How it works
Send photos of the damage, surrounding wall, existing paint information and the room lighting where the finish will be seen.
Review the stable repair area, paint condition and available colour information before treating patching and painting as one bounded task.
Complete an agreed suitable local patch, allow required preparation stages and apply the agreed compatible touch-up finish.
Confirm the Carnegie address, access contact and preparation. Mention anything that limits safe handling or use of the space before scheduling.

Carnegie property context
An occupied Carnegie property may need preparation before patch and paint can begin. Send photos of the damage, surrounding wall, existing paint information and the room lighting where the finish will be seen. Mention rooms that need to remain usable and identify who can agree the scope and arrange entry. Loose handles, sticking doors, damaged walls and poorly secured fittings can be frustrating even when each job is small. List the problem, where it is located and how it affects the property so the repair goal is easy to understand.
