Please call for faster contact - 631.644.5787. After retiring from my job of thirty years, I decided to do something I enjoy and am passionate about. I earned my reputation as a painter and wallpaper hanger with a critical eye for detail and cleanliness. I have now moved into complete home decorating and interior finishing. Be sure to ask me about my awards! Owner-operated. No subs. Charges $250.00 per hour { Interior Design Rate} as of 02/23/2017. No travel charges.
Mission accomplished. The rooms look 10 times bigger and brighter! Cary primed and painted two coats of paint in an off-white color that made the rooms look brigher and bigger. Made an older house look a lot newer.
Description of Work: 3 dark panelled rooms needed to be painted for selling the house to make the rooms look bigger.

Cary arrived early & got right to work. Within just over an hour, he had removed a wide wallpaper border AND taped off all the wood trim in the room which included french doors, 2 windows, crown molding & picture molding plus the entry doorway. So he started at 7am & by 8:15, he was painting!! The room was 10X15, & he was done, cleaned up and out of the house by 11:15. He works quickly and efficiently. He brought in minimal equipment but was thorough. What would have taken me at least a full day took him only a couple of hours, and the room looks great.

Cary Carollo did a terrific job. He arrived promptly, was professional, unobtrusive, and very tidy as he worked. The pricing was as agreed and was very reasonable. He even came back to do some touch up work. Cary was personable and I enjoyed working with him. We are extremely pleased with the results and would not hesitate to highly recommend him.

This client hired me about 4 years ago and I painted 2 rooms for her which came out really beautiful. Same circumstances where she purchased a Big Deal and set up an appointment. We set a date and I went out to paint her Master Bedroom and Sitting area. She failed to mention that the 2 rooms had 12 foot ceilings and a tray ceiling she wanted painted also. I charged her accordingly (with her husband's approval) and did the job. She turned around and wrote a schating review on how I made her pick out the wrong color for her rooms and ranted about the extra charge. This time when she purchsed a Big deal coupon, I recognized her name and told her I would not do the job for her based on her last review. I feel I did the correct thing.

I had hired Carollo's before to paint my kitchen, dining room, upstairs hallway and loft last year. Cary had done such a wonderful job I knew who I wanted to call when I was ready to move on to other rooms that needed painting. I had painted my half bath a couple of years ago, but did a miserable job, dotting the white ceiling with wall paint, not quite getting down to the baseboard, etc. In the bedroom that needed painting, my teenage daughter had painted an entire wall with chalkboard paint and had done a similar job to mine. When I purchased the 2 rooms for $199 Deal, Cary called me right away and we were able to schedule the job for a time that worked for both of us. Cary showed up promptly the first day to get started. I showed him the two rooms and was so pleased that he commented he would take care of the ceiling spots (though he doesn't usually do ceilings). He also told me I could take back the primer paint that the paint store had talked me into for the chalkboard painted wall. He assured me he wouldn't need it. Saved me some $$! Cary had scheduled 2 days for the two rooms and was almost done the first day so I asked if he could also do another bathroom and the adjoining vanity areas (a Jack and Jill bathroom). He gave me a very reasonable price and was able to finish it all in the two days he had scheduled. It all looks so neat, clean and beautiful now! Cary does such a professional job, always prompt, courteous and careful with my home. I've had so many compliments on the areas that he has painted. Thanks Cary!

My experience with Cary was by far one of the best experiences I have ever had with a painter in my home. He was punctual, professional, and treated my home as if it was his own. The paint job is great. He did everything I asked of him and more! He always left my home cleaner than it was when he arrived. He even mopped my laundry room floor when he moved the dryer out of the way to paint. There is no question that I would call him back for future work. He also provided one of the most reasonable estimates of all the painters that provided bids. I am very pleased with the job that Cary did for me.
Description of Work: Cary painted the ceiling and walls in my two story living room, kitchen, two short hallways and a laundry room.

Cary contacted me via phone the day I ordered the deal to discuss the project and schedule a time for the service. He arrived early on the day we scheduled to paint the room and finished it quickly. It was less than a week from the time I purchased the deal. The paint job was great and I was also very impressed with his detailed communications to let me know the progress of our jobs. We ended up purchasing another deal for him to paint 3 other rooms in the house. It was fast and quality work. Thank you!

Cary did exactly what he was paid to do. I wish I had read the fine print earlier. The "Angie's Deal" did not include any prep work, so I had to spackle areas in the drywall the evening before he arrived. I didn't have any sand paper to smooth the areas after fixing the holes and cracks. I pointed out the areas I had repaired to him before I left for the day. It would have been nice if he had sanded the few spots first, before painting over them. It would not have taken him but a few minutes. From an angle you can see where the texture is rough in those spots. Again, it was my fault for not reading the fine print earlier so I could have prepped those spots better, but it would have been nice if he'd touched them up. He did a very nice job with the painting. He completed the job in just 2 hours. He was right on time and flexible with scheduling. I would recommend him.

If the client had asked me to fix what she started, I would have done so. In Fact I did go over some of her mistakes and did a few repairs in the corners. She told me she removed wallpaper from the room and she would have the room prepped for me when ZI got ther. I do not understand why she complained about that when it was not my mistake.

Carollo Interior Designs completed a paint job at my house. The owner, Cary, was very professional and courteous. He followed through on all communication in a timely manner. He worked quickly and cleaned up after himself. Cary was a person that I could trust to be in my home when I was not there. I live in an older home and the walls have many imperfections. I had hoped that the spackle would cover some of the spots but it didn't cover as well as I would have liked. I'm not sure that this had anything to do with Cary. I will definitely consider using Carollo Interior Designs again in the future. This was a good experience.

He arrived 10 minutes early to scheduled start time. He had me show him any holes we wanted filled then he taped and painted the walls. All his lines around the crown molding and the baseboards were straight. The paint looks even and there are no drips. He cleaned up after himself and the walls look great.

o Carey has done several projects for us. Because of our schedule he was not able to complete trim in all rooms but Carey was flexible and we were able to schedule after the holidays. In the interim I had noticed a area which had been missed on a prior job and told Carey about it. He had me mark it and took care of the issue. I have found Carey to be professional at all times. He is prompt and pays attention to detail. Some reviewers have remarked they felt they could not tell him of issues....I have found Carey open to any concerns I have and always willing to fix them. I strongly endorse and recommend him.
