They were able to schedule this before Thanksgiving when I was having company, and got it done in one day. Everything turned out fine, except that at the end of the day they re-mounted my tension rod shower curtain which buckled the adjacent paint and when I took it down completely pulled the paint & primer off down to the previous color. Ivan was very apologetic and had a crew out the next day to make the repair, but that meant 2 days I had to leave work for this project instead of one. They would have received an A except for this error.

Ivan really accommodated me on this. He responded to my call and came the same day to look at the room to be painted. My need was urgent since bookcases were to be moved in any day. He got his men in within two days; they worked on a Saturday for us. I will use him for the rest of my condo as soon as I can stand to dismantle the rooms. One small problem was in not fully filling in the hole for a vent cover, but as soon as I noticed it I contacted Ivan who offered to have it taken care of immediately. I chose to wait until he is here to do the rest of the work. They were very careful of my new floor and cleaned up after themselves perfectly.
Description of Work: Painted my dining room that had not been painted for years. He made repairs where electrical outlet work had been done and filled holes where insulation had been blown in, also other spots. His people did an excellent job and my walls now look beautiful. They completed this in one day, finishing by mid afternoon.

Great! Ivan came out to estimate the job and was very professional. He gave us a very fair quote. They showed up on time to do the work and did a great job. Other estimates we got said the job would take up to 4 days, Ivan and his crew finished in a little over 4 hours!
Description of Work: Installed crown molding on the first floor of my house, roughly 200 feet. The $730 cost included materials, but not the cost of the crown molding.

They cleaned up well and used covering where appropriate. They predicted it would take a week. It took less and I am very satisfied with the work. They were very prompt. They returned our keys and parking passes as expected. I have utter confidence that anything I need they can do at a reasonable price
Description of Work: They did a very professional job. They painted the entire interior of my two and a half floor townhouse.

From the initial estimate meeting, Ivan was personable and professional. He removed his shoes and his crew also did the same everyday when they started work. Ivan was a great communicator, listening and suggesting ideas as we went through the house. One of the best things about him is that he completely understood the need to use VOC paint since our daughter had allergies and asthma. He also shared he had two small children and was sensitive families with children. Every day they were on time and worked 5 full days and came back two times on Saturday to do touch up work and installed a bathroom light and replaced light switches. Ivan asked after the third day if they could stay later since we stayed at a family members house. They completed the work before the estimated end time. It was a pleasure to work with Ivan and his team, they went above and beyond the work as they installed the light and switches. We highly recommend them and plan to call them in the future.

Ivan, the owner, was very professional when he came to give us an estimate. He walked through each room, talked about potential challenges and asked a lot of questions. The price he gave us was very fair, and after receiving an estimate, we agreed to his proposal. The work took five days. Two painters took care of the work with Ivan stopping in every few days to check in. The painters were courteous and moved all the furniture carefully as was necessary. The only small mishap was while painting in the kitchen, the managed to unhook the phone wires in the jack. As this is our only working outlet for phone & Internet, this was a problem, but the next morning they reconnected everything without an issue. The estimate ended up being slightly lower than the final cost, as one of the bathrooms was found to have wallpaper, paint and then another layer of wallpaper which all needed to be removed and took longer than anticipated.
Description of Work: Nova Forma painted eight different rooms. They painted the walls and touched up the trim in the living room and dining room, which including removing a wall mirror in the living room. They removed wall mirrors and wall paper in the entryway and painted. The removed wallpaper (including on the ceiling) and painted two bathrooms. They painted and touched up the trim in two bedrooms. They painted part of the basement. And they removed wallpaper and painted in the kitchen.

First of all, the freshly painted rooms look great, there are NO touch ups that need to be done. Wilbur and Paul spent a great deal of time laying down plastic to protect our carpets, flooring and belongings. When they left, the furniture in the room was back where it had been before the painting. (This was unexpected and a big gift!)
Description of Work: Wilbur and Paul painted our basement, loft, hallway and repaired patches when insulators had cut into the ceiling drywall. They also repainted a ceiling section that another company had painted last year. Nova Forma's painting job is the best we have ever had. Moreover, they cleaned up after the work. And the biggest surprise was that they moved the furniture back where it had originally been without complaints or requests for additional fees.

Overall my wife and I are pleased with the work and our house looks much better. Ivan was a good listener, professional and punctual. The job started and finished when I expected it to. Ivan also did a few additional jobs not originally quoted (our rear stairwell from the basement) which they managed to fit into the overall schedule. I would highly recommend Ivan to other people - you will be very pleased.
Description of Work: Ivan and his crew painted all rooms (3 bedroom 2 story SFH), stairwell, closets and some retouching for window frames. They also painted all base boards and trim. We bought a new home and it needed brightening and freshing up with new paint.

After reading the wonderful reviews of this company, I was really looking forward to them providing an estimate. I spoke with Ivan personally, who set up an estimate appointment to occur three days later. I was very disappointed to receive a call from the company, the morning of the appointment, advising that the appointment was canceled because Ivan did not service my area! This was very surprising since when I had spoken with Ivan directly, providing my address for the estimate, he never mentioned it was out of his area. I was very disappointed. I advised them that the Angie's page does not post a warning that they do not service my area.
Description of Work: Needed an estimate for interior painting; kitchen trim, entire living room, foyer, hallway, 3 bedrooms with ceilings, ceiling in family room

Ivan arrived as scheduled to complete the estimate. The work was scheduled for the next day. The crew arrived on time. Covered the cabinets, counter tops, draperies and floor. The work was done quickly and very professionally. The workmanship was outstanding. The crew cleaned up after the job. The paint job was excellent, and the repair was completed, and no one would ever know there was leak. The job was completed on short notice on a Saturday, which justifies the price for the small job. Very pleased with the service.
Description of Work: Painted kitchen ceiling. Patched small water damaged area(6x12inches).

We had a crack in the ceiling of our bedroom. Ivan took a look at it and said it reminded him of a ceiling that fell in on someone. We were planning to have him patch it up and paint it. Now, a simple painting job has grown to be a messy plaster job. Ivan bid a very fair price. We scheduled the work to start on a Monday morning several weeks in the future. Ivan stayed in touch as the big day approached. My wife and I took the furniture out of the bedroom over the weekend. Ivan and his crew arrived promptly on schedule. He said he would finish the project by Friday at the latest. Pulling down a room of plaster is very messy, but this crew contained the mess in the bedroom. They put down plastic on the stairs and carried out the stuff with no spilling. When they were done, the bedroom and stairs were cleaner than when they began. They finished on Thursday and stayed to help me move furniture.

For the estimate, Ivan came promptly and provided the estimate after about 2 days via e-mail. We already bought the paint, so that was not included in the job. After we decided to go with Nova Forma, they were able to do the job about 2 weeks later. There was a crew of two, and the whole thing took about 6 hours to complete. They did a very nice job protecting the carpet in the bedroom. In the bathroom, there were a few small paint spatters - nothing major and nothing we decided to contact the company about. Overall, it was a good job. The paint looks nice, the estimate was fair.
Description of Work: Painted bedroom walls, ceiling and closets; painted bathroom walls, ceiling and trim, caulking bathtub.

Ivan came out right away and gave an estimate for a few rooms in my house. He was quick to answer and respond to e-mails. We ended up just having the bathroom painted. Ivan did a great job, was very professional and I have already recommended him to my mother-in-law who is having her condo painted.

Ivan and his guys were AWESOME! These guys are total perfectionists and did an amazing job. Ivan was very easy to work with; very responsive and accommodating. Not only was the painting pristine, but Ivan worked with me when I added more work at the last minute (some trim and ceiling work and the plaster work in the kitchen which was a lot of work). The job came in exactly at estimate for the original work I asked for and the added stuff was simply charged at a reasonable hourly rate. I am so pleased with the work they did that next time I need painting done, I will wait as long as I need to in order to get Ivan over any other painter (although I didn't have to wait; he was available less than a week from the day he did the estimate). You cannot go wrong with Nova Forma.
Description of Work: Painted the walls and most of the trim and ceilings in the kitchen, dining room, TV room, entryway, stairway, hallway, nursery and two bathrooms. Touched up the living room and fixed all the plaster on the backsplash in the kitchen.

The job was excellent. Ivan and his team came in on the Friday morning and started moving the furniture and protecting all the floors and non-paint areas with extensive plastic. Paint was delivered, and the job started and lasted 1.5 day, after which all furniture was put back. My girlfriend and I were away for the weekend allowing for the paint job, and when we returned, all the furniture was pretty much exactly in place, with no stains, no damage, and no spilling. After inspecting the job, we judged it excellent and would surely recommend anyone to work with Ivan. The job was fast and the best price we got by far.
Description of Work: They did an interior paint job in the loft with high ceilings. They required painting of the first floor walls with 2 colors; ceilings are 22 ft. high.

Ivan met my husband at our place in the middle of our move into our new condo and he confidently assessed the job. He emailed his estimate two days later and when we compared the estimate to others- well, we had to go with Ivan. We set a date for painting only three days after that- on a Friday. Ivan and his workers arrived right on time, 8:45 AM, and got right to work. We had moved our furniture into the centers of the rooms, but they covered everything in plastic for extra protection. Ivan had predicted that the job would take 2 days (Fri and Sat), but he called my husband's cell at 5:30 PM on Friday and asked, 'Can we stay until 6:30 PM because we can finish by then?' Of course! Ivan was professional, reasonably priced and QUICK. We love our paint job!
Description of Work: They painted our entryway and kitchen in one color; and the living room/dining room, hallway and master bedroom in another color. There was a little sanding involved but not much since our place is a new construction.

Did an excellent job protecting furniture, flooring and carpet during painting. Punctual, courteous, responsive. Would hire them again in the future.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME IN SUBMITTING A REPORT FOR US. I REALLY DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO EVEN SEND THE PROPOSALS, EVEN LESS TO "JACK UP" PROPOSALS. FIRST OF ALL, THE PRICE IS INCORRECT, SECOND, THE WORK DESCRIBED IS INCOMPLETE, BECAUSE IT IS MUCH MORE THAN WHAT SHE DESCRIBES. I HAVE A COPY OF THE PROPOSAL FOR ANY REQUEST. I AM GLAD THE MEMBER HAD HER PROJECT DONE ON THAT PRICE. MY QUALITY OF WORK AND MATERIALS PREVENTS ME FROM CHARGING $341. SINCERELY, IVAN BERMEO, NOVA FORMA COMPANY, PRESIDENT

They were all fantastic. They were punctual, professional and attentive to our requests. I highly recommend them to anyone. They also did some faux finishing and tiling for us, and did a great job despite my extreme attention to detail. They did everything within budget and under the time they estimated.

I HAD NO KNOWLEDGE THAT MS. THILL IS AN ANGIE'S LIST MEMBER. I WAS INFORMED THAT SHE RECEIVED MY NUMBER THROUGH RECOMMENDATION. THE PROPOSAL I SENT HER HAD CLEAR EXPLANATION OF EACH JOB THAT WILL BE PERFORMED AND THE PRICE FOR EACH. THE PRICES ARE SET FOR ALL THE JOBS EQUALLY. SHE WAS NOT FORCED TO TAKE THE JOB, WE NEVER CALLED HER BACK TO SEE IF SHE ACCEPTED THE PROPOSAL. WE NEVER STARTED THE JOB, SHE NEVER SIGNED THE CONTRACT, SO THERE IS NO REASON FOR THIS REPORT, IF SHE DOES NOT AGREE WITH OUR PRICE, SHE CAN LOOK FOR ANY OTHER COMPANY SHE WANTS. BUT THANKS FOR CONSIDERING OUR ESTIMATE. SINCERELY, IVAN BERMEO, NOVA FORMA COMPANY PRESIDENT
