Really great experience with Painters NYC. Tim and his assistant painted two recently renovated…read morerooms in my apartment. I needed help deciding between a few Ben Moore color choices, one of which they specifically recommended themselves, which made it easier. They were both friendly and seemed to take the task with patience, which I appreciated. I didn't want to put too much work into it, because the room set up is pretty established and I just wanted a refresh, but obviously still wanted everything to look good! I'm glad I found these guys because that's exactly what I got. The process was really easy from start to finish - I filled out an online contact form on their site and got a call to get the ball rolling the next day. An estimator came to give me quote and went through the process - what color I should buy/was recommended and how much I should buy based on how many layers he thought I'd need. Since it was just two rooms, they said it could all be done in a day! We scheduled the painting for a few days later based on my schedule. They did a great job of not getting paint on ANYTHING and I didn't pay until everything was totally done. I paid via credit card but understood that they accept payment with Venmo and PayPall too which is awesome. Overall would highly recommend - painless process and great results!

It's like people bring the dust and leave it everywhere. And since it teach and a lot of students go through the the space I often need the service. Unfortunately there are also a lot of shady painters that don't do the job well, which annoys me so much ( it would any person with OCD). So I'm super pleased that I called these guys. I definitely recommend them, they are quick and clean and I kid had to leave a review because a wonderful service like this definitely deserves it.

I was on Fulton street and walked into this store that I accidentally found while in the area.

I told him that he couldn't do that and that only my building could. The owner reassured me that he had all the equipment in that store and he would be able to CLONE my FOB so I'd have an extra set of keys and a FOB just in case I lost my original ones. He was right! I live in Brooklyn and when I got home even the FOB worked. This place gave me great customer service and really came through. They certainly know what they are doing.

Last fall we had a color made up at Janovic on 7th Avenue (not 3rd Ave) by bringing in the sample…read morewhich was something that a professional artist had developed. Janovic made the paint and they put the label on top constituting the various colors and the base that was involved. Then they slapped a circle with a small color swatch over it. Now you can't see the formula. We contacted them and sent a pic and said "can you pull up this formula?" They said yes, we have it we have it in our Database. If you want more come by and we'll make it for you." Well we thought great but we don't want more. We just want the formula since we provided the original color to you in case we want to make it later on. "They said we can't do it...it's proprietary. " (I can assure you they have made paint from Sherwin-Williams or Farrow-Ball. But this isn't even another Co.'s paint. This is Benjamin Moore paint and we provided the proprietary paint chip for them to make it. Anyone with a decent spectrophotometer can copy a paint ---it happens all the time but it's not like we were stealing something. This was our paint! I said "you have already given us the formula, but you covered it up! We paid for the paint. You should at least share the formula again." I then went to a different Benjamin Moore dealer, showed them a photo of the paint and explained the situation. They were stunned. We tried to get them to match it from the photo, but it isn't accurate. They found it absurd that Janovic would withhold the formula for a color we had already paid to have made. As a matter of fact, they didn't charge us for the four different samples they made trying to match it. But trying to match color on an iPhone is ridiculous. My advice: if you bring in a custom paint sample, make sure you write down the formula or make sure that it's visible-- just in case you ever want to use a different Benjamin Moore dealer, move and want to recreate the color later. This isn't a proprietary issue. If anything, they're the ones holding our proprietary color hostage. The other Benjamin Moore dealer I spoke with called the situation representative of poor service that is non-client centric, and said it was clear Janovic cared more about making a sale than serving the customer. As that dealer put it: "They gave you the formula, you just can't read it -- and now they're making you buy more paint just to get the formula they already gave you, but you can't see ???? They don't deserve your business." Perhaps they only provide good customer service when they're going to make a sale. There are better much options. And there are clearly other Benjamin Moore retailers who are willing to help.

One of the benefits of being a Property Manager of 50+ units is in being able to recognize a vendor…read morethat is efficient and professional and that is what we discovered in this company when we recently updated a condo in Englewood, NJ. From the first contact via Yelp, Jorge Ontiveros, owner of Century Painting LLC, provided exceptional customer service, especially in his communication with his client with regards to the project. He promptly responded to all inquiries before, during and even after the work was completed. What was impressive was he seem to intuitively understand our needs as his client and was quick to resolve any concerns we may have had. We had contacted over seven companies for the project before entrusting our condo project with Jorge and the results were fantastic! During the project, Jorge would sent updates with photos and description of what had transpired during the work, without being asked. If you appreciate such attention to detail in communication, you would absolutely appreciate this as much as we did. Jorge and his team members each seem to have their area of expertise in getting the paint work completed. Initially the project was slated to be completed in 3-4 days; however, with his team of Carlos, Mario, Sebastian and Hugo, they were able to complete the work beautifully in 2.5 days. We also appreciate their conscientious safeguarding efforts during COVID-19. Thank you for your fantastic work, Jorge! We are glad to be your first review but we are certain you will have many more to come! :) -----------------------------­--------------------­­­­-------- LOCATION: The company services Teaneck, NJ to within 25 miles of the vicinity, including New York City region. SERVICE: Exceptional communication (phone/text/photos), willing to spend time to answer questions and to requests. Pre-prep work was done well, they covered the floors and lighting well, removed all the plug plates and appliances to full painting coverage. The painters are very skilled and thorough, covered every visible (and even hard-to-see) cracks, bumps and holes for a smooth finish. Very organized and clean-up was very well done, PROS: Jorge and his team seem to take great pride in their work, and the results reflect in the remarkable results. They are legitimately registered with State of New Jersey and fully insured. Jorge will even provide you their full insurance information when you request it. CONS: They may need to use your fridge to store their lunch. :D PRICE: Price is competitive and on-par with other rates. However, their service outshines others by far, as they were chosen after couple of other vendors showed poor or questionable communication and/or paperwork. -----------------------------­--------------------­­­­---------

I was on the market for painters to help paint my entire apartment (2br 2ba including doors, trim…read moreand baseboards). After doing some research, I knew I wanted to use BJ Moore Regal Select paint which was consistently ranked as the best quality interior paint and we had our colors & finishes already selected. I reached out to 5 different painters to learn about their services, get estimates and I scheduled in-person walkthroughs for my top 2 choices. The walkthrough meeting and followup Q&A really sold me on Century Painting, we hired them and were not disappointed. Jorge (the owner) was responsive, very professional, timely and offered helpful advice about care / maintenance. I requested an initial estimate and covered the majority of questions thru Yelp, shared photos and a floor plan over text, and covered followup questions with Jorge over text and a brief walkthrough meeting I requested so I could get better acquainted with them and be completely transparent about the project scope for our specific space so there wouldn't be any surprises down the road (we have high ceilings and structural beams that might be tricky). Jorge was quick to meet and he provided a firm estimate in writing to me over email. Jorge provided a very competitive quote for the job and he required no advance deposit (most required 10-50% down). He also accepted credit card payment as an option, with full payment expected only when they completed the project (note: they were the only painter of the 5 that accepted credit cards). Jorge and Carlos showed up on time every morning, was able to provide a COI to meet my bldg's requirements, and they came ready to work with all the necessary paint and supplies. They took good care to move / cover our furniture and hardwood floors so they were protected and made sure to return everything clean and put back in place. Jorge encouraged us to identify any holes we may need patched or painting misses that needed correction - tbh, most of these things were proactively detected by them first. They really paid meticulous attention to ensure the quality of their work - and invited us to call them if we had any issues after the project (since we have furniture being delivered following the project). We fortunately had a little paint leftover so we're keeping it just in case we scuff any of the new paint in the process. They were done with the project in 2 days (others quoted me for 3-5 days with 2-4 painters). They were truly a pleasure to work with. We chose 2 dark colors and 1 light color - everything got at least 2 coats of paint but the dark colors required at least 4 coats. It came out beautifully (see pictures). I can't thank Jorge and Carlos enough. Highly recommend you check them out for yourself - I doubt you'll be disappointed.
