J and Marc and their team exceeded my expectations in every way and I'm pretty meticulous. Everything was done to perfection. In addition, J and Marc were incredibly pleasant to work with. They extensively reviewed with me prior to starting the job what I wanted done to insure no mistakes were made.

Marc and his team have great taste, are very professional, and are as fair as you get in terms of price/quality. I have had so many people, including the selling broker and an interior designer friend, ask me for the company's contact into. I would Definitely recommend them to anyone. I am calling Marc today to see if he can repaint a studio in the West Village.
Description of Work: (I WROTE AND SUBMITTED THIS REVIEW ON 10/11/14 BUT JUST SAW NOW THAT IT HAD BEEN POSTED TO THE WRONG COMPANY-- CITY FLOORS. DONT KNOW HOW THAT HAPPENED.) I feel lucky I chose a great contractor to do my very first renovation job on a 3 bedroom co-op I had just bought it NY. It was in terrible shape after the previous five-member family moved out after 19 years. Initially, I'd called over about 4 different contractors I had found on Angie's list. Marc was not the quickest in getting back to me with the initial quote, but my gut told me he was the best of the four. And, my instinct paid off because I ended up with a brand new- looking apartment. Just changing the floors and painting the walls, doors and cabinets, raised the apartment to another level. People who saw it before and after were stunned. The job was huge and dirty when you consider ripping out all that old wood and replacing some of the sub-floor (I am not an expert on all these terms, but the guys did everything necessary). I chose a beautiful wide planked white oak, and a kind of grayish beige patina, or whatever. In any case, the space looked so much bigger, thanks to a consistent and flattering floor throughout the apartment. Among many suggestions, Mark advised me to eliminate the floor (door?) saddles between the different rooms, and he was right- the result was a much better flow. His team also replaced all the floor molding. And they stripped the old paint and painted the walls and ceiling. They were great about helping me choose just the right shade of white, as there are about a million. Patiently, I studied all the different paint swatches on the wall, as the light changed, and came up with the right shade for each room. I did not want to redo my kitchen cabinets, but I wanted the kitchen to look updated and different. Amazing what some paint can do. they painted over the old-fashioned granny wood color with a light color...nothing else. And the selling broker, who lives in my building, saw the renovation afterward and asked if I had redone my kitchen- that is the effect that some light paint made...thanks to the foreman's advise. Long cabinets in another room, again in that old granny wood color, were painted over in an anthracite gray. WOW! A new apartment! They also helped with other little things here and there, like changing the lighting, etc. And, in the end, my apartment was transformed like I never could have imagined. Nobody could believe what had been accomplished. I was told by many in-the-know that my apartment's value had increased way beyond what I had paid, simply because of the change in perception.

Marc and his team were professional, courteous, prompt and extremely communicative from my initial contact through receipt and payment of the final invoice for this job. And most importantly, the final quality of their work reflected this same high level of professionalism. Anyone considering an interior painting job in the New York City area would be doing him or herself a huge disservice by not contacting Paint Works and at least having them provide an estimate for the job. Initial estimate: Marc came to my apartment armed with an iPad and detailed project costing software which provided a line-item-based estimate on a room by room basis. He spent a thorough 45 minutes costing out the estimate and then another 15 minutes walking me through the line item detail. This approach provided complete transparency as to the component costs of the project and was a solid basis for conversations regarding minor modifications to the project while it was underway. Interior painting: The scope of work consisted of every wall, all trim, all the ceilings and a large built-in bookshelf in my 1,350 sq. ft., two bedroom/two bathroom apartment. One of my primary concerns in advance of having the apartment painted was how my personal belongings would be protected for the few days that I was out of the apartment. Those belongings consist of expensive stereo equipment, ~15 pieces of original artwork, business suits and ~1,000 books. Marc's team spent an entire day and did a fantastic job of prepping the entire apartment prior to any painting. They carefully organized everything in the middle of the living room and covered it all with protective plastic. Following completion of the job, not a single item was scratched, damaged or covered with any dust. The Paint Works team was also careful to paint around art wall hangers as well as address every square inch of the large and complex built-in bookshelf. The end product of their work didn't leave even one area for which I needed to ask that touch-up work be done. Final invoicing: The administrative staff at Paint Works was as professional and responsive as the rest of the team. They provided a final invoice immediately after the job was completed which came in within 10% of their initial cost estimate. Following completion of the job, I was left absolutely satisfied and was happy to pay the final invoice to Paint Works for a job extremely well done.
Description of Work: Marc Ringel and his team at Paint Works New York performed a complete interior painting of my 1,350 sq. ft. apartment including all walls, trim, ceilings and a large built-in bookshelf. They also sanded and repaired damaged plaster and dry wall throughout the apartment prior to painting, leaving a "like-new" result when they were finished.

Superb from start to finish. I gave all my information to the Paint Works office and, as promised, Marc Ringel (the owner) contacted me within 24 hours. A few days later, he gave me an estimate in person. He accommodated the dates I wanted. The workers arrived on time and were introduced to me by Marc Ringel. This job went perfectly. You cannot see where they plastered and repainted the ceilings and walls. The work is utterly flawless.

My husband and I recently purchased our first home and we wanted to repaint every room and refinish 2 floors before we moved in. I worked with Marc and Ryan to get an estimate. They were thorough and answered all my questions. I knew what to expect at every stage of the process and they were quick at replying to every text, email and phone call. They were also able to accommodate my tight schedule and they finished on time. I can not say enough great things! I had a lot of specific instructions and our paint colors were not exactly easy (some dark colors, accent walls, etc). Not only does the paint job look amazing, but all the workers were courteous and did a great job of cleaning up before leaving. Thanks so much guys!!

Marc and his crew were quality professionals from start to finish. The estimate was thorough and follow-up questions and concerns were answered promptly. The work was performed superbly. But Paint Works stood out for an additional reason: Marc is a regular guy who immediately put us nervous first-time homeowners at ease. So much so that we trusted them to paint the home while we were away on vacation. The friend we had checking on the house reported that at the end of each day Marc's crew secured the house exactly as we had requested. Many companies can do competent work in this space; what set Paint Works/Floor Works apart was the truly human element.

Marc called me back and quoted the jobs quickly. Appointments were scheduled and kept . Allotted time quoted for the work was accurate. When I asked questions regarding the job Marc responded quickly. Work was done to my satisfaction. His employees were professional and courteous. They broom swept the job. Marc came to inspect the work when it was completed to ensure it was done to my satisfaction. I would hire Marc again and recommend him highly. He is a professional and most enjoyable to deal with.

Marc and all his workers at Paint Works are professional and hard working. They did a fabulous job and there are never unfortunate surprises (this is the second time I am using them). If I wasn't around when a decision needed to be made, I would get a photo message showing me what they were doing and asking how I would like to proceed. The timing was excellent as their crew needed to come in to remove the wall before my electrician came to make changes where the old wall was. They then returned at the designated time and continued the work. Doorways were well covered to prevent the rest of the apartment from getting too dusty and all furniture that couldn't be removed was covered. They left everything clean and as it was when they arrived. Replacing the oak board where the old wall was proved to be more difficult than expected, but they returned 3 times to sand and stain so that oak floor from the living to the dining room is perfect. The stain matches perfectly, not easy with an old oak floor and new board added, and it is fitted perfectly. I would definitely use them again and recommend to friends.
Description of Work: Paint Works New York removed 2 partial walls to open up my dining room. They removed wallpaper, removed old moldings from 3 doorways, skim coated some walls. They then repaired walls, installed new hardware and painted. The floor under the removed walls needed to be repaired. Paint Works removed the damaged wood under the old wall and put in and stained the new oak.

This was an all-around excellent experience. From my first phone call, Marc was very responsive and available to answer questions or provide information, even as basic as a note to expect the workmen's arrival in X minutes. He sent me a detailed pricing breakdown beforehand, so I knew what his quote was based on. I'd say the cost was in the ballpark of what I was expecting for NYC. Jaime spent nearly three days doing the actual paint job, and he is indeed a perfectionist -- even when it came to complex trim work that continued behind baseboard heaters. He was also reliable, unfailingly polite and respectful of my home, and I didn't find one stray drop of paint after he left! Throughout the job and afterward, Marc checked in to make sure everything was meeting my standards and let me know he'd be happy to address any concerns. Highly recommended!

Excellent all around. The crew was professional, the work was completed on time, the job was very well done, and the estimate was reasonable (for NYC). Also very happy with how the trim around the windows came out, which were very dirty and dingy. Now they look brand new. I had everything painted white at this point because I couldn't figure out any other color, but if I ever do I definitely would hire Paint Works to take care of that for me as well.

Our building makes it a bit hard to schedule outside work and the owner below us with the damaged ceiling is ill so that added to the scheduling difficulty. Marc Ringel and his team were incredibly patient in trying to schedule the work, highly professional, on time, and came in below the estimated budget; they were easy to work with and did an absolutely superb job of fixing the ceiling leak area and restoring the plaster and then painting the area to restore it to better than new . In all of our working with contractors in New York City, Marc and his team at Paint Works were the best we have ever worked with and would enthusiastically recommend them to anyone.
Description of Work: Our neighbor below us had a bubble appear on his bathroom ceiling and that coincided with a leak in our bathroom. We offered to repair it for him and hired Marc and Paint Works to do the job. They did an absolutely extraordinary job!

From estimation to finish, their work was consistently professional - they were responsive, trustworthy, accurate in estimates, thoughtful/respectful of our neighbors and very thorough with any follow up items to finalize the job. Will recommend them to others and certainly hire them in the future.
Description of Work: I recently hired Paint Works to re-paint the interior of my apartment (approx 1,300 sq feet - bathroom, bedroom, kitchen and living area). The job had a number of characteristics, brick wall, beamed ceiling, latex & oil with different finishes and an owner’s (me) attention to detail and obsession to keep floors, hardware and fixtures free of any paint splatter or ‘creep’.

Marc arrived to check out the work we needed done - a paint job for a furnished 750 sq foot one-bedroom in a prewar building. He was polite and went around the place taking notes after I pointed out what we wanted. He asked us what number of staff we would want on the premises. I've never been asked and I had no idea what it meant - or cost. I told him it was up to him since he knew his business better than I. There is more than one color and type of paint we wanted to use depending on what surface it was being applied to - latex (flat and semi-gloss) and oil (semi-gloss) on wood trim, doors, the walls and metal radiators. The bathroom was to be painted and wallpapered. Some walls were damaged with peeling and cracks, both are typical in a prewar building. A week went by and no word from Marc. I emailed him to see what the holdup was with the pricing. He emailed back apologizing saying that things were a bit hectic and he was 'thinking about the job' but that Paint Works would have to take a pass. "There's a little too much furniture in the place and it would be too many shifts. We work in furnished apartments, but the space just isn't wide open enough for us." After reading all of the terrific reviews I was disappointed. So we never got a price and it ended there.

Response from Paint Works New York
It's true, we did pass on this project. The place was heavily furnished and the individual wanted to do work on the painting while they were living in the apartment. The project would have required us working with fairly toxic oli-based paints/primers while they were living in the apartment ... they seemed set on staying despite the fumes and this raised red flags for me. After some thought - yes, I did get back to them a week later - I told them we'd need to pass on the job. I needed to put some thought into whether this was something we felt comfortable bidding on.

There are not enough superlatives to describe how pleased I am with the work that Paint Works New York did on my apartment. Marc Ringel put me at ease by listening to my concerns and taking detailed notes regarding the work that needed to be done. As a result, his estimate both of how long the job would take and how much it would cost was realistic. On the day the job started, Nick (Marc's associate), walked Jaime (the excellent painter and plasterer Marc assigned to the job) through my apartment so that he could point out and explain everything that needed to be done. Marc also checked in during the day to see if I had any questions or concerns. Jaime did great work plastering the walls and windowsills as well as painting the apartment. He arrived promptly every morning, was extremely professional, and took a lot of pride in his work. The entire job took 5 days and now my place looks great. I would definitely hire Paint Works New York again and recommend them highly to anyone thinking about hiring a painter.
