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!!

First of all Coleman got back to me very quickly with an estimate.. He wasn't the cheapest but my…read moregut said to go with him. I have a 1000 sq ft condo that i needed painted and all of the rooms would be a different color. we had a bit of a hiccup the first time we were supposed to meet (my fault) but he sent Lou the next day to take pictures and do a full estimate. Lou was awesome very professional but personable at the same time. When it came time for painting, they were awesome.. I made sure they knew i wasn't in a rush to have things completed so they really took their time which I didn't mind at all.. My house was a bit of a mess but that was to be expected. After two weeks they were finally done (again i wasn't in any rush) the place came out perfect. paint was perfect . molding was perfect and they left me with minimal mess I didn't get to see them very much during the process. They came after I left for work and were gone before i came home (yes i left them a key). but my wife spoke to them and she says the same thing. very pleasant very professional and very good at what they do. He kept me updated on EVERY step of the way even stuff I didn't understand, he made sure he told me about. I just said ok.. He even fixed my balcony door because it was bothering him and a ceiling fan that i asked to be installed at the last minute. Like i said in the beginning he wasn't the cheapest but the expression "you get what you pay for" comes to mind when I think about Coleman and his crew. I think his prices were very reasonable, he's a good communicator and was very professional. I would totally call them again if i have any more work to be done, i would recommend them to anyone that asked and i actually miss having them around (other than the "mess" lol)

A friend of mine hired Coleman for a big job on an East Village historical building, (they re-did…read moreflooring, took down a wall; DEstruction & CONstruction). It was a massive, several-month operation. My friend was so happy with the results that when I needed work done on my own place he recommended Coleman. My job was comparatively small. I needed my apartment re-finished. I was told the job could be finished in two weekends - and it was. Coleman and his guys were friendly and professional, they earned my trust right away - which is important when people are working in your home. They kept me up to speed on their progress and asked me questions along the way to make sure things were happening the way I wanted. I would recommend Paint In The City to anyone in New York. These guys give attention to detail, no matter how big the job is. The price is right and the results speak for themselves.
