Absolutely amazing

Absolutely amazing. I ordered varnish at 7:20am. Aidan dropped it to my door at 8:26am THE SAME DAY! Literally an hour later. Delivery was also FREE. Friendly service. Smart looking van branding. I cannot recommend enough. I don’t think I could possibly order paint from anywhere else after this! I had never even heard of this company before this morning when I went looking for a specific varnish that only they seemed to stock. Absolutely delighted

Hi Aoife, Wow—thanks so much for such an amazing review! 😊

We’re delighted you found the specific varnish you were looking for with us and that Aidan managed to get it to your door just over an hour after you placed your order! That’s certainly what we call speedy delivery.

We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to Aidan too. We’re also glad you liked the van branding—he’ll get a kick out of that! 😉

Thanks again for giving us a try. We’re absolutely delighted to have made such a good first impression, and we hope to become your go-to for all your future paint and decorating needs!

Exterior house painting

I am planning on painting the exterior of my home but I could not find the color I wanted. Pat McDonell paints had the color and came in cheaper than alot of others. It was really easy to order online and to my surprise they were at my door the next working day. Lovely people, exceptional service and fair prices 👏

We had a very positive experience with…

We had a very positive experience with Pat McDonnell Paints in Raheen and, in particular, with Darius.

We initially had an issue which could easily have left us disappointed customers. However, the way Darius handled the situation was exceptional. He listened to our concerns, took the matter seriously and went out of his way to find a solution for us.

What impressed us most was the genuinely personal and professional way he dealt with everything. Rather than simply resolving the issue, he completely turned the experience around and left us feeling that our custom was genuinely valued.

Good customer service is easy when everything goes smoothly, but I think the real test is how a business responds when something goes wrong. Darius handled our situation brilliantly and has turned what could have been a negative experience into one that has made us loyal customers of Pat McDonnell Paints.

He is an absolute credit to the Raheen team, and we would have no hesitation in recommending them.

We're incredibly grateful for your continued support and delighted to have you as loyal customers. Thanks again for your kind words and recommendation!
