The Empire Company

Excellent quality work and they were very responsive and professional.

High recommendations for all aspects of job (complete priming, scraping, wood replacement, painting, repair of exterior of house). The house had not been painted in a long time and it showed it. Bruno, the owner and sometimes crew member, gave a knowledgable assessment of what needed to be done in a walk-around inspection. He wrote out what he would do in a clear contract/proposal and stuck to the contract even though a lot of surprises showed up during the preparation process. The job was complicated by bad weather and rain but it never hindered the process or progress of the job. We also had not made a decision about the final color until the painting began. We never felt pressured to make a decision even when we had changed our minds from our first proposal - multiple colors rather than one. The crew was hard-working, friendly, professional, efficient. They didn't make us feel in the way or uncomfortable doing our activities while they were hard at work. Tireless workers. The price was fair and competitive. When asked, we have told our friends the price and they always said that they thought it would have been more. Excellent materials were used for the project. We have had the house painted before and the Empire Company performed many steps, especially in prep work, that had never been done to or considered for our house before. HIGH recommendation. No reservations.

The Empire team was efficient and detailed. Very happy with the results.

extremely well and quickly - and, thoroughly.

They did an amazing job! They were put on the spot to do extra work and they accepted the challenge with flawless results! We would highly recommend this company! I hope to utilize them again! Absolutely outstanding!

— Absolutely Incredible! My name is Lucretia Cameron, and my daughter Jahnyce recently bought her first home. It had great bones and had only had one elderly owner since it was built — never mortgaged, well-kept, but completely outdated. We were excited to make it ours, but after dealing with multiple contractors who took advantage of us, we were devastated. Then we found Bruno and the Empire team, and everything changed. From the moment Bruno arrived — exactly when he said he would — we felt like we had known him forever. I have mobility issues, so my daughter met him at the door, and right away, we knew we were in good hands. I called on a weekend, and by Monday morning, he was at our home. **Tuesday morning, he started the job.** He promised the job would take 8 days — and it did. No delays, no excuses. The contract covered walls, trim, ceilings, wallpaper removal, flood damage repairs — and not only did he deliver, but he went above and beyond. Bruno painted doors, added doorstops, cleaned and polished our refinished floors, painted baseboard heating, and did a ton of extra detail work — all without charging a penny more.** His price was **50% less** than every estimate we received, and unlike other contractors, he didn’t ask for any money upfront. ( did I mention that his price also covered Benjamin Moore's paint! The quality of the work? Spectacular!!!. WOW...his team..His team — men and women!!! — were ALL equally respectful, skilled, and kind. The care they put into their work honestly brought me to tears more than once. This is my daughter’s first home, but my fourth — I’ve done complete renovations before, hired many contractors, added basements, pools, in-law apartments. But I’ve never met anyone like Bruno. We’re now getting our estimate next for the kitchen, and the basement. Then by the end of the year the exterior. We don’t have a big budget — just heart and determination — and Bruno has treated our home like his own. The photos on Empire’s website, as beautiful as they are, don’t even come close to showing how beautiful the work truly is. Thank you, Bruno, from the bottom of our hearts. We will recommend you to everyone we know. You’re not just a contractor — you’re a blessing. ❤️ - Lucretia, Jahnyce & Damien!

Beautiful, impeccable work! Customer service was outstanding and work crews skilled, knowledgeable and flexible. Communication was so speedy and clear and Bruno and his company were accommodating, friendly and respectful of our family and property. And again, the quality of the work is outstanding, we are so happy with how everything looks. Extremely reasonably priced too. Would definitely recommend Bruno and his team at the Empire Company to others.

Responded to several communications about performing a job, including providing an estimate and timeframe, but then ghosted me.

Bruno and his team of painters and carpenters did a thorough, meticulous, beautiful job of painting the exterior of our paint-challenged house. This team also resolves carpentry problems they discover while they are painting. Bruno acted as a general contractor as well, bringing in competent teams to replace gutters, deal with a failing roof, and address HVAC issues. Everything was done seamlessly and on time! We highly recommend Bruno and his Empire Painting team!

The Empire team did a beautiful job painting our family’s home. Their attention to detail and professionalism was excellent. I would highly recommend them if you are considering your home a new paint job.

The crew was outstanding, impeccable work. Very hard workers on the hottest days of summer. Highly recommend and definitely would rehire and consider for other work at the condos as needed.

The company found a roof leak that had caused some structural damage that they made excellent repairs on. The unexpected work was reasonably priced. The crew was hard working and polite. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire them if I had additional work.

Bruno & his crew were terrific! I would hire them again in a heartbeat. They were very professional. Besides that, they were kind, thoughtful, and extremely accommodating. If you are looking for a house painting company you can trust to transform your home’s exterior - you cannot go wrong with Empire Painting!

The crew did an excellent job. They were meticulous and went above and beyond. It’s great that they were able to build a small deck as well as other repairs along with cleaning and staining house and garage. Very happy with the result.

Flawless. Bruno is a consummate professional that does what he says he will do when he says he will do it. A quality hard to find in today’s world. I would not hesitate to engage his company again. Hands down the best experience working with a contractor in my life.

Excellent! Bruno and his team worked diligently. Bruno alerted me to structural issues but they didn’t delay the project. The porch looks great and more importantly is structurally sound!

Worked very fast & efficiently. Painters were very polite & professional. Very good quality for the price, would definitely recommend this company.

Absolutely amazing! Bruno and his team are extremely detail oriented and the end result far exceeded my expectations! I would absolutely have him do work for me again if something comes up.

Bruno and his Empire Company team did a beautiful job! My house needed a lot of scraping and prep work since we had waited so long to paint. The crew worked extremely **** ** the cold, early spring days before it was warm enough to paint. We were lucky to have a few warm days and they worked long hours to finish the painting. We switched from blue trim to white so they did 3 coats instead of 2, and 3 coats on our doors too. Bruno is very meticulous about the work and our house looks fabulous! They also replaced a window, patched a hole at the top of our chimney we didn’t know about, and replaced a fascia board and sections of wood moldings where the wood had been wet next to the ground and rotted. Many neighbors have told us the house looks amazing. I highly recommend Empire Company!

We had our two-story aluminum-sided house and detached vinyl-sided garage painted, along with several exterior carpentry repairs. I cannot say enough positives about Bruno and the Empire workers: efficient, skilled, friendly, great communication, no unexpected cost over-runs, very neat, and very competitively priced. We are thrilled with our transformed home. The painting was very fast, skilled and precise—they are perfectionists and real pros. And we were very happy that Empire could include the carpentry repairs in the job. We now hope to have Empire back to do some interior work. Thank you Bruno and team! 5 stars all the way!

Empire did a fantastic job in remodeling my living room in a 100 year old house. The workers where so clean and respectful of my property in a job that took a full 2 weeks. When completed my living room was cleaner than when they arrived. Empire's pricing was very reasonable and he didn't try to hit me with additional cost for unseen circumstances. I was so happy with their work I gave him a little extra out of good conscience.

Bruno at the Empire Company was very easy to work with and the crew was friendly. Bruno provided a detailed written estimate and stuck to it. We asked to add some additional painting in after they had already started working and the, again gave a clear estimate and that is what we paid. The prep work they did seemed a lot more thorough than the last time we had our house painted and the end results look really sharp.

They did an excellent job. Workers were extremely conscientious. Cleaned up each day before leaving and gave me a status each day as to what they were doing. House went from looking shabby to fabulous. I would hire them again in a minute. They even did a few EXTRAs and still came in under estimate. Great people to work with.

These people are so superior to anyone else that we have used in the past. The owner, Bruno, is scrupulously honest. His crew are incredibly hard-working.

Very well. The job, painting the exterior of my house with some replacement of clapboards, was completed expeditiously by a crew that cleaned up after itself every day. I was most impressed by the prep work -- the scraping of old paint from surfaces -- and how windows, doorknobs and other hardware were protected during the process. Even more, the price quoted and charged was less than that quoted by other contractors.
