He even sent us a few pictures of similar work he had done. We sent him the deposit and was all set. Rained pretty heavily on Friday and he reached out and said he thinks it would be best to reschedule for Saturday at 9am due to needing to possibly saw some pieces outside. Liked that he took the initiative to reschedule instead of taking a chance. Showed up perfectly on time on Saturday, all supplies ready to go. Told us he thought the work would take 2-3 hours- he was done in about an hour! Did a great job and you can't even tell the difference between the existing door frame and the new piece. Left everything in great condition and requested a broom so he sweep up. We also have a kitchen cabinet that cracked- and wanted to show him. He explained how we could easily and cheaply just fix it ourselves. So cool. Really nice guy who does great work- we will keep him in mind for future needs and highly recommend him!

This review is long overdue - we used Philip and his crew back in the summer of 2012 for our 3 br 2…read moreba apartment in Harlem. There was a spiral staircase area in the living room with really high walls that were being painted a brick red - the team was so neat there was zero splatter on the floors, stairs, white railings. The walls of all the bedrooms were also painted super neatly - with extreme attention to detail unlike other paint jobs I've experienced before and since then. If you're lucky enough to be able to have his team fit you in, go for it - you won't be disappointed!

On two occasions after home renovations work, Philip Banks and his PB Paints crew did phenomenal…read morejobs repainting most of our Murray Hill coop. Two bedrooms, oversized living room, entryway, long long hallway and a bathroom. He's a perfectionist and his crew does beautiful work that pays attention to the details. He shows his value by insisting that all sketchy surface areas be skim-coated before being painted, and that at least two coats be applied to all surfaces. The trim on our several pairs of French doors is perfect. Cleanup is complete, and his crew works hard to minimize disruption. When his painters have completed their tasks, he inspects all their work to ensure it meets his high standards and he has on more than one occasion pulled out a brush at the last minute to fix some tiny flaw he detected. He is also very creative and open to new ideas and paint types and techniques. His prices, while quite reasonable, are higher than your average paint crew but you get what you pay for. For both jobs, I ended up paying him extra based on the services he provided in excess of what was minimally required.

Hired him to paint, do some patch work & molding. Showed up more than an hour late for a quote (bad…read moresign), promised us that it would take 1 day if he brought 4 guys BUT at the appointed day, came an hour late, brought only himself (!), when confronted gave a lame a$$ excuse, didn't apologize & sat down to eat, text & yak on the phone for an hour before finally getting to work. Sigh. This is going to be a LONG day. He had to move all the heavy furniture himself & damaged a piece. He was dismissive & unapologetic (laughed) but made a feeble attempt at "repair" when confronted. Also, each time his phone rang (which was constant) he would drop & stop everything to yak only to eventually cradle the phone & try to paint. Not a reassuring picture! Of course, he couldn't finish so had to come the next day. Next day, he brought an additional guy (I suspect because HE was in a rush to finish because he had another job planned) but tried to skip out without putting any furniture/pictures back in place (again had to be confronted), left soiled papers strewn about & refused to give me a receipt for a cash payment even though told repeatedly beforehand one was needed as proof of payment. (I had to to make one up right there, on the spot for him to sign). He acts as if HE's the boss. Unless you set him straight. Bottom line: You'll have to be assertive (he's that guy) otherwise, he'll walk all over you & take advantage. And even then, it'll only be an ok job.

We highly recommend Tomas for all general contracting work. Late last fall, we moved into a house…read morein Queens, which required a decent amount of work given the age of the building - our scope of work included refinishing flooring, painting the entire building (4 floors), basement refinishing, changing lighting structure, installation of handrails throughout the house, and bathroom remodeling. As you can imagine, contracting is a stressful process, especially since it requires a lot of trust and the size of the investment. We wanted to find someone who could handle the entire scope of work. After soliciting ~5 quotes, we chose Tomas since he seemed the most knowledgeable about safety codes, asked questions that reflected his knowledge of construction (many general contractors just outsource work while Tomas does a significant amount himself), he had a quote that included everything (allowed us to pick out materials and to pay for cost differences versus the assumed budgeted amount, we could just tell Tomas what materials we wanted and he would pick it up for implementation), and the final price was very reasonable. We ended up having him paint our old Brooklyn apartment as well since we were so pleased with working with him. PROS: - Tomas is very trust-worthy and can handle very large projects reliably. In a situation where he saw a safety issue in our boiler room, he went above and beyond to cover the room in metal sheeting for fire containment. We gave him our keys for entry/exit for several months and didn't worry about security. Tomas is very honest and we really appreciated his expertise and hard work - Tomas can handle projects of different types so it made the renovation process much easier. We could add on additional jobs which came at a reasonable price. Unlike various contracting horror stories, we had a really good experience and felt that he was very fair and upfront about costs - Tomas does quality work and doesn't try to nickel/dime for his work. (EX: for our Brooklyn painting job, we had a painter quote added fees for closet doors, an additional fee for one crack in the wall, and an additional fee for the ceiling height in the kitchen. Tomas just gave one quote and fixed up all the unseemly parts under the fixed price) - We are very pleased with our final result! We love our new bedroom lighting (recessed lighting that required new sheetrock for the ceiling), our revamped basement/bathroom, and the fresh coat of paint on the house. The before/after pictures are really significant and Tomas really transformed our space - Tomas is really reliable. We had an situation where we needed something on a hard deadline and an unfortunate mishap occurred. Tomas came in and fixed the problem even when it took him to 2 AM in the morning. CONS: - This isn't a negative on Tomas per se (we recommend him very strongly), but if you are refinishing wood flooring, probably better to go with someone who specializes in refinishing wood flooring since this is an area where specialization does make a huge difference versus a general contractor. Tomas is great in lighting, tiling, general contracting (bathroom/basement in our case), painting, among other activities, but wood flooring is an area that I potentially would have done differently. I'm not displeased with the result and Tomas definitely fixed our most problem areas, but for those who care about wood flooring in older houses, I think hiring a specialist would be better here. We highly recommend Tomas! He is truly great to work with!!
