PaintNY

.We hired Ganesh, owner of PaintNY to strip old paint from moldings and doors, skim coat walls then paint the apartment. He showed up very late, one of his workers spent the night in the apartment making noise resulting in complaints from neighbors. His crew had no idea what they were doing and had little guidance un use of chemical strippers. They failed to properly protect floors, faucets, appliances and smeared a sludge of stripper and old paint all over the apartment. They began skim coating walls without first applying bonding agent which will result in failure of the plaster within a few years. The day before the job was supposed to be done, se fired them and sent them away, we lost $5325 paid up front out of $8000 and will have to pay another contractor $13500 to clean up the mess and start over then may have to have the floors refinished as they now have paint and stripper all over them. The only two pieces of furniture that were in the apartment, two barstools have paint and stripper residue on them and will be thrown out. Our apartment is a toxic waste dump now and we can't live in it for another three weeks, and have to pay for storage and temporary housing. Using PaintNY has been an awful experience.

The PaintNY crew was very communicative and responsive to our needs. We needed the work completed in a specific timeline and they were able to accommodate all of our requests. We are very happy with the results of all paint, wallpaper, and wall repair work and would recommend hiring this company for any interior housework. In fact, a relative of ours first recommended PaintNY to us as she was similarly impressed with the results.
