Cohen's Painting & Papering LLC

This review is for an estimate request. I regret that I let this little man into my house. Read what his employees say on Yelp. Beware. Some years ago Tim Cohen worked here and did a respectable job, so I called on him again. Much remodeling and paint work has been done here in the interim and we are still buried under disarray and piles of boxes, and frankly I'd forgotten the details of the work Cohen previously performed. Cohen's hostile reaction to my lapse caused me to apologize. I should have seen that power play as a red flag. Unfortunately, his presentation of self has changed drastically over the ensuing years and I would not recommend him in 2024. Self-assurance is admirable, but arrogance is not, and a bit of empathy and human kindness in light of my obviously disruptive, active construction site could have gone a long way to changing this review. When on site I asked him to provide an estimate to paint a bedroom and repair the work of a previous contractor who botched the paint work leaving thick drips and bad edges. In response, I found Cohen defensive that I was critical of the work done by another and especially that I didn't recall the details of the work he did years ago. He made notes and left. Instead of sending the promised estimate, Cohen e-mailed an unrequested copy of the invoice of the work he did here previously, apparently to remind me of what I'd forgotten. Along with his refusal to take the new job, he retaliated with a rude personal attack which used broad, unfounded generalizations and resorted to name-calling. (His email is on file.) Only a bully who thinks he can get away with it, responds to an estimate request with a verbal attack on a customer. Any other contractor would have just tactfully refused.

The staining of our deck is awesome! Tim’s crew were kind, professional, dependable. All were really nice men! The price was fair and we highly recommend them. They will be our go to for all of our painting needs. Thanks so much!

Tim and his crew did a fantastic job! They painted our bedroom and our kitchen cabinets and we are in love! Can’t wait to have them back!

Tim and his crew did an excellent job. They worked while I was not present, cleaned up completely and did everything to my satisfaction. Communication was flawless and businesslike. Very pleased.

Both Casey and Joe were very professional and talented. They arrived on time to paint the kitchen. Casey also did an outstanding job of painting the bathroom. They were very good at cleaning up afterwards. They also did the drywall in the bathroom. They did an excellent job.

The contract was very explicit as to what would and would not be done. One wall needed paint matching, and unless you knew where the hole was, you could not tell they had painted only a portion of the wall. Excellent paint matching! The two men doing the work were very professional and friendly. They answered our many questions without hesitation. We would most definitely use Cohen's Painting & Papering again. -Don & Judi Wachsberger-

Cohen’s Painting and Papering does exceptional work! We have used Them many times and have never been disappointed with the final look. Tim’s crew is always polite and professional. They never cut corners and are always responsive to any additional requests that I have had. Highly recommend Tim Cohen’s company! 100%

Very Well. It took them about a day and a half to paint our deck. The end product looks very nice. Tim and his crew are very professional. I got estimates from 3 companies in the area and the decision was easy with Cohen's because of their demeanor and obvious professional knowledge. The estimate they provided was almost exactly actual cost. A job well done. I definitely recommend Cohen's.

Tim and team did a great job and made this an effortless project.

Tim and his crew did an amazing job on my daughters bedrooms. From arriving on time, to the beautiful paint work , down to the cleanliness!! It was truly top notch service!!

Tim Cohen of Cohen's Painting and Papering always does a wonderful job and everything always goes smoothly. He and his team are a pleasure to have around. They're friendly, efficient and take great care of your house. I highly recommend them .

Tim and his team painted out all of my bathroom cabinetry, as well as installing new mirrors over the vanity and new lighting fixtures in both of my bathrooms. The work was impeccable and I was extremely pleased with the outcome. It completely changed the look and feel of the bathrooms! I would highly recommend Cohen's Painting and Papering to anyone!

Tim and his entire crew were excellent. Started each day taping off areas and laying down tarps. They were working in a large area, living room, dining room, foyer, stairwell and hallway. They cleaned up every night so we could move about normally. They were very professional. End results were better than I had imagined. Highly recommend Tim and his crew. I will definitely hire for next painting project.

Having used Cohen’s Painting for multiple jobs over many decades, the work on our outdoor decks and bridge went flawless. Tim exceeded all of my expectations once again with beautiful results. The customer service for the window of time to start and complete the job of 4 days was exact. I could not praise their team work any higher.

Tim Cohen and his team were a pleasure to have work on our kitchen cabinet painting project. They were professional, courteous, and extremely hard working. They transformed our orangey oak cabinets to a lovely off white. I would recommend them without hesitation

Excellent job and highly recommend hiring Tim Cohen.

This is the third time im has been here to do work - each time the work was executed quickly, cleanup each day was great and the end product pleases me

Outstanding is the perfect word to describe our experience working with Cohen's Painting & Papering. Outstanding because unlike so many tradesmen these days, Tim and his crew were professional, personable and reliable. They genuinely cared about the quality of their work, taking their time to properly prepare the surfaces, using the highest quality products, and making any necessary adjustments until each room was perfect. They were always friendly, polite and considerate whenever we got in the way, understanding that we had to live in their workspace. Finally, and most importantly, they were reliable. They showed up every day at 8 o'clock and were cleaned up and gone by the agreed upon time. I can also say that everything Tim, the owner, told us when he provided the quote actually happened. They were tidy, on schedule, and the quality of the work was excellent. Tim was on the job every day making sure of it. He was a pleasure to work with and as long as he is painting, no one else will paint at our house! A true artist and a class act! Hire him today! Photos of the whitewashed brick (before and after), my black and white staircase, and beautiful, blue dining room are attached!

Great! Tim and his crew were prompt, professional, efficient, courteous, cleaned up each day and did a wonderful job. Easy to work with, and would definitely hire again.

Better than expected. They are perfectionists and I could not have asked for more. I some good water damage, cracked plaster, and peeling paint in places. They were able to fix it all. Both Tim and his worker Scott were very pleasant. I felt very comfortable leaving them both alone in my house.

Excellent work on significant damage

He did a great job, showed up right on time and the work was great .2 coats on the walls and you can tell he used two coats.

Tim Cohen and his colleagues did an excellent job removing the wallpaper, preparing the walls for painting, and painting our living room and foyer. From the meeting to see the work and provide an estimate to the final touches, everything was done beautifully and in a professional manner. Tim and the workers showed up promptly each day, did their work, and left the house spotless at the end of each day. They did an amazing job and the foyer and living room look great. Tim was present each day and they worked continuously until the project was done. I appreciated that they worked on our project only from start to finish and they completed the job in the estimated amount of time. Wallpaper removal isn't cheap, but the estimate was identical with another I received. We chose this business because of their expertise with wallpaper removal, and we are very happy we did. We are already planning our next room to be painted. Highly recommended!

very professional, and was here to work on time, and cleaned up the area very well, would hire him again

Outstanding work, service and communication.
