Abdelkader Bouhassoun

I am a punctual and organized house painter with 6 years of experience. I speak different languages, e.g. Arabic, French, Spanish, and English and this makes it easy for me to understand the needs and preferences of clients from different nationalities and communicate with them effectively.

During the 6 years, I developed a range of skills that helped me to reach professionalism in painting. I.e., I developed an aesthetic sense of what looks good for house painting and what fits each property, knowledge of different paints and coatings used for internal and external use, and manual dexterity in using tools and mold treatment products.
