I almost learned the hard way how difficult it is to find a reliable, HONEST painter in NYC. Prior to me finding Eli on Citysearch, I had another painter in for a quote who seemed dishonest from the moment I met him. He looked at my place and quickly threw out an absurd price to paint without explaining the costs involved. Once we finally agreed on a much lower price, I got the run-around when it came time for him to present his insurance information. That's when I went searching for another painter. I came across Eli's Painting on Citysearch and every review was very positive. After speaking on the phone, Eli came over to look at my 2 bedroom condo. I felt comfortable right from the start as he gave me a VERY reasonable quote and broke down all costs involved. He even saved me money on the paint I chose! I decided to go with him and it was the best decision I made. He provided all insurance paperwork to my building and got started right away. Eli is a true PROFESSIONAL. He takes pride in his work and is a perfectionist. He taped up my entire condo (ceiling and border) and can cut a line better than anyone I have seen! The job took roughly 3 days between him and 1 other worker and it came out immaculate. I actually worked from home during this time period and thoroughly enjoyed our conversations. I would/will HIGHLY recommend Eli to anyone who needs painting done and will be sure to use him again in the future!
Pros: Honest, reliable, detail oriented, affordable
Cons: Absolutely none
