We were very pleased with Brian's work in our new home! We had him remove some wallpaper and do a complete paint job of 2 bedrooms, the living room, and bathroom. I appreciated his communication throughout the process, as some of the walls and ceilings needed a little extra care due to some stains from moisture and nicotine. He left the space neat and tidy when he was done. He knows his stuff and I would not hesitate to hire him again as we continue to work on our home!

Work was completed on schedule, working around weather. Sanded and primed areas that were peeling. Sprayed and brushed paint into wood siding thoroughly. Thorough clean up. Good price for high quality work.

Brian was great to work with! Excellent with communication, gave an estimate quickly, was available in just a few days, was on time, was friendly and he did a great job! He was neat, cleaned up and the room looked great! He had to spray paint a popcorn ceiling, covered all walls, furniture & carpeting.

Brian did a wonderful job and was easy to work with. Responsive in communication and very transparent and upfront about costs and time estimates. He also did a great job cleaning up, and kept all work spaces neat over the duration of a very large project. I would hire Brian again and highly recommend him to anyone seeking interior paint work.

Everything went great. This house dates from the 1880s but it's no historical beauty; there were a mishmash of trims in the rooms Brian worked on and assorted holes and plaster damage. Before doing any painting he patched and repaired holes and made some minor plaster repairs where cracks had appeared. Where there were gaps in trims he filled them and made them look like they had actually been professionally fitted and installed (when the reality is that I installed a lot of them, poorly). He also had valuable advice about the type of paint to use, and explained his reasoning in a way that made sense to me. When he got to the actual painting the prep work paid off and it came out looking great. His attention to detail was crucial and I'll definitely call him for my next painting project.

I needed my garage painted within a month because the old paint was peeling badly and Brian was very responsive and friendly. He was out in a couple of days for an estimate and took a couple of paint chips to match the paint. He provided great customer service. He completed the job when he said he would and my garage now looks terrific.

Bryan was quick to come and give me a bid; he was pleasant, courteous, and wore a mask. He submitted a quote for the work which was clear and detailed. He was able to do the work even earlier than originally projected. Bryan was prompt, did good work, and cleaned up after. I will definitely hire him again.

Brian was able to do the job a week before he thought he could originally which was great. He was communicative and arrived as expected. He was respectful to me and my time and did a great job. I recommend him!

Wonderful. Brian was on time each day. He always let me know what he was going to do each day. His work was very professional and neat. He would clean up after his work day and at the end of the projects. In addition to his excellent painting work, he was very pleasant to have around the house.

Brian was amazing! he did a great job. After he left, I noticed a couple of very small things that got overlooked. I called him back and he came right back with no problem. Not only he's great at what he does, he's very friendly. His pricing is reasonable and I would hire him again if needed! A++

Brian Bilski did an excellent job for us. It turned out exactly as we hoped it would. He was very willing to work with us on this project. Work was completed in a very timely manner and we were not inconvenienced at all. We will definitely call brian again for any future painting projects.

Brian did a great job. he did request I be flexible with my timing which was fine with me since I had to move furniture out of the way. He spent 3 days at my house over two weeks and I could not be more pleased.
