I got so much more than I bargained for with Shamrock Painting...in the very best way possible! Kevin was so very professional every step of the way. He was extremely accommodating in terms of scheduling and service date. Kevin made sure that I knew well ahead of time, what was needed, what had to be prepared, and what to expect when he got there. There were absolutely no surprises along the way. Kevin was so punctual the two days of the contracted work that I could have set my watch by his arrival! He was efficient, arduous, extremely thorough and as I mentioned before, very, very helpful. I am not at all astute at color selection or matching of decor with colors. Kevin was more than happy to give me his opinion on what colors should go on what walls and what future colors should be chosen (for my living room...and believe me, I will absolutely have Shamrock Painting do that job as well!). Kevin knew that clearing out my bedroom was a troubling task. He took no longer than necessary to get the work done so as not to inconvenience me further. I am so appreciative for his kindness and consideration. When Kevin first showed up, I was only going to paint the bedroom and figured that I would never be able to fill the 16 hours contracted time. He advised me that he would most certainly be able to do the bedroom (with two coats!) in a day and also get the entire hallway and front foyer done. I am so appreciative for his honesty, integrity, and service. I would highly recommend Shamrock Painting to all. In fact, I had asked Kevin to send me further information so I can recommend him to others in my condominium.
Description of Work: Beautiful paint job for entire bedroom (including ceiling) as well as entire front foyer and hallway.

Overall well, it took a while to arrange as he was busy He responded fairly well He was nice and pleasant to interact with He finished the job in one day which was convenient although not the full hours He had insurance and provided paperwork which is very professional There were some spots that paint could have been checked and improved but it was minimal. The Brick is hard to paint as there are many pits. We purchased paint and had to purchase a ladder for him to use. That was a little inconvenient but minor. It took a while to get keys back but that was simple human error. Overall I liked him and would trust and use him again.

He did a decent job. It was a little smudgy but other than that it was a very good job. I don’t have too many complaints. I purchased the big deal to get the good price. It was pretty fair. He just painted the walls and nothing else. He said doing the ceiling and the trim were extra. It was never mentioned in my previous contact with him. I had to provide the paint, cover of the furniture and the ladder. You have to ask the questions but you have to be specific in what you want done. The ceiling and the trim are part of the room so I’m thinking that that is being painted also but that wasn’t the case. That wasn’t included. As far as workmanship, it was professional enough. He did a very good job. Pricing was very reasonable. He responded when I called him. I felt that it was his responsibility to inform me ahead of time of what was included in the job.
Description of Work: I used the big deal of Shamrock Painting & Wallpapering. He painted two adjoining rooms.

I'm not sure what is meant by a little smudgy. I asked the client before I left if she was happy with the job and she said she was. If there was something that was missed or needed correcting the time to say that is before I leave.The Angie's list discount deal explains what is included and what is not included. A room means just the walls are being painted. If the client wants extra then I charge them for whatever is extra.

The company advertised via Angie's List that they serviced Westchester. Unfortunately, when I went to set up the appointment, they said they really did not, but could possibly do so for an additional $50. Would not recommend.

At present I do not service Westchester and it is not advertised in my profile. I don't know how this prospective client arrived at that conclusion. The extra fifty dollars was to cover the travel cost. All the low grades, though few, that I've received on Angie's list are from people like this, who can see that I'm an A contractor, but can't wait to put something negative up because it's all about them and so what if I have to pay extra to get there or I can't do it on their schedule.

There's no criticism about the work here so the B must be because she didn't like having to pay for the extra labor. If the job requires more time than purchased it is charged accordingly.

I was flooded with an excess of clients wanting to have work done before Christmas and under the circumstances I couldn't please everyone the way they want. Some clients I had to put off till after Christmas and they were okay with that. Some people though just can't be empathetic and understand that and have to take things like it's personal.

He was prompt and very professional. He came at 8:30 in the morning and worked until 8:30 at night in order to finish the job, as it is a very large bathroom. He really went out of his way to do a superb job, and I really appreciate his effort and hard work. It turned beautiful! He also cleaned up really well when the job was done. I would definitely use him again.

The job went very well. We originally estimated a 3 day job, but Kevin was able to do the job in only two. I even had to change the scope to include the ceiling during the job and not only was his rate fair, he was still able to finish ahead of schedule. This job was very straightforward, so can't say that every job will be as fast, but my experience was positive. The paint looks good, nod drips or splotches and he left the work space clean.

Two men prepped and painted 12 by 11 size bedroom. Kevin and his friend did a very good job. Prepping the room took longer than expected so the project went overtime and I was asked to pay for extra two hours of work. The finished work looked great and they left the room clean and tidy.

Kevin is reliable and responsible. It took us a while to figure out a date for the job (since it was only a one day job) but he stayed in touch with me as we searched for a day that would be convenient for both of us. Kevin provided me with a list of everything I needed to buy. He showed up on time, and completely the job exactly when he said he would. The room looks great, price was great and he is a pleasure to work with.
Description of Work: We hired Kevin to painted a large bedroom. He noticed that the paint in the bathroom was chipped so he painted that too with no extra charge.

The hallway looks very nice- the work is crisp, neat and smooth. The reason for the B instead of A for Overall and Professionalism: we realized after Kevin left that edge of the doors where they meet the frames had not been painted, so that when the door is open there is a jarring contrast between the outside and edge. We should have caught this ourselves, but it makes an otherwise very good paint job look shoddy when you open your front door. Maybe the edge of the front door does not count in painter estimates but one would think he would have wanted the job to look right. Also, he works very slowly. He is meticulous, which is good, but everything took much longer than he or we expected, and although he had previewed the job to make sure he could do it within the five days of the contract, he was a little cranky when it ended up taking a bit longer. Kevin kept us regularly informed as to when he would be coming in. He stored his tools neatly and cleaned up each night. He worked quietly. And he was very responsive when our coop board required a notarized letter along with his insurance certificate.
Description of Work: We needed to paint a shared hallway in a NYC prewar coop building and we needed to do it on a budget. Kevin gave us an affordable price and the quality of his work was very good. He did some minor plasterwork on the walls and doors, which came out nicely.

Response from Shamrock Painting & Wallpapering
The edge of a door can be painted either the outside color or the inside color. From what I saw the edges of the doors were painted the inside color so I left it that way. If these clients wanted them painted with the outside color why didn't they say so when I was there. There was no time deadline for this job in the sense that it had to be done because something else was to start and I had to be finished. I put extra time into the job sanding and filling in nicks in the doors because one of the clients mentioned it, but it was not part of my contract All I had to do was paint them. But I figured if I put the extra time doing that it will help me get the A rating. And the removing of the paint from the base board needed a second coat of the remover which added time. I thought they might like to leave the tile baseboard as is without paining because it looked good to me so I spent some extra time making sure all the paint was off. And what do I get for the extra dedication - "he's slow". All of my paint jobs that I've actually done up till now have been A. What have I learned from this - any extra work I do beyond the contract will be charged for, and I'll make it clear what that extra work is. There won't be any favors because as I've learned also on other jobs, it's not always appreciated.

The wallpaper was difficult to remove but Kevin and his crew were able to do so successfully, and plaster over areas that needed repair. The walls were then painted and look beautiful. I found that I needed to add molding and Kevin was able to connect me with an excellent carpenter who completed the job in a timely and professional manner.
Description of Work: Removed wallpaper in hallway foyer, patched up gauges, and painted. Kevin also put me in contact with an excellent carpenter.
