I have been doing this work for over 30 years, and have earned Angie's List's Super Service Award for 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016. Mine is a small self-contained operation, with usually either myself and a helper, or additional painters/associates assisting me depending on the scope of the assignment.
Description of Work: Professional, polite, clean and affordable. I would definitely hire again.

Description of Work: Steve repainted my alcove studio in manhattan. The apartment was last repainted 14 years ago, and its age was showing. There were many bubbles formed over the years from either water damage or general wear and tear. Steve filled in all the cracks, and repainted everything - the walls, doors, moldings and frames. He was also able to work around the furniture (and covered it from paint) as the tenant was still occupying the space. I received 4 quotes, and Steve's was the lowest ranging from 20% to 100% lower. The quality was there too - edges were sharp, and the apartment looked brand new. I plan to use Steve in the future.

If one were to give four stars for a job well done, Steve deserves five for a project done exceedingly well. This difficult paint job of a duplex apartment in a landmarked townhouse, including stairwell, went tirelessly and smoothly over several days. The work, complicated by the moving of furniture, paintings and bookcases - over and above what the definition of a painter's job should be - was done with patience and expertise, far beyond the call of duty. All work was done in the time frame agreed upon, and was done beautifully. Steve, honorable and conscientious, is the best, and I recommend him wholeheartedly.
Description of Work: Steve Bakur prepped and painted a duplex apartment in a townhouse on landmarked street in Queens, NY.

He was meticulous and conscientious about personal property, and was clearly knowledgeable about the products we requested and technique. Steven is responsive, reliable, trustworthy (working in your home on his own), does great work and is fairly priced. He is definitely my go-to painter and I continue to recommend him to friends and design professionals.
Description of Work: Steven first painted two large rooms in my New York apartment and later the living room and dining room in my home outside of the city. In both cases he worked with complicated color palettes from interior designers - multiple colors in the same room.

He is very fast and neat. No headaches. No mess, no fuss. He wasn't intrusive, that's why we had him do all the work. He is fair and friendly.
Description of Work: He is a painting contractor. I've used him a couple of different times in the past. I watched him paint my neighbors house, and I liked his work so much, I had him paint my beach-house. My wife wanted our exterior color changed, so he came out and changed it from green to blue. He has also done work for my mom and my friend in Fort Lauderdale.

When I needed my condo loft painted in mid-town Manhattan recently a business colleague who I'd known and trusted recommended Steven Bakur. I knew that this colleague was very particular and even a bit fussy like I am so after interviewing a number of other painters I made an appointment with Mr. Bakur and decided to hire him. Steven did an outstanding job; he was extremely neat and respectful of my home and belongings, arrived on time and finished each day when he said he would, having accomplished his daily goals,. He proved trustworthy enough that I left him alone in the apartment, and always presented himself with pride. I was delighted with the results and have recommended him to friends and family as I would to anyone looking for an excellent painter.

I am very happy with my newly transformed kitchen and bathroom. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.
Description of Work: I needed to have my 80 year old kitchen and bathroom painted. There were cracks from settling over the years, I was impressed with the beautiful job that was done, especially the work on the kitchen ceiling. His painting is very neat and thorough, no droplets of paint on the floor! He works in a methodical and quiet manner which put me at ease as I am uncomfortable with most workers in my home. I thought his estimate was fair and well within my budget whereas other contractors I interviewed were too expensive for me to consider using them. I am glad I hired Steve.

.I had Steven paint my apartment recently, and was greatly impressed with his attention to detail, helpful suggestions, the speed at which he worked, easygoing personality, and his reasonable rates. I would happily recommend his painting service to any and all, and plan to refer him to my friends, or anyone else in need of an excellent painter. Thanks Angie's List! Leisha Schuman.
Description of Work: I have a large apartment and the walls were in dire need of a painting. Steven was recommended to me by a friend in NYC and I also saw him on Angie's List . That was the deal clincher. I live in Brooklyn. He was more than happy to accommodate me and traveled to Brooklyn to do an estimate. Fortunately for me, he was able to start work immediately and appeared bright and early the following day. The walls were in pretty good condition, however still in need of spackling. He even repaired the molding around the base of the walls, window sills etc. Aside from the fact that the paint job was fabulous, when he left I hardly noticed he was there. He cleaned up after himself on a daily basis. It only took 3 days to complete the entire job.

I had originally called another painter from Angie's list, but he was booked up and so referred me to someone he had worked with before who would be available sooner. I was very uneasy about hiring someone on the word of only one person, especially without being able to see the person's work. I needn't have been. Steven called me back immediately and showed up the next day to provide me with an estimate. Because I was on a very tight budget, I was thrilled that he was able to break down the pricing for me a la carte, which enabled me to select what was most important to me, and leave other areas for later. I hired him to paint the ceilings, walls, and trim of my living room, bedroom, foyer and kitchen, omitting the insides of the closets, as well as omitting my two bathrooms, which would require extensive wallpaper removal and patching. Steven took the time to meet me at the paint store, so that I could purchase my paint using his discount there. He provided some of the materials and I provided others. He was able to make it very clear exactly what I would need and how many gallons of paint so that I could estimate my cost appropriately, and he was right on target. The walls were in very good condion, but the ceiling was a real problem. Many of the people in my building have had severe problems with the popcorn ceilings buckling, ripping and coming down upon painting. Steven was not only able to paint very carefully to minimize the damage, but was able to fix any spots that needed repair through careful patching and hand brushing. I should also mention that although I had already picked out my colors, he was able to make suggestions on the trim and color combinations. His advice caused me to change one of the colors I was going to paint the trim and he was right. Overall, I am enjoying my freshly painted apartment and am very happy with the work that was done. In fact, I am planning to have him come back to do my master bathroom and then my closets as my budget allows and am grateful that he is willing to take on a smaller job. Some of the painters I had contacted prior to hiring Steven would not do less than an entire apartment at one time and I would not have been able to do that.
Description of Work: Painting the ceiling, walls and trim of a very large living room, very large bedroom, foyer and kitchen.
