A clearer brief. A better start.
Planning painting, garden care or handyman work in Cape Town? A few useful details help David understand your project and help you compare quotes for the same work.
01 · Show the whole picture
What to send with your enquiry
A wide view and a close-up
Show the room, wall, garden or fitting in context, then add a close-up of the part needing attention. A photograph of access is useful for narrow gates, stairs or work above normal reach.
Size, location and timing
Include your suburb, approximate measurements or garden size, and when someone can provide access. Mention a move-in date or other deadline so David can confirm whether the timing is workable.
Your list, in priority order
Separate each task and describe the result you want. For example: repaint the bedroom walls; attend to the loose fitting; tidy the hedge and border. Point out the most important item first.
Materials and property details
Tell David about parts or paint you already have, belongings that need protection, pets and access arrangements. Agree which tasks are suitable before buying more materials.
02 · Define the job
What changes from one service to another?
House painting in Cape Town ↗
A painting price needs a defined area and a defined finish. Two quotes for the same room may cover different preparation, materials or surfaces.
See the quote details for this service ↗Garden services in Cape Town ↗
A once-off garden tidy-up and a regular care visit are different jobs. Start with the current condition of the garden and the result you want from the visit.
See the quote details for this service ↗Home maintenance in Cape Town ↗
For home maintenance, a prioritised list helps separate immediate repairs from work that can be planned for later. Give each item a clear description.

Look beyond the total price.
Good Fellas does not publish a fixed price list. David needs to understand your job before confirming the scope and price. When comparing offers, check that they cover the same things.
| Check | Ask for clarity on |
|---|---|
| Work included | Which rooms, surfaces, fittings or garden areas are covered? Which tasks are outside the quote? |
| Preparation | What needs to happen before painting or fitting begins? Is related preparation included? |
| Materials and parts | Who supplies them, what has been agreed and are those costs part of the total? |
| Access and timing | When can the work start, who provides access and how will timing changes be discussed? |
| Protection and cleanup | How will belongings be protected? Who handles cleanup, packaging and garden cuttings? |
| Changes and payment | What is the agreed payment arrangement? How will additional tasks or costs be approved before work continues? |
04 · Keep the agreement clear
Confirm the details before work starts.
Keep a written record of the accepted tasks, materials, price and access arrangements. If the scope changes, discuss and agree the change before the additional work begins. Arrange who will walk through the completed job list with David.
Photographs start the conversation; they may not show everything needed for a confirmed quote. Ask David whether a visit or additional information is needed, and confirm any visit charge in advance.
