Steve was great to work with. I needed a full apartment turnover on a tight timeline between tenants, and he made the whole process easy. He handled patching and repainting throughout the unit, and the place looks fresh and move-in ready. Communication was smooth, he was reliable, and pricing was very reasonable. Appreciate the quality work and would absolutely use him again. read more

I recently hired Steve for wallpaper installation in my mother in law's apartment, and I couldn't be happier with the results. He was professional, punctual, and incredibly skilled.

A few years ago when we were looking for a painter for our Upper westside 3 bedroom, a friend/ neighbor  who had just had Steve paint their apartment recommended him to us. We had him paint our place and were very pleased with his work. So, when it was time to paint our office, we called Steve G. again. Like the 1st time, he's easy; returns calls, did it in our time frame, good price, on time... a professional. We recommend him highly!!! read more

Hire someone else. I've never left a yelp review before, but felt like I should because of this experience. I hired Steve because he gave me the most reasonable quote but you get what you pay for. I asked Steve if he would do two coats of paint and he said this type of paint didn't need that. I figured I would trust him and see what it would look like at the end. If you're OK with a sloppy job and not looking at the details, then hire him. Otherwise, if you want the job to be done perfectly the first time I would go with someone else. At the end, he said let me know what you think. I walked around my apartment and he followed me over my shoulder, watching everything I was looking at. The few things I noticed quickly I pointed out to him and he rolled his eyes and he said, "really? That's not a big deal." There was a large mark on my closet door that I pointed out to him and he said "I didn't do that that must've been you" but he wouldn't fix it because he said I messed that up. I really didn't know what to do at that point. He was following my every movement so I felt pressure to just say it was fine because I didn't like how he handled my feedback. After he left, I inspected the place more thoroughly and found more issues. For example, I saw some of the lighter color coming through when he painted a darker color for me. Or he painted hairs in the fresh paint. I decided to try to fix the mark on the closet door on my own because he wouldn't. Later when he texted checking in, I sent him a picture of the door and said I've been trying to fix this but not sure how. He then called me and berated me saying, "I can't believe you messed up my work especially when it was wet paint. You shouldn't have done that." He was rude and aggressive to me on the phone so I said "please stop lecturing me" and he said he would think about what to do with the door. When he texted a few days later saying he could come over to see what he could do about the door I said, "is it possible you could add a second coat of paint on some walls and fix some other places because I've found some issues?" He then insisted on a phone call where he was extremely mad and said "in my 30 years of painting, I've never had so many complaints from someone. I have no idea what you're talking about. You said it was fine when I was over there on my last day." When I pointed out that I didn't feel comfortable giving him feedback because of how he followed me and how he responded to my critique, he said, "well that was the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard." He started yelling at me and saying how dare I mess up his "work" even though it's my apartment and he was the one who didn't paint it properly. I ended the phone call because I felt uncomfortable. He offered to come over and check it out the next day however, I really didn't feel comfortable given how negatively he responded to my feedback. I told him not to come over and now I have to hire someone else to fix his work. I don't want someone providing a service in my home to make me feel uncomfortable, so I'd rather that he would've offered money back and apologized. I've never dealt with someone who was so disrespectful and rude. You can see the picture speak for themselves. read more

Steve G painted my boss' 3 bedroom apartment on the UWS a few years ago. We just had a small project and, as usual, he handled it in our time frame. He was quick to respond, quick to iron out last minute details, and quick to squeeze us in last minute to accommodate our needs! He's a true professional. Thank you, Steve! read more

I want to thank Janovic for recommending Steve as a wallpaper specialist. Steve installed wallpaper for me, and I couldn't be happier with the results. His responsiveness and professionalism truly stood out. He's extremely neat, personable, and knowledgeable , a home run in every way. I highly recommend Steve! read more

I've hired Steve twice now, and I'm planning on a third! At first I felt a little silly hiring for such a small thing (just painting the arches in my pre-war apartment), but I'm so glad I did. I'm busy and anxious. I don't want to learn what brushes or rollers to buy, get all worried over messing things up, put it off for forever because I'm scared, yadda yadda. Hiring Steve made me realize that it is SO worth the money to spare yourself the hassle. Ask for help! Just hire a professional, even if the job is little! Make your apartment beautiful! Why do something hard for you that's easy for someone else? Pay the money, get it done, enjoy your life!!! Steve was super responsive, easy to coordinate with, and out of there quick. Can't wait to hire him again! read more

Omg I can't say enough about Steve Not only was he quick to respond- he was able to do the job the same day as he had a delay in his next job. He is not only skilled wallpaper installer- he is a very skilled artist. I am going to be working with him to design a custom mural for my living room!! Again can't say enough positives!!! read more

Steve G - prepped and hung wallpaper in my living room. I want to preface this review by saying: I don't give 5 STAR Reviews haphazardly. A person has to earn it. There are 6 factors I require of a sub-contractor. First, is communication. Second, is timeliness - showing up on time. Third is, Showing Proficiency, Doing Excellent Work. Forth is: Being Expeditious. Fifth is being clean. Sixth is: Exceptionalism. I give Steve 5 out of 5 Stars in total (which is 5 Stars for each factor). Working with Steve was straightforward and trouble free. We texted AND Spoke on the phone settling on a fair price, an arrival time and estimated job completion time. Steve showed up on time, his work was Perfect; he was the most efficient and clean sub-contractor I have ever worked with. (I was a Construction Manager in my working life, and I have worked with over a hundred different subs over 30 years). Most important: Steve was exceptional. The wallpaper I chose was a very dark grey. Steve advised and painted the wall in a dark grey so that no seams would show. I stated the work was perfect because All the Patterns aligned perfectly and no seams showed. Finally, Steve has personality, the creativity, skill and flair of an artist. In regards to price, I paid Fair Market Price for the work and Steve more than proved his value. Again - I don't give this review lightly and can back up every word I have written. I will give my phone number and can confirm in person if one finds it helpful. Thomas Curis 917-259-9521. Bottom line: I would highly recommend Steve, you will not find anyone better. read more

Steve did an awesome job from planning to execution. He is super responsive and a straight shooter. He walked us through the process and got the job done quickly, efficiently and the wallpaper came out great. He painted & primed the walls before applying the wallpaper.

Excellent experience with Steve G.! I found Steve while searching on Yelp for a painter for my apartment. To make a long story short, I moved into a place that had not had any upkeep for a very, VERY, long time (I think at least 20 years - maybe even longer). From the very beginning, Steve was very responsive. He responded to my e-mail within I think 18 hours of me sending it and was quite helpful on the phone. He gave me some overall guidance regarding what all had to be done with the work, along with different options of what needed to be done. A couple other points: 1. HE ACTUALLY COMES ON TIME. I know that sounds trivial. But you would be surprised as to how many contractors do not. Over the past couple months, there has been more than once situation in which I had to move around work meetings to accommodate a contractor... who then showed up 2 hours late. Very annoying. Needless to say, I never had that issue with Steve. 2. His pricing is competitive. 3. He works quickly and efficiently. He was done with the painting much faster than I had anticipated. 4. The final work product is quite nice. After he finished painting it, the apartment looked great and almost brand new. 5. He worked around my schedule. There were a couple things I had to do involving plaster, wallpaper removal, and a plumbing job that was completely unexpected (the plumbers had to remove a piece of the bathroom wall to install shutoff valves - this was not something I was anticipating and drastically expanded the scope of the renovation/repair work I was planning). Steve worked around the unexpected changes to the project schedule. Overall, would I hire him again? Absolutely. Excellent painter. read more

I am so thrilled we found Steve! He put up wallpaper for us on an accent wall in our nursery and it was an incredible, effortless experience from beginning to end. Easy to communicate with, fair price, arrived on time (in fact, early), and completed the job SO speedily I was amazed. He primed the wall and installed the wallpaper in just over 2 hours. Another contractor had quoted me 4-5 hours for the same job, without priming. The installation was absolutely perfect--no seams can be seen at all, it's entirely flawless. He left the space clean and tidy, and was a pleasure to chat with on top of it all. A true professional! read more

Steve is absolutely amazing. I called him over the weekend to get a quote for wallpapering an accent wall in our living room, and he walked me through all the information he needed for the quote. He was incredibly responsive and was able to fit us in for Tuesday - much quicker than I expected. I've never been a DIY person, so I really didn't know anything about wallpapering. Steve was able to explain for clearly and succinctly what we needed for the job and provided all the tools and materials needed. On the day of the installation, Steve was prompt and friendly. A true professional. The final product looks STUNNING! You can't see the seems at all. He even moved all of furniture back for us - very much above and beyond. I can't say enough great things. I will absolutely be recommending Steve to all my friends from here on out. read more

Working with Steve was a fantastic experience. From the beginning, he was highly responsive and was available by email, text, and phone.

What can I say that others haven't?! Steve is multi-talented, is easy to have around and he has great energy.

He is beyond awesome and I would thoroughly recommend him. read more

If you are looking to hire Steve to paint your apartment, you are in good hands! Steve went the extra mile to help me with a super fast rental unit turnaround for a new tenant. Steve came in swiftly, and beautifully painted the apartment to look fresh and new. He was able to accommodate a last minute request, was flexible, and also responded thoroughly in regards to which paint I should purchase to have everything ready to go. He went above and beyond to help make the entire apartment look incredible, and I'm super grateful. Knowing that he did the wallpaper in the entry of the building (which is so perfectly done and has lasted for YEARS in a high traffic area), it was great to have him paint between tenants. His communication is impeccable, as is his attention to detail. Thanks, Steve! See you for the next turnaround! read more

Steve was great to work with for our new apartment.

I waited to post my review to see the longevity of the results and it is not good. He was $1k cheaper than others, so perhaps I got what I paid for. Steve is a super nice guy. Unfortunately while he is fast he is also a little sloppy. You can see in the photos his cuts are bad and after some months my wallpaper started to peel back. I was so embarrassed when some friends came over and noticed. read more

Highly recommend: easy process and good experience I needed one 9' x 8' wall papered quickly. Steve G gave a quote on Yelp within a few hours and we talked and texted too. He was fast and flexible enough to work my project into his workflow the next day. End result turned out great, so he did a fine job. Also fast, neat, prompt, professional, friendly, competitive pricing (middle bid of five). Strong and consistent communication (see above).

Our 3 bedroom apartment needed a refresh after living here for 6 years. I reached out to Steve for a quote and he quickly got back to me and we setup a time for him to stop by and provide an estimate. We've never hired painters before and Steve did a wonderful job of walking us through the process, recommending paint brands, finishes, etc. We opted to hire Steve because of his professionalism, expertise, and reasonable rate. He was able to begin working on our place very quickly and we are thrilled with the final results and how quickly he was able to finish the entire project. We opted to relocate during the painting process to avoid fumes and ensure safety during COVID and Steve did an excellent job of sending status updates/pictures throughout the process, which we greatly appreciated. Overall Steve is a true professional; fun to work with, filled with expertise which we relied heavily upon, and very easy to connect/communicate with. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a painter. read more

Steve is a phenomenal problem solver and expert in design. I say this because I not only needed to paint my apartment, but definitely needed a thought partner in the process and Steve supported me to make decisions and offered suggestions throughout the whole process! I had a very small window to paint a space that had not been painted for over a decade. The space appeared dark and lacking character, which I expressed to Steve on our initial phone discussion. He arrived promptly to take a look at the space, he gave me a quote that was extremely fair, and also helped me brainstorm around the color for my apartment and my needs. Steve was consistent in providing updates, sharing what I needed to improve the space (some stuff came up as all things do when repairing really old walls) and I felt like I had someone on my side throughout the project. Now, all I can say is that I feel at home in my apartment. I'm AMAZED by the transformation of my home. And I don't think I would have been able to do it without Steve. The most incredible part is that whenever folks see my space or look at photos I share - they say - "WOW... is that a GOLD wall - that's incredible!" I can't take credit for how beautiful it makes the space, because that's was definitely Steve's first suggestion to brighten the space and give it the character I was desperately searching to add!! If you are on the fence about revamping your space because you are worried about moving furniture, dealing with the conceptualization of it, etc... Do yourself a huge favor and reach out to Steve. He will make the process, the ideation, and realization of transforming your space EASY and FUN! NOTE: The before and after photo is taken of two different rooms, but the entire apartment looked exactly like the before photo. (Location: Alphabet City) read more

Steve did a terrific job wallpapering and painting two spaces in my apartment. What I most appreciated was that he was very forthcoming when assessing the job. He mentioned that it may be difficult to wallpaper over an electrical box and also explained the various options if I wanted to go a different route.

I will definitely recommend Steve to any friends/family who are looking for painting or wallpapering! read more
