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.

Zero liability, shady work and horrible service. Ben…read morepainted our apartment while we were not present. 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 such a great experience in working with Terrence. It was my first time using the Yelp service…read morerequest feature and he was the first to respond to my message (within minutes!). After meeting and reviewing his quote, my partner and I hired Terrance for a full apartment revamp and 2 geometric accent walls (that he and his team hand-painted). Throughout his time with us, Terrace was prompt in his communication and consistently checked in with us for feedback on the team's work. He was also helpful with color/ finish suggestions (since we're newbies to paint) and helped reduce the stress of what started as a very overwhelming process. Although we had less than a week for Terrance to repaint the entire apartment, his team finished slightly ahead of schedule with enough time left over for drying. Also, the payment process was seamless and nothing changed from the original quote except for the additional things we decided to add on. Terrance managed his staff well, was available any time we had a random paint question, and just generally a pleasure to work with. He would be the first person I contacted if we ever needed something else painted and I've already recommend Colorworks Painting Contractors to MANY people. Thank you so much Terrance and I look forward to the day that I can hire you again!

Whenever seeking a contractor, one looks for 4 things:…read more - Communication - Timeliness - Trustworthy - Quality work Terrence and his team knock all 4 out of the park! Terrence is the possibility the best vendor around in terms of availability and communication during project. While most contractors are trying to close a sale, your experience with Terrence will be the same on day 1 through project completion. If you are weighing multiple proposals, Terrence alone is the reason to choose Colorworks Painting to work on your trusted home. The final product is excellent and wish him and his team continued success.

However the reviews from a wide variety of people count for a lot, and those were where I started. I chose to do business with Elkins primarily from all the stellar reviews. And now you can add this one. Elkins more than lived up to my expectations. Aside from the finished product looking great, Elkin was a pleasure to work with. He is professional, thorough, skilled, neat and reasonably priced. He takes pride in his work and it shows. I'm confident this observation applies to any job he does. If you ever need papering done, I highly recommend Elkin's Painting and Wallpapering, you will not be disappointed.

(This is an update to my review posted 3 weeks ago on Precision Painting.)…read more I just used Precision Painting's services for the second time in less than a month. I wrote a review about 3 weeks ago (pls see below) and as I was very happy with that experience, I contacted Precision again for another job. This time, I had to have a portion of my bathroom patched, covered and then painted. I also had a related request to remove a shelf from the bathroom. As with my first experience with Precision, this job was just as good! Again, the coordination within the Precision team was excellent and clearly evident in all aspects of the job, from initial inquiry and questions all the way to the final communication post completion of the job. My key contacts were Jason and Trish. My request was not a standard apartment painting but involved some work on fixing a portion of my bathroom wall, removing a shelf, and then painting and cleaning up the job. Precision was able to accommodate my request for this job so quickly that even I was caught by surprise (positive) as they were able to schedule me in a couple of days. The staff who did the job were Freddy and Steven. As I requested with Jason, I asked for a call about an hour before the staff's arrival at my apt as it's currently unoccupied. I got a call from Javier exactly an hour before the promised start time and Freddy and Steve arrived right on time! Freddy was already aware of the "special" request I had with the bathroom shelf and after a quick run-down, work started and was done in a couple of hours. Freddy and Steve knew exactly what they were doing (notable since this was not a standard job) and everything was completed in a couple of hours! I will definitely be working with Precision again and I highly recommend the company as it's very comforting to work with a highly professional organization that does excellent work! (original review from 3 weeks ago) I used Precison Painting's services in March 2025 to have my apartment painted. I was very happy with the overall experience. On my first call to Precision, they were able to give me a rough price estimate and date availability. This was a pleasant surprise as I needed the job done soon and, it's always hard to confirm an appointment without having an idea of price. (Of course, the final price quote had to be confirmed upon providing further details via email but this was done very quickly as well) My primary contacts at Precision were Jason and Trish. Both were very professional, efficient and friendly in their communication. And, they were able to accommodate my request on a few days' notice. We kept in regular contact throughout the process and calls and emails were returned promptly. The overall quality of the work was great. I met Javier (Project Manager) at my property just before work started to go over any relevant issues. The team were there on time and ready to start working immediately. Javier was also very professional and put me at ease to the point that I only checked on the quality of the job after the painting team was done and already left the property. One important thing to keep in mind for those not familiar with big jobs (i.e. painting, flooring, plumbing, etc.) for most New York city buildings is the insurance coverage of the contractors. Some companies will not have this ready or have sufficient coverage to complete jobs in some buildings. Precision Painting was on top of all required paperwork and approvals for this aspect of the job.

I did the "adult" thing & got three quotes. The other two were late, wish washy, cheaper but would take a long time. Anyone who has had work done or painting knows that having a bunch of strangers in your home sucks & creates chaos. Best to pay more to get the job done. Ross from Precision painting showed up on time (usually early during the job), had an industry discount with high-end Farrow & Ball paint, & left me his business card like a professional. He also knew about priming over different colors & surfaces & what my specific project needed for gloss levels, etc. Ross' quote was reasonable & he would be faster than the other guys. I confirmed with the woman holding down the organized office & decided to sign with them. Of course I added in wallpaper on the ceiling & crown moulding after I asked & Ross was calm about it, "yeah, we can do that" is not what I am used to hearing. He didn't second guess my wants as a woman & had capable men on hand to really make my dream room come true versus settling. We readjusted the quote to add in the new work & ALL FINANCIAL & TIME PARAMETERS WERE 100% CLEAR. There were no games around money or time- no saying he'd show up & then nothing. His crew were the best. They came early & were good people. Minimal mess. I have had all of this work done multiple times in the past with horrible messes & dust. I feel traumatized by past work but Ross + Precision Painting job was unbelievable. The room before was OK but boring & simplistic plus kind of messy & a bad paint job. The room now is my dream come to life. Thank you!!! No touch ups, no complaints, just perfection & precision!

This is the worse painting company I have ever dealt with. I hired them to do one room and I told…read moreRoss Shelley, the manager, that the wood cases was previously painted with oil and that proper prep work was required. He had one painter do the job. The paint job was a sloppy mess. Than the wood cases started to peel. We told him that he never sanded the existing oil. He insisted he did. He had a Benjamin Moore rep come to the house who told him that the casing were not sanded enough. Ross decided to strip it with peel away. He never had enough workers to do the job properly so the peel away dried and created a mess. All the wood casings needed heavy sanding since he never cleaned it. It was like he had no idea how to use the striper. We are two months into painting one room with no end in sight. We are now arguing about sanding the horrible strip job. My advice do not hire them!!!!!
