Introduction

I am at the worksite every day and you can call/text me anytime. I'm always available and I stand behind my work. Showing the customer what I'm capable of. Turning something that is in horrible condition into something great.

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

Your average 12x10 bedroom in a modern house will cost between $550-$650 excluding material.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

Listen to the customer and deliver. Make sure in the end the job is exactly what they envisioned.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

I'm EPA Certified

How did you get started doing this type of work?

My father owned his own painting company in Westchester County, N.Y. and every summer my brother and I worked for the family business. I really enjoyed it and pursued it as a career.

What types of customers have you worked with?

I have worked with residential customers as well as developers and management companies.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

We restored a house in Hastings On Hudson that was over 100 years old. The house was in really rough shape. We power sanded the many layers of paint down the the wood. In the end (2 months later) the house was restored to original condition for the most part..very proud of that project.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Don't always go for the cheapest estimate out there. Go with the contractor who you felt most comfortable with. What is your time frame.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

What time frame do they have, what colors they want & what finish (flat, semi-gloss, eggshell)
