About
HELLO! I'm in STAMFORD CT. I do not service LONG ISLAND.
Also, my minimum service call is $550.00 for small items and half day projects. Tabletop refinishing starts at $750. Furniture stripping and refinishing can take several days and prices start at $1200.
Please do not inquire if you're not prepared to accept my minimum pricing structure. Each inquiry cost my business a fee. Please be considerate, SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY!!!
That said, the worst mistake a potential customer can make is to not ask a
technical question or to assume something can't be done. In many
instances, the answer can save you considerable money and the advice is
free!
I'm proud to offer a wide range of services to enhance the appearance of
any home or business. For more than thirty-five years I have been
devoted to offering services from color matching damaged painted surfaces (including faux and Venetian plaster)
I use state-of-the-art dust extraction equipment that eliminates sanding dust leaving your home or place of business spotless and dust-free. I also use low V.O.C. coatings and waterborne stains eliminating odors and environmentally harmful substances.
I am capable of correcting paint issues and color matching that a lot of other contractors shy away from. As a matter of fact, many paint contractors call on me to resolve issues they cannot address themselves. That's the level of experience I'm proud to offer.
What I like most about my job is the consistent positive reaction I get at the completion of my projects. Many of my customers have told me they didn't think their finish could be saved or their color could be perfectly matched. I love proving them wrong and walking away knowing I have made them very happy.

We meet with Tim to discuss refurbishing our mother’s dining room table and chairs to match our home decor. Tim came up with creative and beautiful ideas where upon we agreed on a unique design. Once completed we could not be happier to give new life to this 65 year old table and chairs that continue to bring us joy. Thanks Tim!!!

Tim helped me paint my condo recently. He is friendly and easy to communicate with. He pays close attention to detail and keeps track of everything. The painting crew is excellent as well. They worked without AC (mine wasn't functioning) and still completed the job amazingly. They painted every spot that needed it — anywhere that didn't look quite right. Even after the project was done and I messed something up, Tim came back and helped me out! I am sure Tim will be the one to call if I have any painting work to do in the future. I highly recommend him.
Update: it looks way better after furnitures are in. So I added two photos showing before and after the painting was done.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
An average room can be painted for between $500 and $1000 depending on degree of preparation and amount of trim. However, pricing is determined by a multitude of factors: distance travelled, tolls, materials to be used, level of difficulty, amount of surface area, accessibility... My pricing is predicated a lot on previous projects with similar attributes. With many years of experience I have a pretty accurate picture of the degree of involvement and what my labor and overhead costs are. I base my bottom line on those costs including insurance and we negotiate from there.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I do my best when I'm contacted to understand exactly what the customer needs. In some cases a few pictures sent to my e-mail help me understand the scope of work involved. I then offer advice and a site visit to determine the conditions and the expectations of the customer. After a visit, I write a formal price proposal in Quickbooks. When it is accepted I ask for a small deposit, usually around ten or fifteen percent, to secure a spot on my schedule. I often encourage my new customers to contact several names on my referral list to assure them of my integrity and my intention to do the best job possible.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I regularly attend local chapter meetings of both Wallcovering Installers Association and the Painting and Decorating Contractors of America. Both organizations have educational programs. I also go to Pro Shows sponsored by distributors and manufacturers of the products and tools that I use in my discipline. I just signed up for a prep to finish seminar for sprayed finishes at a local paint store.
