I'm a huge fan of Angie's list but because of experiences like this one with Nilso I'm an even bigger Thumbtack fan now.We have a medium sized deck and stairwell in Boston that required stripping and staining. Nilso was very responsive and extremely professional. He reviewed stain types, colors and multiple variations for application. He recognized rotting wood under our deck the day he was starting the job and was able to secure same day finished carpentry assistance who repaired our sagging deck (and another deck)within 2 days. The price was on par with other bids but it's more Nilso's dedication to his client and skill/speed with a job that makes him a superior painting selection. We will never ask anyone but Nilso about our future painting/staining projects. We in fact have another house which requires exterior painting and already asked Nilso to put it on his calendar.

This was a fantastic experience, and it was because of the following reasons: a) the estimate for the job was almost 20% lower than that of a highly recommended competitor; b) knowing that we had floor sanders coming in on Monday, Nilso came on the weekend so that he could finish the job before the sanders came -- and finished the job in just the two days; c) the work was exceptionally good, better than any other paint job I've ever commissioned; d) not only did he complete the work that we had outlined and agreed on, when he saw that in one room the beauty of the new paint showed up the ceiling's flaws (which we had decided not to paint), he painted the ceilings at no extra cost -- just to ensure that the overall outcome was excellent; e) he was so (justifiably) proud of his work, that it was such a gas to be in his company as he gleefully showed off what he had done. There are few things more delightful than seeing a craftsman taking great pride in his accomplishments. Remarkable. Just remarkable.

Did an amazing job! The owner is very friendly and works hard to make sure you are completely satisfied every step of the way. They finished the job early and cleaned up after each day. I was delighted to find out that the work comes with a five year warranty as well! I will definitely be booking more projects with them.

The GHI team is incredible! From planning to finish, the team was communicative and transparent about the my project. They painted my kitchen cabinets and performed a restoration paint job throughout my old Boston apartment. The place looks brand new! The team was extremely punctual and performed the job in under the estimated time. They are immaculate--covered all of the walls and floor with paper and had a cleaner come in at the end to be sure they were leaving the place in good condition. I will definitely be using them again and highly recommend them to anyone.

Nilso and his crew did an excellent job refinishing my kitchen cabinets. Amazing! They look like we had new cabinets installed instead of refinishing. They were very neat and finished the work on time. I have never had a contractor as conscientious and professional as Nilso. My husband and I will absolutely hire GHI Fine Painting and Stains again. We would recommend his services extremely highly.
