Green City Painters, LLC

I was turning a room in my apartment into a nursery, so it was important for me to find a company that used no-voc paints both for me (pregnant, and currently super sensitive to any strong smells), and for my future baby. And it's a given that anything that's actually better for the environment is probably going to be more expensive so I was prepared to pay a little more. I reached out to Jihene and she was very quick in responding, and extremely friendly to boot. And, as someone who is conscious of wellness and the environment, she completely understood my concerns for not wanting to be around toxic fumes. Jihene had the job done in 2 days-- she worked by herself, she was very clean and thorough, and she's was generally a joy to be around. She actually gave me her home made soup to eat, which was delicious I might add. I think that detail might give you a sense of what it's like to hire her-- if you want someone who's more traditional and businesslike ( slightly clinical and more formal in transactions), she might not be the best fit for you, but if you're looking for someone who gets the job done (well) and is laid back, friendly, and an interesting person to talk to, Jihene is your woman. I have to mention, there was something really nice about having a woman working in my apartment, which sadly, is unusual. Jihene is also an artist, so if you want to support a female artist/small business owner, Green City Painters is the way to go!

It went great. It's a small operation run by a husband and wife. We were originally going to do all white, but she helped us realize how important color was and helped us pick several colors. She very much wanted to give us exactly what would make us happy. The place now completely feels like ours and we couldn't be happier. Their price was right on par with the quotes I was getting from other painters but the service they provided made it worth it, plus they use all non-fume environmentally friendly paints.

It was great! Jihene and Elton were really professional and did a color consultation beforehand. They were patient, creative and energetic. It was really easy to work with people who were as excited about our new home as we were!

They were great! Detail-oriented and able to offer artistic suggestions on small aspects of the job. Not to mention friendly.

We recently relocated to NYC and our new apartment needed a fresh paint job. We had no contacts and no recommendations for professional painters, so we used Angie's List and Google to find someone. After several phone calls and estimates, we selected Green City Painters. Edwin and Jiji (sp?) were very friendly and helpful when it came to describing the entire process. Being new to the area and not being familiar with the way things work "up north", we were a little hesitant to hand over a large chunk of change as a deposit for the work to be done. After reviewing testimonials for Green City Painters we began to feel more comfortable and decided to go ahead with the work. We are very glad we did. We were out of town while our place was painted, but Edwin kept us up-to-date on the progress via voicemail and text messages. It was a wonderful experience after a 9 hour drive to walk into our new place with a beautiful, professional paint job with no odor or mess to clean up. Any concerns we had previously about the deposit, etc. were immediately erased once we saw the quality of work. I would not hesitate to recommend Green City Painters to anyone looking for an eco-friendly and professional painting company.

Green City Painters came right over when we called for an estimate. Gave us a very fair price for painting our large one-bedroom apartment. The walls were in rough shape, they needed a lot of cracks filled, old water damage repaired and Green City Painters went the extra mile before they even started painting, making our walls smooth and perfect. The paint job was top notch, we've worked with other paint contractors before who couldn't cut in a straight line if their lives depended on it. Not only did Green City Painters crew cut in masterful straight lines between the moulding and the walls, they far exceeded our expectations by leaving the apartment spotless when the job was done. Overall, a rare and excellent service I would highly recommend.
