effect exterior décor.
​
We take into account surfaces, substrates, UV and prevailing weather directions, all of which can can have an adverse effect on exterior paintworks.
​
Protecting woodwork and ensuring masonry is weathertight too. Chicoco exteriors stand proud on exposed Cornish coastlines, in towns and rural areas.
Not all painters and decorators are equal
Whist we embrace proven brush and rolling techniques, sometimes we also need to call upon new decorating technologies.
​
Airless paint spraying is often utilised for exteriors that have textured surfaces such as rough render surfaces or pebbledash. With adjustment to spray tips and pressure we often use this for fine finish interiors and flawlessly opaque ceilings eliminating roller marks and flashes.
​
HVLP (high volume low pressure) paint spraying for kitchen units, ornate ceiling roses, detailed staircases and even UPVC windows and doors.
Award winning service
We don't chase awards, they just come
We are immensely proud of our work and team. Standing by our core principles we have won the Houzz website award for outstanding customer service for 2021, 2022 & 2023 consecutively.
​
Out of 3.9 million trades that present themselves on Houzz only 150 get to win this award each year.
Some of our clients also go out of their way to sing our praises, it's worth taking a moment to read our Google reviews .
​
When we say we care, don't just take our word for it.
Teamwork
Large or small project we have a team for the job
Whether your project be compact or substantial we'll put the right size team in to get the project in to our standards and on time.
​
Some instructions require one or two team members. However some projects require a much larger team If the project has a time focus such as exterior decorating in fine weather or an end of tenancy turn around then we would apply a larger team to suit.
​
Imagine, what a team of five can achieve in a day, that a sole decorator would only achieve in a week!
