From my first contact with Judit, she was very professional and had so many ideas of how she would create a nautical/seaside mural in my baby's nursery. I emailed her a few pictures of what I liked, and she created a small-scale board of a mural that I could have never even even begun to imagine (I'm not very creative, but I know what I love when I see it). She never tried to steer me in a different direction based on her preferences -- she truly listened to all my ideas, likes/dislikes, and created something that incorporated everything I wanted in the room. Once she started the project, she worked daily until it was completed. Everyone has been blown away by the finished product. It's absolutely amazing, and my newborn son has the prettiest room in the house. I can't wait to see what she comes up with for the other bedrooms in my house!
Description of Work: Judit created a full-room mural for my baby's nursery, painting every wall and ceiling with great detail.

Judit painted our living room/dining room. First, she went to a furnature store with me to match paint colors to a swatch of fabric that we are having a couch made with. Then, she bought paint and made a variety of samples in varying shades in the linen technique we selected. The following week, she began working, and was in our home every day until the job was done. She spent time patching and sanding imperfections in the walls, and laid down multiple coats of paint to insure perfect coverage. When it came time to apply the linen technique, her daughter came with her to help. The two worked very well together, were quiet, and respectful of me working at home. We really liked the idea of hiring a local family business to do work for us. Judit's 30-40 years of experience shows, as she is truely an artists and master painter.
Description of Work: Judit is wonderful. She is an excellent color consultant, artist, and master painter. Her portfolio shows her many painting skills. Judit has a lovely personality, is very professional, and pays as much attention to the fine deatails as she does the larger ones. She is clean and tidy as she works, and picks up each day before going home. We will use her again and recommend her to our friends.

We were happy with all of the work. Judit is a pleasant woman and is a very nice person. This woman is an artist and she is a craftman.
Description of Work: A&J Decorations came out and painted the interior of our house. We had the painting done in kitchen, hallway, bedrooms, rec room and ceilings. Judit Ilie, an employee, work is incredible. We had a crack around the window of our homeand she came back to repair it because it was settling. She came out twice and did not charge us at all. The paint was a Venisan Plaster which is a type of paint. I never heard of this paint before but it is like imported marble. The paint/plaster has to be rubbed in and looks like it is hard work. She did our hallway with wallpaper and it is outstanding.

Judit Ilie is amazing. Her work is impeccable. Not only are her prices very reasonable, her design background is invaluable in helping select paint colors. She provides elaborate mock ups of the faux finishes to give the customer a clear idea of what the treatment will actually look like. Judit responded immediately for my request for an estimate and was able to begin the job within a few weeks of signing the contract. I am thrilled with the final product and would unequivocally recommend her.
Description of Work: Judit painted the entire interior of my house. She repaired plaster damage from a leak; removed wallpaper; sanded down decades of accumulated paint blotches; advised on color selection; painted all interior walls, woodwork, and ceilings; and applied venetian plaster treatments in bath and master bedroom.
