A family trade, and my own business since 2020
I'm Blossom McGill — licensed, fully insured, and taught the trade by my father, who has now been painting for more than 46 years.
Who I am
My name is Blossom McGill, and I've been painting since I was 16. I learned the trade working alongside my father, who has now been a painter for more than 46 years. Painting has always been a family business for us, with my siblings and I going on to run our own painting companies. In 2020, I decided to branch out and start McGill Painting.
Since then, most of my work has come through word of mouth, repeat clients and recommendations. After being asked plenty of times where people could view my previous work or request a quote, I finally decided to create this website.
I take pride in being reliable, straightforward and easy to deal with. Whether it's a small refresh or a larger painting project, I treat every home and business with care and aim to leave every client happy with the finished result.
