Report
We purchased an old home in Carmel that needed plenty of work. Will and his team came in and didnt stop at simply paint, they fixed walls, ceilings, filled gaps and more to make the job perfect. The real challenge came when we had an odor that we had no idea how to get rid of it. Will knew what applications to apply and now we are odor free. If you want quality I strongly recommend Will Bullock Painting.
