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.
He consulted on color and did a nice paint job. If I called his attention to some part of the job that I thought might need further attention. he was receptive. Based on my experience, I would use Steven again as my painter and highly recommend him.
Description of Work: Steven was a pleasure to work with. He was helpful with suggestions and interested in pleasing his clients. He painted an entire apartment for me and some outdoor space. for me.

Steve arrived on time and got right to work. He finished in half the time he estimated and as a result he gave a discount on the original agreed upon price. We would definitely use again.

Steven could not have been more professional. He took lots of time consulting with me about colors, details and finishes. He provided all materials and gave me excellent quality paint. Steven was meticulous with every detail and he gave me more finishing than I expected. His work is flawless and he clearly takes a huge amount of pride in his work. He has a great eye and I trusted his recommendations. Steven was always timely in the work project.I had no hesitation in having in my home and with my pets when I wasn't home. He is very collaborative and I am thrilled with the results. I wouldn't hesitate to use Steven again or recommend him to the Angie's List community.
Description of Work: Steven painted my halls, kitchen, living room and dining room. He painted trim and moldings. He patched over several areas including unused door hinge holes.

Steven did a fantastic job! From the first phone call until the job was done, Steven was an absolute pleasure to deal with. I contacted him to paint this small area of my apartment which desperately needed painting. We are selling the apartment and the painting needed to be done ASAP. Steven worked around his schedule to accommodate me and made me feel at ease immediately. He was on-time (for the consultation and the job) clean, neat, and did exactly as I asked him to do. His price was fair and he was great to work with. Overall the experience was terrific. I would highly recommend Steven to anyone and will use him again whenever I ever need a painter.

Prior to moving into our new apartment, we brought Steve in to help with a paint job. We wanted an interior painting professional that was a smaller operation and did not want three levels of separation between us and the person doing the work. Steve won our business because he was professional, highly communicative, and quickly understood our needs. Steve worked with us to choose paint colors to match existing wood accents and to "open up the space". He was on time, finished ahead of schedule and was on budget. I would highly recommend Steve's services.

It went SO WELL! Steven was absolutely fantastic to work with ? I contacted him to paint the apartment and since we didn't have a lot of furniture we requested he start ASAP - and he did! He even moved around another job to accommodate our schedule. He was on-time, clean and neat, and did exactly what he said he would ? His price was fair and he was really great to work with. It was a great experience, and I would highly recommend him to anyone! Thank you Steven!

Steve exceeded expectations. Initially, we were pleased with his reasonable estimate and gentlemanly demeanor. After he painted the first floor, we were thrilled. Steve is a true craftsman and it shows in his work. Every molding, doorway and ceiling received the same meticulous attention to detail. What impressed us the most was how he put his heart and soul into his work. He painted our home as if it were his home. He and his assistant were clean, polite and very nice, especially to our curious three year old grandson. He showed up when he said he would and the work was done when he said it would be done. As a bonus, we were also refinishing our floors and Steve recommended someone who was equally wonderful and reasonably priced, so we could coordinate the work. This was a big job and we were dreading it but it turned out to be amazing. Thank you, Steve, we are so grateful for our beautiful home.

The job started out as a simple job:Paint a few ceilings and touch up a wall. Upon further viewing and discussion we decided to paint the whole apartment. The Job was done in a professional and timely manner, but more importantly, Mr. Bakur's help in suggesting colors and contrasting color schemes was invaluable. The colors decided on for the Master Bedroom, with the two tone ceiling is spectacular. It is a shame pictures cannot be uploaded. The kitchen proved to be difficult as we wanted a specific tone to the ceiling, but Mr. Bakur was kind enough to put up with our fussiness, even though the ceiling had to be painted 3 times. However, the end result was worth it. There was a minor amount of plastering work to be done, and it was flawlessly handled. I strongly recommend this individual for painting work, and hope to be able to use him for one of our children's apartments. Don't be afraid to ask him for an opinion or assistance in choosing a color. He was invaluable to us in that regard.

Rave! Rave! Steven adapted to my narrow window of opportunity between tenants (with some waffling from the tenants about timing and paint color). He and his crew painted and patched in one day and we love the result. I'll hire him for my next job too.

f Steve is very nice to work with across the board, so we had a very good experience. He was very responsive when the initial contact was made; he came to do the estimate quickly thereafter; he gave a fair price; and did the work soon thereafter finishing before the end of the week. He did a very good job, and the place looks good. I fully recommend Steve as he is very professional, a good painter, and nice to work with.

I am not well and well and Steven worked around my schedule. He painted the apartment in three sections. It is a typical Manhattan apartment - too many things and too little space. All five bookcases are double stacked and heavy. Moving anything in the apartment is a problem because there is just so many places that are available. But, Steve made the job effortless. There is not a drop of paint on anything and my apartment looks three times bigger. A paint job is never pleasant because your life is turned upside down. But, Steve made this paint job an easy task.

Steve came to our apartment to give a quote at the time we wanted and provided a quote on the spot. We had just closed on a co-op so we wanted to paint before we moved in. Steve managed the co-op insurance process well and met with building requirements for work hours and other conditions. The job was completed on time and we were happy with the finish. I would recommend Steve.

Steve did an excellent job and was a delight to work with. The quality of the painting was wonderful. We chose many different colors, including multiple colors within the same room, and everything was done meticulously. Steve was extremely flexible with scheduling, accommodating date changes we needed to make due to unforeseen circumstances. He was also 100% reliable, showing up on schedule at all agreed upon days and times. I highly recommend him, and have already referred him to 2 of my friends.
Description of Work: Steve painted our 1000 square foot apartment: ceilings, walls, and trim in the hallway, kitchen, bathroom, living room, 2 bedrooms, and 2 closets. He also fixed cracks and plastered holes in closets, ceiling, and walls; and did wood puttying of new moldings.

I had inherited in apartment in Manhattan NY and needed tohave it brought up to snuff to sell. I had gone into a local hardware store to get an estimate on supplies. I told the owner I was going to do the work myself. I said that I wasn't looking forward to the task since Manhattan in the summer is brutal and I haven't done this in a long time. He told me of a neighborhood guy who was highly recommended by his customers. I called him to arrange a meeting and get an estimate, along with 2 other companies in the area. Mr. Bakur's estimate was competitive with the others, but he seemed very knowledgeable and confident with his skills and experience. Needless to say, I chose Mr. Bakur and he did a wonderful job of repairing the little (and not so little) cracks, nail holes and peeling paint. His paintwork was flawless and so much better than I couldn't have done myself. The final product looked more like a renovation than a just a good paint job. He finished on time and he left the apartment cleaner than I gave it to him. I couldn't be happier with the outcome and it made great impression with potential buyers. I think the place sold relatively quickly, due in part to the work he did. He had his paperwork ready when he started the job (insurance info, receipts, color chip thingies). He kept to the schedule we agreed to and even did few things not included in the estimate. I found his professionalism and straightforward approach to me as a customer quite different than I would have expected in NYC. I even gave him a tip.
Description of Work: My aunt's apartment had not been painted in at 7-8 years. It was a 2 bedroom, 2 bath, in a pre-war doorman building. I needed to have all the bad paint scraped off and speckled. Fix all the cracks, holes and loose plaster. Then paint everywhere, with eggshell on all the moldings and trim, plus the kitchen and bathroom. I wanted a good paint quality and not a spray job.

Description of Work: Steve Bakur Steve is not only a great friend who happens to be a great painter, but he is a great painter, who happens to be a great friend. I first hired Steve 24 year ago to paint my photographer’s studio. He came highly recommended by my studio manager at the time. Since then, Steve has painted every dwelling I have lived in since 1988. Whether a wall is simply being painted white or an industrial antique ceiling was damaged because of a flood, or a suburban house needs a choice color, Steve’s talents shine as he has given the proper advice and executes every job. With his signature approach. Just watching Steve use a brush or handling a roller, he is an artist at work! Whether painting a small room or tackling a 2000 square foot loft space, no matter what the project is, Steve does fabulous work. I am truly proud to recommend, Steve Bakur, for your next interior or exterior painting project! Frank Schramm

Steven came out to give us an estimate for the one room.We are more than pleased with the work he did. He was very accommodating and his work was very neat and clean. He was very professional. What impressed me was that he returned my call, where other painters did not. If I could give him an A+ I would. He was easy to get along with and it was nice to work with an experienced painter. His rates were very reasonable after receiving other quotes, which were higher than Steven's. I would certainly use him again in the future and will be recommending him to others.
Description of Work: He painted a bedroom for us, including the ceiling, closet and doors and the trims.
