Description of Work: The owner Cliff was very meticulous and took pride in his work. I liked him and knew we would get along which is important to me. He made good suggestions and even did extras like cleaning my light fixture and put in a new light bulb so I would not have to change it soon (it's very high) and hard to get at. He put a strip of wood along the top of my counter above the sink so I did not need to caulk. It looks very nice. He also cut a piece of wood to hold up my window which broke when I closed it as he was leaving. This was something he did not have to do. He cleaned the bathroom vents before putting them back. Overall I am very pleased with his work.

Could not have gone better!
Description of Work: This is not the first time that I've used Classic Painting and Home Improvement. As a result of an air conditioning leak in my attic I found part of my ceiling in the room below on the floor. Cliff, from Classic Painting and Home Improvement, did an exceptional job in replacing the portion of the ceiling that was missing. This was a plaster ceiling and there is absolutely no indication of any split between the original and replacement portions of the ceiling. Additionally Cliff needed to repaint one of the walls and there is absolutely no demarcation of where the repainting took place – colors matched perfectly etc. I previously used Cliff, about two years ago, to paint all of the rooms in my entire house. In addition as part of the job he installed crown molding in all of my rooms. I found Cliff to be extremely professional, extremely neat and everything that he did was with exact precision. I would highly recommend Cliff and as you can see I have recently used him again.

I did not use this company because their estimate was more than four times the next highest estimate($4200.)
Description of Work: The owner set up an appointment and arrived on time. I showed him the work required and he told me that he would e-mail me his estimate. I received it the next day. He is very, very expensive.

Classic Painting & Home Improvements Inc. is a 100% Professional Painting Company. We show up for the estimate and provide a typed estimate and breakdown of what we are proposing in most cases the next day. I believe we included more items than others. We may not be the lowest bid, but as the saying goes, "You get what you pay for".

Very pleased with job. Professional and diligent approach to project. Went beyond the agreed contract to provide extras, such as power washing brick patio, repairing loose gutters and cleaning downspouts. Very efficient cleanup after each work day. Crew working with Cliff very efficient.

Exterior cedar siding was removed and Ipe wood was installed on the wall where our deck meets the house. The Ipe hardwood was treated with penofin oil and the drill holes were plugged to give an attractive finish. We are very pleased with the work. Cliff is professional and friendly and all work was done on time. Cliff has also done other work for us including fully staining and treating our large wood deck and our Ipe deck furniture (table, benches, and glider). He also installed, sanded, and stained several interior wood doors and shelves. Great work. Looks really good. We will definitely ask Cliff to do other work in the future.
Description of Work: Replaced existing cedar siding with Ipe wood siding.

Clifford is excellent! He is kind, courteous and very professional. He was on time for both the estimate and job. He finished in the quoted amount of time. Clifford is detailed oriented and takes pride in what he does. The bedroom came out great! He cleaned everything up and left not a trace of mess behind. We were very pleased.

Job went well overall. The painter had to work around my revolving work schedule and there was never a problem!
Description of Work: I had a plaster wall in my bedroom repaired, primed, and painted. I liked the work and so had my upstairs hall (including 4 doors) and stairwell painted also. The owner completed the work himself.

As always, the job was done perfectly. All of the furniture was moved with the utmost of care and covered completely and upon completion everything was put back in its place. When Classic Painting does a job, there is never a mess left behind. They certainly go the extra mile to make the customer completely satisfied.

The overall experience from start to finish was excellent. I have no complaints and only have kudos for Classic Painting.
Description of Work: Super storm Sandy came into town and brought an 80' oak tree into my family room. There was extensive damage from the tree that has now been repaired. Classic Painting came to the rescue to repair all the holes made by the tree and the damage to all the woodwork. After that portion was done, they painted the room paying excellent attention to intricate faux paintings that had to be painted around. I was especially impressed by the manner in which my possessions were taken care of during the restoration and painting job. Everything was either moved out of the room or covered completely. All window treatments were pulled back and covered or removed. The five entrances to the room were completely covered and four of them were totally sealed off leaving only one accessible. Classic Painting pays attention to all details both in preparation and execution of the job being done. I have used them before and will continue to use them. I seek no other estimates since I trust their work quality and ethics.

After several date changes (from our end, not Cliff's), we were finally able to have Cliff install a door that we'd purchased. He worked in the garage and cleaned up quickly & efficiently when he was done. The door is hung much better than its predecessor! We will definitely be calling Cliff to do more work for us!

We had built-ins created but not installed so that we could have Cliff paint them first so as not to get paint on the walls. He worked efficiently and quickly getting them finished so that we could then hang the wallpaper (his next project with us). Being as we are on my schedule as I have out of state company coming, Cliff has been more than generous with his time & patience while we went through paint colors and a (minor) snafu when the wallpaper I'd ordered turned out to be discontinued AFTER we'd picked the paint colors. Thankfully no paint was purchased as I texted Cliff IMMEDIATELY after I received the email from my vendor. Armed with my new wallpaper choice, we picked out new colors for the built-ins and away we went! Definitely will be using Cliff for our next project. This is our 3rd time utilizing his services and definitely not the last! :-)

Cliff did an excellent job. He cleaned up each day to insure my inquistive (10 & under) children would not be tempted to play in the work areas. When he sanded down the banisters & spindles, he created a 'funnel' so as not to have dust fly everywhere. He was absolutely wonderful to work and we definitely plan to hire him again!
Description of Work: We had 8 closets painted and ended up w/new casings to perk them up and our staircase banisters & spindles re-done.

If you are looking for a person who takes pride in his work, is honest, is reliable and knows what he is doing, Cliff Russo is the man. His work is fabulous and I use him whenever I need work done. He never takes short cuts and does a most professional job. He pays special attention to all details relating to the job he is doing. He is an exceptionally clean worker and treats your home as though it is his. When he leaves at the end of the day he completely cleans up. Special care is taken to protect everything that is where the project he is working on is. I have not had any restoration work done by him in my home, however, I have seen some of his work which is unbelievable! I highly recommend this fine craftsman.
Description of Work: I have used Cliff Russo and Classic Painting and Home Improvements for the past nine years. He has done the following for me: Interior and exterior painting Replacement of cedar siding Deck maintenance Designed and built a large cedar room Interior wood staining Powerwashing outside Carpentry work Interior door installations Installation of ceiling moulding Installation of banisters Wood trim around swim spa General home maintenance tasks
