It looks wonderful. Rish was, as always, quite professional and responsive. He showed up on time and the place looks great. There were a few sloppy parts, but in general it was quite good. They also repaired our mantle, which we didn't expect at all.
Description of Work: Rish and his crew painted four rooms in our house, including trim.

This is the second time we have used Big Brush, and as with the first experience, we were very satisfied. Although his waiting list was long, Rish fit us in when he could and did their usual excellent work. The only disappointment was that the job took longer than we expected, but I think that was because the quote was given over the phone (as we had been customers before) and the job was more complicated than we had led him to believe.
Description of Work: Rish and his crew painting my bathroom and several new windows (interior). They also performed touch up work throughout.

Rish quoted me a price two days before the job, showed up the next day to look at the job, did the job the next day, all before our tenant got home on short notice. His eye was good enough to see that the walls were linen white and was able to match the color. I had no problems with him, and his work was excellent.
Description of Work: ''Disappearing'' holes in the wall were left by the insulation job. He did skim coating over rough patches, sanding, priming, painting/blending to match existing paint.

It was great! Rish and staff were professional, pleasant, and did a great job. We were afraid that our old walls would be difficult to paint (we have always had wallpaper), but they did a great job and they look like new! We will be calling him again when we are ready to do the other rooms in the house.
Description of Work: Stripped wallpaper from living room, dining room, 2 hallways, and staircase. Painted ceilings, all walls, trim, doors, built-in bookcases, radiators, and cabinets.

Excellent! Rish was respectful, prompt and hard working. Many contractors throughout our new construction were less than respectful. Sometimes using language that would make a sailor blush. Rish and his crew were all gentlemen. He knew his profession and he knows the long lost art of listening. Many contractors' form of listening is waiting for me to stop talking NOT RISH. We got the colors right and the colors in the right places, because he listened and cared.
Description of Work: Painted the entire interior of my new construction home.

Our overall experience working with Rish and his team was good. Rish provided us with an estimate in a timely manner, and was specific in terms of the work to be completed. Wife perspective: At the beginning of the job we asked if we should cover the remaining large furniture pieces, and they stated they would do this and not to worry. They only covered the pieces with a thin plastic. In turn, at the end of the job there was damage to these new furniture pieces. While they were here, they flooded the toilet twice without comment. We asked that the kitchen be closed off to work and they said they would, but instead we had a kitchen full of plaster dust. For the last part of our work we were out of town and gave them a key. We returned to a broken window that they refused to take ownership of. The end product looks great. The process was very stressful with a number of issues along the way, which could have been prevented if Rish would have been on site with his workers.
Description of Work: Stripped wall paper in three rooms, skim coated the walls with compound in those rooms, primed and painted the walls. Installed sheet rock in ceilings of three rooms, foyer and staircase. Painted two other rooms. Painted front and side porch surfaces, and replaced a few shingles on side of the house. The initial work requested did not include skim coating the walls with compound, nor did it include the painting of two more rooms, which added to the time it took to complete the project. Nevertheless, even taking this additional work into consideration, completing the job took much longer than planned mainly because they had multiple projects they were working on at the same time.

Rish and his crew were great to work with. They put in the time needed on a weekend to do the job; really helping me out of a jam. There was some heavy duty sealant needed in the living room due to a prior poor quality paint job. They used excellent materials. Would hire them again in a minute.

Big Brush (Rish Green and co-workers) did an excellent job putting new paint colors in my new condo. They were able to do the work in a narrow window of time (I gave a few weeks advance notice), and did the work on schedule. Quality of painting was excellent---neat edges, uniform color, high quality paint (Benjamin Moore). They were flexible when I wanted to slightly alter a color after seeing one coat. Very easygoing and easy to work with. They did leave behind a few small, errant paint splotches here and there, but that's probably inevitable in any paint job. It was an excellent value for the price, and I would definitely hire them again.
Description of Work: Painted most of interior walls in a 1000 square foot apartment. I didn't need any painting of trim or ceilings. Painting was done on top of clean, recently painted walls---I just wanted different colors. Apartment was empty during job.

Rish and his team were superb! We were in a rush, and they finished the entire job less than 2 weeks(!) after our first contact. We are impressed with the results -- they completely transformed the look and feel of our house. They were also very reasonably priced. Finally, Rish was a pleasure to interact with, and was responsive to email and phone calls. We highly recommend Big Brush Painting, and would not hesitate to hire them again.

Rish and his crew did a great job. Rish was very responsive with the estimate, which came in well below the other estimates I received. He was able to start working right away, and he and his crew did a fabulous job. They were extremely careful and did a beautiful job with both the interior and exterior work. They were also a pleasure to work with. They were very polite and respectful of my house and property. I would definitely have Rish back for other jobs and would recommend him for anyone else in my neighborhood or on Angie's list.

Very prompt to call back and do estimate. Prompt for all meetings. Very professional, yet flexible in how detailed the work should be. I think I could have had the work done for a little less money, but not as quickly or professionally. Called immediately when there was a complication. Had options for solution. Completed the work in good time. Cleaned up fairly well after themselves. Did everything but put back all the curtain rods and window shades,and clean up dust on surfaces other than the floor from sheetrocking.
Description of Work: Painted walls, ceiling and trim in 4 small rooms and a hallway. Put up sheetrock on some ceilings before painting.

We had just painted the bedroom an awful blue color and were tentative about choosing a new color. Rishava worked with us to help us choose a color based on an ''inspiration'' piece and using the Benjamin Moore website. He was also flexible with scheduling the job. The price included paint and supplies as well. They did have to come back a second time to do some additional painting because there were some coverage issues in some areas of the room. He had a bit of scheduling difficulty but came on a Sunday to get it done and we are very happy with the results.
Description of Work: We hired Big Brush to paint the walls of our master bedroom. We did not have them do trim, windows or doors, as those had recently been painted white.

Overall, a great experience. Rish came and gave me an estimate on the day that I called, which was very reasonable. He arrived on time the day the work was performed, did a nice job, and cleaned up well when he left (I trusted him completely to lock up after I went to work). He's also a super nice guy. I would definitely use his services again.
Description of Work: Rish deglazed and painted my medium size living room with three coats of paint.

Rish was a pleasure to work with. First, he returned our initial call (and all subsequent calls) promptly and professionally. His bid was the lowest we received. He was able start the job earlier than anticipated, and to finish in a reasonable amount of time. (Although it did take longer than expected, this was due in part to the repair work being more extensive than we initially thought). Even with the extra work, Rish kept to the original price quote and made sure that we were happy with the results. Best of all, the rooms turned out beautifully! Although his crew is small, they produced excellent results for us, and we will definitely use them again.
Description of Work: We had several rooms painted (living room, family room, dining room, study, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, part of the hallway). In most cases, extensive prep work was required, including tearing out old plaster, reboarding, extensive patching and wallpaper removal.

Rish was extremely polite, professional, and responsive. He, and his crew did an excellent job preparing the walls, woodwork, and painting. The result is wonderful, and we would absolutely hire them again. The price was very competitive with one other quote we had, and a lot less than another quote, but Rish was BY FAR the nicest to deal with of any painter we contacted.
Description of Work: Big Brush painted our dining room, two bedrooms, a bathroom, a staircase (including the stair risers), the second floor landing, and the woodwork around a new sliding door.

RISH IMMEDIATELY RETURNED MY CALL, VISITED MY CONDO ON THE SAME DAY, AND EMAILED ME A QUOTE THE FOLLOWING DAY. HIS QUOTE WAS THE MOST COMPETITIVE PRICE, BUT WHAT REALLY MADE ME CHOOSE HIM WAS HIS EASY STYLE OF COMMUNICATION. I FELT THAT HE MADE CERTAIN WE AGREED ON THE JOB: WHICH SECTIONS WERE TO BE PAINTED AND IN WHAT COLORS. HE AND HIS ASSISTANT WERE PUNCTUAL, TIDY, RESPECTFUL OF MY LIVING SPACE, AND FINISHED THE JOB ON TIME AND TO MY FULL SATISFACTION. FRIENDS WHO HAVE SEEN MY CONDO SINCE THE PAINT JOB HAVE COMPLIMENTED THE WORK. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND BIG BRUSH PAINTING COMPANY.

RISH GREEN, THE OWNER, WAS VERY COOPERATIVE, PLEASANT, AND PROFESSIONAL. HE VISITED TO GIVE ME AN ESTIMATE SHORTLY AFTER I SPOKE WITH HIM AND COMPLETED THE WORK WITHIN THREE DAYS, AS HE SAID HE WOULD. HIS PRICES ARE VERY REASONABLE, AND THE QUALITY VERY GOOD. WHEN I ASKED HIM TO REPAINT A WALL SINCE I DID NOT LIKE THE COLOR I HAD CHOSEN, HE WAS VERY ACCOMODATING AND COURTEOUS. HE CLEANED UP AFTER EACH DAY OF WORK, AND DID A GREAT JOB. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND BIG BRUSH.
