This work could not have been better. Over the years, I have overseen the fixing up of houses but have never encountered the perfection of work like this. Besides the excellence of the work, Arek leads a crew in which: each member is doing the work at which he is best; you could see the pride each took in his work; there was minimal disruption of my day; the workers are all helpful, respectful, hardworking, and quiet; every night all the work materials were cleaned up and stored away. And something else I have never before encountered; THE WORK ON THE LAST DAY WAS AS CAREFUL AND GOOD AS THE WORK ON THE FIRST DAY. I did not have to withhold payment until all the nagging little details were finished. Arek is satisfied only when the customer is completely happy. I saw that principle at work every day. I am so grateful to Page Lumber for recommending George Apap.
Description of Work: George Apap completely prepared my house for painting by hiring carpenters and recommending others for gutters etc. His workers led by Arek then painted the house beautifully and perfectly.

My experience with George APAP was exceptional. I have a 100+ year old clapboard home that was in terrible shape with peeling paint and the need for repairs. The project went very smoothly and I am delighted with the results. Every stage of the project was handled with skill and professionalism. Arek, Sean and the rest of the crew were extremely reliable and responsive to any concern I had. It was a comfort to feel confident that my house was "in good hands." Although this was a very large project that could have been stressful, the professionalism and responsiveness of the team made it a very positive experience for me. The crew showed up every day as scheduled and worked diligently throughout. The project finished ahead of time. I am delighted with how my house looks and can confidently recommend George APAP painting to anyone!

In summary, the George Apap team did what they said they would do, within budget and ahead of schedule!!! All team members were a pleasure to deal with and demonstrated a great professionalism. From my experience George Apap listens to your needs, provides useful suggestions and really cares about providing a high quality work. This is not the norm. After dealing with one contractor who took three months to perform a job he said would take 3 days and who delivered a very poor paint job, I engaged another one who made matters worse. Working with George Apap made a significant difference. I wish I knew them before, I would have saved a lot of money and a lot of aggravation. I highly recommend this company.

My experience with George Apap Painting from the beginning was wonderful. The crew members were on time, courteous and polite. They were eager to meet my demands. My timeframe was tight, and they met my expectations of services. The painters were diligent in their efforts to be thorough. They worked long days, late nights and even weekends. They continued to come back for an inspection to make sure everything was perfect. Meeting with the professional to go over colors was fun and exciting. I just couldn't wait to get the new colors for my home. They had many swatches to look through, which was confusing at times, however the painters were there the whole time to guide me along the way. I would use them in the future as well as recommending them to others.

From start to finish George Apap Painting provided exceptional service, reliability, and professionalism. We contracted to have all walls, ceilings, and trim repaired and painted for this project. This sounds simple enough, however the repairs became quite substantial. To put it mildly, we had more nail-pop and drywall repairs than most people could imagine. The painting crew took these repairs in stride. Not once was there a complaint or problem. After the crew left for the day, my wife and I inspected the crew's work, made a list of repairs/touch-ups that needed to be completed, and went through this list the following morning with Corey, the crew leader. Corey then ensured these repairs/touch-ups were done to high standard of expectation. He also thoroughly disseminated our concerns to his crew, which were always professional. I want to personally thank Corey, Mike, Wojtek, and Nick for their attention to detail and their unwavering work discipline. These guys know what they are doing and worked tirelessly to ensure we were happy with the end-product. Lastly, Arek, the project manager, completely understood our expectations and standards. He worked seamlessly with Corey and his crew in order to get the job done right. Although this job may have taken longer than expected, Arek, Corey, and the crew had a complete understanding of customer service and dedication. I would highly recommend George Apap Painting to anyone. Thanks again guys !!!
Description of Work: Repaired and painted master bedroom suite, guest bathroom, upstairs and downstairs hallways, powder room, family room, kitchen/pantry, sun room, entertainment room, and guest bedroom suite

I had an excellent experience with this company. They had promised the job would be done before Thanksgiving and it was. Arek was the crew leader for my job. Arek and his crew were courteous and professional the entire time. They arrived everyday on time and started working right away. They had asked if they could use my garage to store their equipment during the job. They were very neat and cleaned up at the end of each day. Arek would let me know what room or area they would work on next. I felt comfortable leaving them in my home alone when I had to run out. Arek went out of his way to make sure the job was done right. In 2 instances he suggested ways to make improvements and went above and beyond what was expected of him. Friends of mine have asked who I used for the job, I told them George Apap and that I highly recommend them.

I gave them an initial down payment check for $2000 and they put the check through for $3000 without asking me or informing me. I had to go through my bank to check and fix everything and it still took them almost 3 months to refund my money for the down payment. The owner was insulting and didnt even apologize about the whole situation. He acted like he did not care as soon as the money was in his hand. I would definitely not hire them again.

Dear (Removed Member Name). I am so sorry that you are unhappy. We did indeed initially deposit your check incorrectly for $3000. We picked up the problem and called you to notify you about it before you had even noticed. Our bank refunded the $1000 directly to you immediately - there was no 3 month delay. Furthermore there was actually an underpayment of $1000 on your account till end of August. The work was performed in February and you finally paid the remaining $1,000 when we came to your home in August. I would be happy to provide the cancelled check and banking confirmations if you would like as we confirmed all of these details with our bank this morning. We would appreciate if you could check your records and amend the review accordingly. Please know that we strive to have all our customers be happy customers, and don't want you unhappy about something that did not happen. Thank you

We were impressed by the professional experience we had with George Apap Painting from the initial estimate to walk thru inspection at the completion of the job. Each step was scheduled well in advance and any changes necessary, always communicated efficiently. we met with the foreman before the start of the job to review the scope of the project and any concerns we had. Each day, the crew arrived promptly to begin work. The crew was always careful about our personal space which made for minimal disruption to our routine. Most importantly, the quality of work was excellent. Everything was carefully covered or masked before painting and all the siding was properly painted. The end result was an excellent job. We were completely satisfied with the work and advice from George Apap Painting. The experience was seamless from start to finish even after the job was complete and paid for. Most importantly, we felt the the craftsman working on our project were genuinely concerned with the quality of the project. The results showed.

The outside of our house was long overdue for painting and staining. In years past we did the work ourselves but now we needed someone to do the work. A friend recommended Apap Painting; she was extremely pleased with their work. A very pleasant young woman,Nicole took my information,answered my questions and scheduled an appointment with the estimator Gary. He was here on a Saturday and we had the estimate by Monday. Matching the old colors was a challenge but it was resolved to our satisfaction and pleasure. Due to rain, the project started a day later but I was called and given updates about start time and crew. The crew consisted of four men,,Arek,the foreman, Voytek, Shawn and Nick. Arek kept us informed every step of the way. He made suggestions that improved the project and was always willing to listen and solve problems. The guys were here at 7am and worked atleast until 5pm. They even worked a half day on Saturday to stay on schedule. They worked the entire day breaking only for lunch or for soda or water. Their work was professional, covering windows, doors, decks... removing or moving things and putting them back after painting. The guys worked so smoothly together we hardly knew they were here. When I did talk with them they were always friendly and courteous. The carpenter is scheduled to do a small job finishing a soffit and I'm sure we will be just as satisfied We highly recommend Apap Painting to anyone who wants a job well done.
Description of Work: Power washed main houses and two outbuildings then prepped,stained and painted everything. Made suggestions to improve the project..painting shutters and an overlooked door. They even painted three little storm and screen windows.

They showed up on time every day and finished when they said they would. They taped and covered furniture, cupboards and floors every day. They also cleaned up their work areas every day . We did allow them to use one room to stage and store drop cloths and paint cans. We knew exactly what we wanted done, including paint colors, and they presented a detailed estimate of the work and the price per room. They executed the plan and we are completely satisfied with their performance. We will be using the Apap team for future work.

This was a first-rate experience from beginning to end. the owners' commitment to excellence and customer service is obvious. On the walk-through prior to submitting their estimate, George made observations and asked questions that never even occurred to the other vendors. The job foreman, Arak, was terrific. His guys were incredibly neat and the workmanship was consistently first-rate. I'd recommend them without reservation.

My entire experience with George Apap Painting was excellent, from the point of scheduling my estimate online to speaking with the office staff and then working with the painters. A true group of professionals! Steve spent time reviewing my needs in each room and making recommendations so I would have the results I envisioned. His estimate was detailed so I knew exactly what would be done. Nicole in the office made scheduling easy for me, accommodating the start time of the paint crew with my work schedule. Arek and his crew were awesome! Arek was prompt, friendly and took extreme pride in his work. I had just replaced all of my flooring and carpeting in my house three weeks prior to this project. Arek made sure his crew covered everything so my floors would be protected. Arek met with me every morning to review the prior day's work. It was clear that my satisfaction with their work was important to the entire crew. I really appreciated the communication and attentiveness this company provided. I plan to use them for future projects and would recommend them without hesitation!

Two years later and it still looks like new. The George Apap organization is professional. They work hard to ensure each job is well executed and each customer is happy with the experience.
Description of Work: Not the first time we've used George Apap. They make it so easy. Took months to redo upstairs bathroom, with different contractors coming in and weeks of waiting for the next contractor to be free to do his bit. Then they were done and it was time to get the painting done. We now only consider George Apap for painting. Estimate was done quickly, paint colors chosen. Just one day for them to paint new bathroom (including wainscoting), master bedroom (3 colors), hallway (2 colors on paneled walls) and stairwell. They come with a large enough team to get the job done, are prepared for what they have to do, protect furniture and clean up afterwards. Have also use their sister company, HPM Carpentry for re-doing garage door trim using composite material.

Can't go wrong with these guys, Very professional, 3 generations in the family and the pride shows. They leave nothing to chance from upfront contracts and SOW's to clearly indicating color's finishes etc these guys are pro's. Had my son's room painted in Yankee pinstripes found a last minute dtail of the proportion and exact paint and finishes they only charged me the change in a new can of Paint. They cam out fantastic as everything did including coming back to resand a step and restaining on one that wasnt perfect. Scott and Steve made the experience a very good one and would recommend these folks to anyone doing any type on remodeling and need of top notch painters. Great job guys.

HPM, Apap's carpentry division, meticulously repaired the rotted, damaged and missing woodwork. They also installed the roofing.The painting crew did a BEAUTIFUL job painting the exterior. Assistance was available to help us select the perfect, appropriate historic colors for our home. And I just have to stress how carefully the crew worked around our property. The took such care to protect and not damage the mature plantings around the house. They didn't squash even one little bush and the site was neat and tidy through the entire process. They finished on time and the process went smoothly from start to finish.
Description of Work: We have an historic home that desperately needed repairs, roofing and exterior painting. Old porch roof was removed and new rubber roofing was installed. The roof was modified to prevent future leaks. Rotted, damaged and missing trim and moulding was replaced. (Repairs included resetting and filling hundreds of original nail heads into the siding) The house was powerwashed and painted, including storm windows and gutters.

I made a terribly upsetting mistake. I wanted the work done in September; and when I saw that the start date was the 17th, I thought that was September. I discovered that I was wrong when I called to confirm the appointment. It is in October. Nicole was so patient with my upset reaction, and over the next day, due to another client's need to move their start date to October. she was able to reschedule me. I am thrilled with the care and attention I am getting - and will report more as the job proceeds.

We reached out to George Apap Painting to fix a botched interior job from another painter. The customer service at George Apap to set up the initial appointment was wonderful and the sales manager who came to our home this morning was fantastic -- on time, courteous, knowledgeable, and very responsive to our requests. We're looking forward to hearing from them on the particulars (scheduling, etc.), and we have every confidence the job will be great.

Arek Radziszewski and his assistant David were great! As was the salesman who visited. I had considerable trouble with the office staff in that the right hand didn't seem to know what the left hand was doing. This led to more phone conversations and email than I thought was necessary and insecurity about the firm. But the actual guys who did the job were stellar.
