This is my THIRD attempt to get a review for PK posted. Only putting in the effort because everything about this job went perfectly. I highly recommend PK - the work came out great. He was prompt, professional, quick and very neat!! The price was reasonable for the amount of work, we supplied the paints.

PK is the best. He shows up o time and cleans up after himself. His work is excellent. Lines are sharp and crisp. We have already recieved compliments on the job.

PK did an excellent job of taping, plastering and painting. He arrived on time every morning and cleaned up every day before leaving. The entire job was done in three days. It was a pleasure to work with him. We will be using him again.

It all went great. He was punctual, polite and answered all our questions. He finished in about 6 days, working everyday until
it was completed. He never left to go to another job. The job came out fabulous. He was clean and neat. And after it was
all done he thoroughly cleaned all areas and removed all the waste to garbage cans and to the curb.
I would absolutely use him again. He was a joy to talk to as well.

Great! Very professional and easy to work well. Even accepted a delivery on our behalf which saved the day.

Will never use him again. He sounded and looked professional and did the job quickly. Hours after he was done when the paint started drying all these paint bubbles blisters and lines appeared. I told him it looked awful and those were paint bubbles and were already starting to chip. He said he wasn't responsible and all he does is paint. He blamed it on my walls. There were no paint bubbles blisters or lines before he painted. He just kept blaming it on the quality of my walls. It looks awful. I could have just painted it myself if I knew this was going to be the quality of the job. He refused to do anything so my super is going to fix the blisters bubbles. What a waste.
Response from P.D.E. Painting
"We value all the comments of our customers, even when they are not representing the full story. When the member called me to do an estimate, I came to him the same day. The first thing I told him was about the condition of the walls. There were a lot of cracks, walls were not straight, the condition of the walls was terrible. It appeared the apartment had not been renovated for about 25 years, no skim coat or plaster, just a couple of layers of old paint. However all that the member authorized me to do was paint the apartment. He asked me which paint would I recommend; I recommended Benjamin Moore regal select flat (there were a lot of cracks, walls were not straight, condition of the walls was terrible). He chose the color of paint and asked me if I can buy it and deliver it to him, as he did not have a car. I did this at no extra cost to him. Friday evening I started to paint the apartment for couple of hours, then I came back Saturday early morning and finished at noon. The member was checking my job, and everything was great. He paid me and I cleaned the apartment, all the walls were dry. (It takes from 1 -2 hrs to dry the paint.) Sunday about 2 pm he sent me a text message saying that there are bubbles and lines on the walls, and I was in his apartment right away to look at the problem. Upon inspection, the apartment was in the same condition when I left the day before, but he was surprised by the real condition of the walls. I have been painting professionally for 14 years and he is the first customer who is not satisfied with my work. I take my customers’ concerns very seriously, so while I can identify potential problems beforehand and give my best advice on how to avoid them, based on my experience, if the customer does not wish to heed my advice then I must work with the material that is present in the apartment. I stand by my workmanship on every job but in this case the problem would be the responsibility of the owner of the apartment for not maintaining the condition of the walls."

We have a 2 BR apt with 1,000 sq ft of space that needed painting, that included base molding & crown molding, walls, and ceilings. After he gave us the estimate, he started 3 days later. He asked for a list of paint colors and which rooms/walls we wanted them on. We reimbursed him for the paint supplies which were about $500. A helpful hint is to have the painter get the supplies, they generally have discounts from their suppliers. If we were to go out and buy it ourselves, it probably would've cost us about $800.
He started bright and early on a Monday morning, my husband met him and gave him a set of keys to our apt. He finished as he estimated in about 3-4 days. I think he did it by himself. We met him on Thursday and everything was neat and clean. A lil dust on the door finishes but he showed us it easily came off with just some water and a towel. He was so friendly and nice, he left us a house warming gift, two bottles of wine.
All the lines look crisp and clean, and we're very happy with his job. We'd definitely recommend him to our friends!

It went great. We contacted PK and he responded right away. He came out in a couple of days to assess our apartment and gave us a quote that same night. The quote was for a three day job but he ended up doing everything in two days. The amount sounded reasonable. He was able to start the job right away. He purchased the specified paint and we reimbursed him. We prepped the apartment beforehand, such as moving all the furniture to the center of the room, removing the drapes, etc.
He arrived on the start day right on time. He had all the supplies he needed such as ladder, tape and drop cloths. He worked straight through with hardly a break. PK was very friendly and easy to work with. He was extremely professional and focused about his work.
We were very happy with the job he did. In fact, impressed. It was such a professional job and it looks fantastic! We plan on using him again in the future and have recommended him to other people in our building.

This painting experience was so wonderful. The painter, Pzremick, was quick, the cost was about half of another Angie's List Painter, and his quality was excellent. I would use him again in a heartbeat. His English...not so great, but he was so pleasant and patient that we could work around it.

Mr. Kowalski came by on Saturday and gave me a quote. I called him on Sunday to confirm that he got the job. On Monday evening he started, worked on Tuesday evening and Wednesday evening, and the job was done. He painted our living room, foyer, bedroom and 2 walls in the basement. We told him the colours we wanted and he got the paint. Mr. Kowalski was very friendly, professional and flexible. At some point we changed our mind about the colour for one of the walls, and one phone call and a follow up text with the colour number was enough to get it changed. Mr. Kowalski was very responsive to phone calls and text. I would hire him again.

Mr. Kowalski performed 2 jobs for me. The first was plastering several different sized holes throughout my house where an electricial punched through the walls and ceilings to update my electricity. Mr. Kowalski was able to do that job in one evening where the other plasterers wanted 2 days and several hundred dollars more. The second job Mr. Kowalski did for me was skim coating and priming 2 entire bedrooms and one hallway. His work was fabulous and he took pride in what he did. He was very concerned that when he left for the evening I would somehow mess up his walls, so my homework was to leave the walls alone until he came back the next day. He was punctual, pleasant and meticulous about his work. He did a week's work over a weekend. He worked 10 hours a day. I don't know that that is healthy, but he had to get the job done before he started another one on Monday. I highly recommend this guy. I taught him a few choice English expressions too, but really his English is good.

After I contacted P.D.E. Painting though this website, Przemek called right away and came by for an estimate. He also recommended the paint type. Since I was not able to do it myself, he bought paints that I chose. On the day of the job, he was promptly on time; worked fast and was extremely polite and neat. There were virtually no spills and he cleaned up after himself. There were no surprises and job went without a cinch. Great job.

Przemek Kowalski-P.D.E. Painting is amazing!!! Przemek was easy to deal with and extremely professional from start to finish. He never complained about the poor condition of the apartment and attacked the problem areas with incredible skill. Przemek went above and beyond the call of duty and completely removed and repaired the entire ceiling instead of simply patching it like I originally requested. The ceiling now looks better than when I first moved in. Przemek's standards and quality of work are very high. The repairs that he made look amazing and are professionally executed. Przemek also worked very fast and expertly completed all repairs in 2 days just like he said he would in the beginning of the job. Przemek did everything he promised to do. I wish every painter and contractor was like Przemek Kowalski-P.D.E Painting. Thank you Przemek I have your number in my phone for the next job.

I can honestly tell you that Przemyslaw is a true professional. He came fully equipped with tools, drop cloths, vacuum and a fan to help the drying process. He even called to say he would be just 5 minutes late due to traffic on the L.I.E. The work he did was outstanding! And the only thing better than his work was his price. My walls and ceilings are plaster so they tend to crack over time. He skim coated a section of my bathroom and it looks amazing. Literally as smooth as glass! He also used a special mesh tape to help prevent any cracking in the future. He regrouted a 6' x 6' section of my shower and sealed the grout as well. I have subway tile so there are a lot of grout lines. Again, an excellent job. He also fixed a few other areas of the bathroom and an area of the ceiling in a bedroom with a few coats of plaster. After all the plaster was dry he primed and painted.
He did so much I didn't think this was a one day job. But he got right to work, was very patient to allow everything to adequately dry and completed all the work in about 7 hours. By the way, that was how long he said it would take when he started. I highly recommend Przemyslaw. I guarantee that you will be very happy when you see the work he can do.

Me and my wife were looking to buy new furniture but before that , we needed our 2-bedroom apartment to be painted including plastering as soon as possible. Due to the fact that we have children the walls required a lot of work to be done. We were searching for someone reliable who is able to produce top quality service at a fair price. Przemyslaw Kowalski was recommended by one of our neighbors who used the services of his company -PDE Painting -before. The work was completed on time and within an agreed budget. The apartment looks amazing. The walls radiate with brightness, smoothness and real color. PDE Painting cleaned up after the work was done. We are very satisfied and pleased with the work performed by PDE Painting. Przemyslaw Kowalski was very professional and knowledgable about all the aspects concerning the work and answered all our questions. We have no hesitation in recommending the services of PDE Painting because of reliability, effectiveness and top quality workmanship.

I don't think that we can throughly express how pleased, and happy we are with przemek kowalski's work. He did amazing work in our apartment. Not only he is extremly knowledgeable in his filed,but he is very matriculate with every thing he does. What i like the most about him is his punctuality. He finished painting before deadline. We trusted him with our apartment; we told him what we want and he was able to put our ideas on the wall. Combination of colors, venetian plaster came up wonderful. When my wife saw the apartment after he finished ; she almost cried - that happy she was. We highly recommend him to perform any type of painting job. You won't regret. IWe would definitly recomend him to preform any type of paintings.

Przemek did excelent job!
Since good painting depends on wall preparation he desided to redo work done by other contractor-in his opinion results of his work never would be satisfactory if he just painted walls prep by others. He spent tons of time and energy to make sure walls are smooth and even. He proved to be master of spackling - i never expected to see my walls in that condition!
When came to painting he showed real professionalism - known only to those who had a chance to see results of Przemek's work! This guy is a genius - and deserve to paint in best places!
He met difficult deadline by spending on the job long hours. He was tireless in his persue of perfection.
Thank you.
