I recently hired Trevor for a painting job at my place and I've got to say, I'm thoroughly impressed. He took care of the interior doors, kitchen door, tiles, and some exterior work with great attention to detail. What stood out was how neat everything was after the job; Trevor meticulously laid out masking and preparation sheets which made clean-up a breeze. The final result? Fantastic! Besides his professionalism, he's a true gentleman—very respectful and with excellent English skills. Plus, he showed up earlier than expected and didn't leave until everything was perfectly done. To top it off, his prices were more affordable than any other service we've used in Portugal—and without a single fault in his work!

Trevor and his team did an amazing job renovating my 40-year-old rental apartment. They gave it a complete facelift, repainting everything, replacing old skirting boards, and carefully fixing any wall cracks before painting. They transformed the bathroom and kitchen beautifully - now it looks like a modern space. I was particularly impressed with their attention to detail; they were meticulous and there's not a single negative thing I can say about their work. The project was completed on time, the team always showed up when they said they would, and the whole experience was excellent. As a bonus, they even removed some old furniture for free! Plus, communication was never an issue since everyone speaks fluent English; however, they also have someone who can speak Portuguese if needed. Overall, Trevor's team is professional – polite, intelligent, and clearly very skilled in what they do.

I recently hired Trevor for wall repairs, painting, and help with selling my house. I must say, I'm very satisfied with his work. The wall repair was top-notch; it was done professionally and the cleanup afterward left no trace of work being done. The sale of my house went incredibly smoothly as well—Trevor's advertisement drew a lot of interest, resulting in numerous visits and a sale to the first person who came by! Communication with Trevor is one of his strong suits; he's precise about what will happen and attentive to detail throughout the process. He's always on time, sometimes even early, which I really appreciate. His pricing is reasonable for the quality service provided—I definitely felt like I got my money's worth. Plus, he's respectful and responsible, always valuing my input during the selling process. All in all, Trevor is friendly and professional—I couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Why we created Locallista?

As expats, we understand how overwhelming it can be to settle into a new city, where even simple tasks become difficult without a network, complicated by language barriers and cultural differences. That’s why we created Locallista — a closed platform where expats connect with trusted service providers recommended by the community, ensuring clear communication in English or their native languages, making life easier.
