Five Star Painting of Bergen County

Christian and the crew arrived on time and began to work the entire immediately. job took 2 full days. The workers were neat, careful and very professional. The entire job was performed to my satisfaction. Just an FYI, the provider charges and additional 4% processing fee if you pay with a credit card.

I love these guys. They made my cleaning job that much easier after they were done painting. They were very punctual and professional. They promised they were going to do the job in two days and they surely did. They not only work fast, but they are extremely good at what they do. My house was left very clean each day and there was no evidence that a paint job had taken place in terms of a mess. My house looks like a magazine spread, you can tell it was painted by professionals. I would recommend these guys to anybody, I am super satisfied with their work.

I contracted with ProTect Painters to paint my kitchen and dining room in late December 2014. They began the work on schedule, completed the work on schedule and performed the work exactly as described in our agreement. The quality of the work was very good and Christian, his crew and his support staff were, at all times, pleasant and professional. I recommend this firm and will use them again in the future.

Christian and his crew were outstanding. He was responsive to our calls and answered all of our questions. The crew was on-time, very neat and did a great job. Color matching to our existing shutters was spot on. They were very careful not to damage our plants and did a nice job with clean up. No complaints whatsoever and we will be hiring them again for some interior painting. Absolutely would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

the big crew arrived on time and got right down to work -- my furniture and carpets were covered, the walls/ceilings were patched, sanded and painted and the job was FINISHED before the end of the day! What a relief to get this done!

Christian, Lena, and team were truly a blessing to our family. I found his name through my friend's angie's list. We had a rather complicated project which grew, and Christian, his family, and his employees were courteous, respectful, and considerate throughout the process. We had work done in 2 houses. Initially, we hired Christian for one project costing about 2500. But after watching Christian's personable and gracious demeanor, we decided to trust him with more. Eventually, project became much larger, and through out each step, Christian was always there with a humble and helpful attitude. He does not outsource his workers. We were burned previously with contractors who just drop laborers off and go off to other projects. Christian cared about the quality of his work personally, and his dad and his best friend and his family were all directly involved. Lena who answers the phones is also a pleasure to work with. One of the favorite things they say is, 'what do YOU want to do?' This sums it up. They are not in business to just make a quick buck. They are NOT arrogant, uncaring, and greedy like some other contractors. They care about what YOU want to accomplish and will do so with a great attitude. One example of this is that they would always respectfully take their shoes off in the house, and work in near silence. Always as a team, they would work together, and get things done on time. In the end, we felt truly blessed. We would not only hire them but also love to have them over for a BBQ. Phil & Kay

Chrisitan was a pleasure to work with. After estimate was done and work had started, we told him we had installed reclaimed wood on one of the walls and wanted it stained & sealed instead of painted....not a problem. Also, one morning we had to cancel with Christian at the last minute because of work being done by our contractor. He was very nice about it, even though I'm sure it disrupted his schedule. He came on Sunday morning to finish painting the molding and left us all the unused paint. We are very happy with how the basement looks. I would definitely recommend EC Painting/ProTect Painters.

Christian and Lina were incredible. My wife and I contracted ProTect Painters to paint the interior of our home and we couldn't have been happier. The provided us with a very fair estimate. The work was performed right away and the level of quality exceeded our expectations. I would recommend ProTect Painters to anyone and we are planning in having them back to do the exterior of our home next year!! They are the best!

Mr. Christian Cruz and his team are consummate professionals. We had a large job, that consisted of painting the entire interior of our home,power washing the outside and staining the deck. They treated my home as if it was theirs. They were punctual, professional and a pleasure to work with, but also very important, they gave me a fair price. The entire job inside and out took a total of 3 days.let me say that again,3 days. I tell all my family and friends about Christian. I'll see them again soon for my next project.

The painting was a good sign. We had him come over. He did a decent job for the price he gave us. We were overall satisfied. The walls of the staircase were kind of high and so it was not a suitable project for us. Since he did the job in less than one day, it worked out really well for us as far as timeline. He also accommodated our schedule. So it was a pretty good service. We went with him because of the reviews which were important to us. His price was not exactly the lowest but it neither wasn’t the highest. We got about 4 estimates we think and one was $300 cheaper, but we just felt comfortable with the work and with his explanation about what he was going to do and all that stuff.

Was very disappointed with Angie's List on this one.

We interviewed a number of contractors before narrowing our choices to EC and one other company. We opted to go with EC because we had a good feeling about the owner, Christian Cruz. Christian was very enthusiastic about doing work for us, and followed up his initial visit with a "thank you" email. Both Christian and Lina from his office readily followed up on our emails and phone calls. When it came time for the work to begin, the painters arrived on time, were courteous, and as unobtrusive as possible. We are pleased with the work that was done, and would not hesitate to use EC in the future for any of our painting needs.

From the fair pricing to the prompt and efficient service, having EC Painting / ProTect Painters in our home was a surprisingly pleasant experience. Christian's team of workers seemed to function like one happy family rather than a motley crew. They were quiet, fast, and courteous to each other and to us. They had no problem with doing little "extras" that were not part of the original estimate. After the job was completed and paid for, Christian suggested that we should take our time to look things over and call him if there was anything that needed to be corrected. We did come up with a list of small things that were overlooked (some of which were rather nit-picky). He did his best to find a time in his and our schedules to return with a group of men as soon as possible to address our concerns . Once again, everything was done cheerfully and efficiently.

On the day that I called for an estimate, Christian Cruz, the owner, came that very evening after finishing another job. He and his wife, Lena, meticulously went through the house making notes as to what I needed done. A tenant had just left the house and the house was being prepared for sale so It was in need of some refreshing. He gave me a price which was higher than another estimate I had, but then agreed to "match it". I was happy to do that because he was available at an earlier date than the other estimate. Then they even printed up an estimate from a printer in the van and gave it to me on the spot! The following day he came over to match colors in preparation for the job, and offered to move the job up a day and since the house was empty, it was very welcomed by me. Christian and his crew of 7 very professional, talented painters arrived very early on the painting day - each with his own area... walls, ceilings, trim, etc. The house buzzed with workers attending to every detail that the house looked "brand new" when they were done. There was an equally efficient clean-up crew to make sure nothing was painting that was not supposed to be. J Midway through the day, I pointed out to him that the color I wanted on the outside base of the house was one that would match the siding rather than a white. He said he may need to come back for that on Saturday since he didn't have that paint with him at the time and that was OK with me. I was very pleasantly surprised when I came back later in the afternoon to find that he was painting the base in a color that matched the house beautifully, just as I had requested! The entire house and outside base was finished in just the one day! Amazing! I couldn't possibly have been happier with the job, the quality of work, and the people! This company exceeded my expectations and I would highly recommend them to everyone!

The owner Christian and his team of two other painters completed the job in 2.5 days. They were very punctual arriving early in the morning and worked very quickly, quietly, and efficiently. They moved furniture for us in order to get the job done and were very meticulous about keeping all working areas clean and neat. Every day before they left they swept the floors and wiped up any remnants of paint on the floor. I particularly enjoyed working with Christian. He was very dedicated to making sure we were satisfied with their work and he also encouraged us to review their work and let them know if we saw anything that needed touched up. We plan on having all of our trim and moulding repainted in about 6 months and will definitely call EC Painting to do the job!

They did an excellent job and very professional. The painters were really nice and my neighbors indicated that when they came pass my house the painters spoke to them. I highly recommend Chris, Lina and Protect Painters to paint your house.

It went well. Two gentlemen arrived on time, covered all furniture, painted as requested, and cleaned up. I would use them again.

Christian and his team of 2 others did an excellent and professional job of painting at our home. The job was done very neatly and thoroughly, they completed the job in a timely manner and cleaned up everything when the job was done. All of the small details like spackling were tended to and I am very please with the results.

Christian and his associate came on time, moved the bedroom furniture and worked almost nonstop to apply 2 coats of paint to these 3 rooms and remove the wallpaper border. They worked efficiently, quickly and quietly together, which I appreciated, as I've had some workers in the past come and make constant loud noise or play loud music. They did a really nice job, were neat and left everything clean, moving the furniture back in place. They were a pleasure to work with and I would definitely hire them again.

Excellent. They were flexible to meet my timing. I called them right when I closed on my new home and they were able to arrive immediately to complete work in two days as promised. The paint job was done with lots of attention to detail.

They called to let me know that they no longer offer this service. They were polite and professional when they called me.

our own supplies We contacted the firm and got an immediate call back. The contractor game on time and answered all of our questions and made some good suggestions. We were given the option of buying our own supplies but to save a few dollars we chose to have them do the buying with their discount. The job was completed on time in spite of some last minute changes by us. He followed up with a phone call to see if we had any problems, we did not and thanked him again for a job well done.

My husband had been painting the exterior of our house since last year. Needless to say, it took way too long. Christian came in and saved the day! He scraped, sanded, primed and painted our 100 year old house with painstaking care. My house looks beautiful, thanks to Christian and his crew! They were prompt, professional and took great pride in their work. We will definitely hire Christian again!

Christian and His crew were once again absolutely fantastic. I had hired EC PAINTING in July to paint my interior of my home. I was extremely pleased with their service so I had no doubt in hiring them again. Again their attention to detail was amazing they were extremely professional and efficient. They took about 3 days to finished the entire job. I would recommend EC Painting to my friends and Family. Hands down the best contracting company I've ever hired.

the team of painters was excellent ,efficient, professional and promt
