Sloppy. That's the one word I would best use to describe this painting company. I hired Ben and his…read morecrew to paint my apartment last December, and ultimately I wish I had gone with a different painting crew. The problems were myriad, including: 1) A shoddy paint job showing a lack of attention to detail. As you can see from my attached photos, there were large splotches of mismatched colored walls in my closet, and a doorframe to one of my closets was obviously not painted carefully as evidenced by the poor finished product. Dried speckles of paint were sprinkled literally all throughout my apartment's floors. I spent well over 8 hours cleaning off all of the dried paint that these guys left behind on my apartment's floors, so they quite clearly do not cover the floors with any protective layer, nor do they demonstrate any care when doing the actual painting. 2) Garbage left in my sinks, and dried paint left behind all over my sinks and bath tubs. Totally understandable that these guys would wash their equipment in my apartment, but totally unacceptable for them to leave a mess of dried paint caked all over my sinks and bath tubs that I had to clean myself. 3) Poor communication and lack of follow up when these problems were brought to their attention. I sent numerous emails to Ben about these problems and gave him multiple opportunities to fix them, but he simply stopped returning the emails. Clearly, Ben and his company show little concern or care for ensuring customer satisfaction. All in all, I would absolutely NOT recommend hiring Ben and his crew for your next paint job. While they are definitely not the most expensive paint crew, the old adage 'you get what you pay for' is quite evident here. The shoddy craftsmanship, piss poor communication, general carelessness and inattention to detail, and disregard for customer satisfaction all add up to money that is most definitely not well spent here, and I would highly recommend NOT hiring Ben and his crew to paint your next project.

He was supposed to paint the whole apartment but he deliberately skipped some areas including a partial wall painted in gray primer where the whole apartment is painted in white. Upon reaching out to him (in the rare case he answered the phone) he was pretending to be nice but actually was not willing to come finish the job and kept postponing and then not answering the phone. We had to chase him down for more than two months and ended up giving up and hiring another contractor to finish the job.

I had an absolutely horrendous experience with Alberto. If you value your time, money, and sanity,…read moredo yourself a favor and avoid this company at all costs. From the very beginning, their communication was abysmal. He rarely answered calls or emails, leaving us completely in the dark about the progress of our project. The quality of their work was shockingly poor. Walls were uneven, paint was sloppy, and they made countless errors that required expensive fixes. It was clear they lacked the necessary skills and experience. Their workers were consistently late, and on several occasions, they didn't show up at all, causing significant delays. To make matters worse, they went way over budget without any prior warning or explanation. When we questioned the additional charges, they became defensive and rude. Their lack of professionalism and respect was astounding. All of the good reviews are made up. !!!!!!!!!!!!!AVOID ALBERTO AT ALL COST!!!!!!!!!!!!

David of Modern Home improvements is a skilled contractor who provides great quality of work. He is…read morethoroughly knowledged and is detail oriented. We enjoyed our working relationship through the renovation as he was amiable, and fun to speak to. He is strong, friendly and skillful and showed great precise skill at cutting a unique solid wood custom door to fit our pocket door. He is detail oriented and clean at his work. The communication related to contracts, payments were executed well and kept things clear. If you are looking for a skillful and friendly person to help you with your renovation, David is the contractor you need to talk to. Overall I'm very happy with how our bathroom turned out and highly recommend Modern home improvements for their quality work. The pictures are proof of a great transformation!

His team was extremely detail-oriented and professional. Our floors were made to look like they were brand new in a home that was 40+ years old. We are very pleased with the timeline and results, that we have opened up to using his services on other renovations in our home. I highly recommend this company for high quality service and results!!

It had not been renovated since the apt was purchased in the 90's. He did such an amazing job! Our kitchen and bathrooms look beautiful and so high end! We lived in the apt during the renovation and his workers were always neat, clean and easy to deal with. They also minimized dust by erecting zip walls and constantly cleaning after themselves. We were very comfortable with his workers being here and Tony usually was working himself or coming by to oversee the work done. We saw him almost every day. He is very professional and accommodating. We highly recommend him for any serious renovation work. You will not be disappointed!

Owner Lawrence and his very knowledgable crew, led by foreman, Eric, were excellent. Their high-quality craft, deep insights, precision, and compassion, were a pleasure to benefit from. Everything was run smoothly, on time and for a fair price. They spent a good deal of time patiently educating me about numerous matters, including best practices for smoothly dealing with the building staff and management company, helping me to make decisions about things I was unaware of by thoughtfully explaining options, etc. They maintain reliable and beneficial supplier relationships whom they clearly partner well with. All their craftsmen were talented and efficient (carpenters, masons, painters, assemblers, installers, cleaners). The company was adaptable to variables beyond our control that tend to arise: We did not loose time when 2 Home Depots were out of desired doors ("Let's check Lowe's across the parking lot") or Home Depot was late to deliver appliances they left Bolo the task of bringing into the apartment after a sidewalk delivery, discovering the kitchen underfloor was in worse condition than anticipated, etc. As with any business that has on-the-fly decisions to make or optional services to choose, as the client, expect expansion/contraction of the scope of work and costs. Bolo also runs professional cleaning services, so the place was spotless when they finished since I elected their thorough service. Here are before and after photos, with the post-renovation successes shown on the right. Thank you, Bolo!
