The work done by the team looks great! They were all very professional!

We recently had Old World Painting repaint the trim and doors in our home. We also had the garage door painted. They did an excellent job and we plan to have them back next year to paint the living and dining rooms. I highly recommend Old World Painting.

Very professional job. From the quote to the finished product, it came out better than I had anticipated considering the condition of the deck and breezeway.

We had our family room and dining room painted by Old World Painting. The supervisor and crew that were sent to do the work were hard working, pleasant and helpful. Our home was over 8o years old and there were challenges in the dining room with the integrity of the sheet rock walls that had been wallpapered multiple timers in the past. When paper was removed , these flaws were pointed out and a very reasonable upgrade from proposal was given. The job took two days longer than planned, but was well worth it. My wife and I were very satisfied ; oh, and they cleaned up area and left area spotless. Would hire back again in the future.

Old World Painting just finished some painting and ceiling work in our house, and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. The crew was super friendly, easy to work with, and they really paid attention to the little details. Our rooms look completely refreshed, and the ceiling work made such a difference. They showed up on time, kept things clean, and made the whole process stress-free. If you’re thinking about getting any painting done, I’d definitely recommend giving them a call — they did an awesome job!

Great; one room old wall paper had to be taken off; the walls had wallpaper of and layers of paint in the past; when stripped it was obvious that walls and ceiling needed more work; walls were repaired , stucco ceiling removed and plaster repairs; some water damage discovered and repairs; very reasonable upgrade cost was added. Very happy with the crew and work they did....very hardworking and pleasant.

It was a excellent experience. They were very professional and took the time to explain the process, step by step. They explained the time line and called when there was rain to reschedule. The paint job was was excellent and got rave reviews from the neighbors. The job was done in a timely fashion and they cleaned up afterwards.

Communicate well. God the job done in 1 day. Fair price.

Remove wallpaper, sand, primer due to smoking, paint woodwork, walls and ceiling. The crew was neat, professional, puctual, and friendly. I certainly would use again. Initially when I contacted D.J. He came out the following day and we sealed the deal . I was happy with our conversation.

We had interior painting of basically the entire house plus crown molding added and baseboard molding replaced on the second floor. This job was an amazing experience! Apostoli explained everything about the job and cost and then did frequent checks to make sure we were happy with the progress/results. Craig is both carpenter and painter and did the most amazing work at transforming our living spaces. Jay, DJ and Kareem were all professional and courteous. We would definitely use the company again.

The team at Old World painting were fantastic, from a prompt and thorough estimate, all the way through to immaculate completion. Apostoli, Dj, Kareem, Craig, Eric, Klodian and Zack were all highly skilled, professional and honestly fun to have around. After extensive wall damage in our old house from re-wiring and retro fitting AC, the team had their work cut out for them. Every room had patch work required on walls and ceilings and needed to be completely repainted. Two ceilings were in such bad condition that they needed to be taken down and replaced. Every room was tackled methodically and thoughtfully. The team helped us clear each room in turn and put everything back as if they had never been there. As we were so impressed with the quality and service, we took the plunge and opted to have Old World paint our kitchen cabinets as well, resulting in a completely different, modern kitchen which we love! Thanks to the whole crew at Old World, we will have you back for round 2 soon!

I've been a successful Realtor in NW Philadelphia for almost 40 years and meet vendors, contractors, estimators, etc. all the time. However, so glad I met these guys for my own home. They are masters at their craft and I am now a fan! Dj, Craig, Kareem and Taion, Raphique, Daquan are nothing but wonderful not only as humans but also at details. Hired Old World Painters to paint the exterior of our 3 floor Victorian, that hadn't been painted in a few decades. So glad we went with OWP. They always arrived right on time, and worked tirelessly to get the job done. Particularly impressed with the amount of prep work involved to get the house ready for painting. We also had them replace a few cracked window panes, do some stucco repair and reglaze all of our original windows. The results are like night and day. Love the way the house looks!

Apostoli M (0wner) reviewed the job almost immediately after my call (plea) for help. He really examined the needed work and explained what needed to be done. He promised to be clean, careful and that no one would know they had been there. The employee who did the work (Craig) was absolutely wonderful. Totally competent and true to his art form. Craig would text and let me know he was on the way; he was always on time; worked VERY hard each day. He was good about protecting everything. For example, he set down cloth tarps on the ground and put spaces so as not to cover my small plants so they wouldn't smother. I told him they would survive and cover them too. Then he shop-vaccumed my mulch! I can't rave enough. Craig went over how he would perform and routinely showed me his progress. He fixed everything and was able to repair and replace that part of the rotting sill. The entire window looks beautiful and perhaps even better when first installed about 87 years ago. Apostoli promised to come check things out in the fall to make sure it was still all good. So, finally: Yes, it was expensive. Yes, this is an art. Yes, you are going to pay for it. And when you calculate the overall cost to the time involved and the final product, you will have gotten a bargain!

Apostoli and his crew - Craig, DJ, Kareem and Raphique - were terrific to work with, from start to finish. They communicated often, committed to our our job - came every day until the job was done - cleaned up thoroughly at the end of each day, and were very professional and easy to work with. The paint on the exterior of our home was peeling and cracked. My husband and I were very impressed with the amount of prep work the team did - hand scarping the peeling paint and repairing the cracks and larger areas in the stucco before even beginning to paint. You can really tell they care about the job they do. Apostoli was very knowledgeable about the correct products to use on stucco so that the paint would adhere correctly. Craig also replaced 2 rotted window sills and 2 sets of shutters for us - excellent work! I had obtained 3 quotes before deciding on Old World Painting. Their quote came in the middle, but we feel we really received a top quality professional job - money well spent!

Terrific job. We have a Victorian house with scalloped shingle siding, which is more or less a housepainter's worst nightmare. Also we have a painted metal roof which was considerably faded and rusty. But DJ, Craig, Kareem and Rafique spent two weeks poring over every inch of our place, making sure every flake of loose paint or rust was off and the surface was clean and solid for painting. They used a special epoxy primer I'd never heard of to make sure the new paint lasts. There were a number of spots of rotten wood around our porch which I had intended to fix before they came, but they were too fast for me. Craig mentioned that he had also worked as a carpenter. I had him fix a couple of spots, and he did such a superb job that I asked him to continue and fix every bit of rotten wood on the outside of the house. He did all that without slowing down the progress of the painting. They were most polite and courteous, and cleaned up thoroughly at the end of every day. When they were done, we combed over the house in case there was any spot they had missed. There were none. Every inch was just right. Before hiring Old World Painting we asked for bids from several companies. Old World's bid was not the cheapest, but it was far from the highest. I feel we got a great value. I would recommend them highly, without reservation.

I had three rooms, a stair well and hallway painted. My house is 98 years old. The woodwork was worn, under several bad paint jobs and an accumulation of drips, ridges, and poorly bonded layers. The plaster of the walls was uneven, due to age and settling, poor plastering over drywall repairs and a few places where the plaster detached from the lathe. It needed more than a “light sand and paint,” which was all most of the 8 or so painters I interviewed were willing to do. This house needed an intervention. After two interviews, Apostoli understood the conditions of the house, what I wanted done, and was willing to do all the prep work that would be necessary. But his team didn’t just run with it. They paused and had me review their work a few times in the first days to clarify what I wanted. After that, they would ask for my review of each room as it was finished. I’m a perfectionist about painting and had painted some of the house myself so I knew how much work was involved and, in some cases, how I wanted it done. Apostoli and his crew were very patient and listened to my sometimes detailed instructions and concerns. They did a lot of scraping, sanding, priming, filling — a lot of filling — caulking and finally sanding down the woodwork to flat and smooth surfaces. They did a lot of patching and skim coating of the plaster walls and ceilings. They discovered the plaster of three ceilings had detached from the lathe and replaced them. The crew, Craig, DJ, and Kareem, were great to work with. They were congenial and took pride in their work. They were respectful of our property and privacy. I felt comfortable having them in my home. They showed up every day until the project was finished. They worked steadily from 8 when they arrived, took a lunch, and continued working until they left, often at 5:30 or 6. They sealed the doorway of each room with plastic to contain most of the dust. They cleaned up at the end of every work day, gathered their equipment in one place, and swept and vacuumed the work area. They were open to requests, took corrections well and asked questions if they were in doubt. They reserved the last day for touch ups that they had flagged as they worked. I removed all hardware to protect it and facilitate the sanding and painting. At their request I created a detailed list of all paints and where they were to be applied which they followed flawlessly. You might want to drape furniture in the rest of the house for dust and have them cover the path from the entrance of the house to the work area with paper taped to the floor. If you have any chemical sensitivity, you should talk with them up front as some of the fillers and primers they use have a strong smell. The results exceeded my expectations. The plaster of the walls and ceilings is now smooth and looks like new. The woodwork has flat surfaces, smooth curves and sharper detail. What had appeared as an old, worn and neglected interior now looks bright and well-maintained.

We hired Old World Painting primarily for exterior wood staining, but also some interior work. Although the job took longer than expected, the workmanship and attention to detail were outstanding, and it was well worth the wait. The cost was also highly competitive. DJ, Angel, Carl, Josh, and Kareem contributed and were all professional and friendly. We will definitely hire them again.

Overall process went great. Apo was very responsive to requests to provide estimates and his team of Craig and Laurence provided quality work. The job extended over 4 days and they promptly arrived each morning and took great care to clean up each evening. Overall I was pleased with quality of the work and the professionalism of the team.

From consultation to execution, Old World Painting exceeded my expectations. Apostoli’s “no-fluff,” open communication approach made it easy to not only trust but also choose them to paint my interior. If I had a question or concern, Apostoli was easy to reach and willing to swing by at short notice, which was extremely unique during a pandemic where it’s been difficult to contact most contractors. The job took roughly 3 days. DJ, Drew and Laurence arrived on time every day and worked diligently to ensure my vision came to life. If something needed adjusting, they quickly resolved it. The job resulted in a neat and smooth finish, which has already received compliments. My freshly painted walls look incredible and I’m excited to finally furnish my space. Overall, I would highly recommend Old World Painting. They checked all the boxes for me: Price, Customer Service, Quality and Professionalism. 10 out of 10 experience.

Excellent the work went smoothly Craig was very good with his carpentry work DJ Drew and Joe were very professional as they were painting and repairing my ceiling and walls

I selected Old World Painting to paint the exterior of my large 120-year-old home. I interviewed 4 painting companies and ultimately chose OWP because of Apo’s knowledge, attention to detail, and passion to give my home a beautiful and classic look. The job was professionally done. The prep work was thorough and well beyond my expectations. Apo and I communicated every day. Craig had a window sill and molding custom milled to replaced some rotted areas, and it match perfectly. The front door was painted with high gloss Fine Paints of Europe which I highly recommend, which is very elegant and makes it really pop. I highly recommend Old World Painting.

The guys were awesome and their work was impeccable. They were a bit more expensive but they really took their time and their work was meticulous. They really took pride n the finished product. They ran into some unforeseen problems with old walls and they overcame them with easy. I highly recommend them and will definitely hire them in the future.

The project went very well. It only took 3 days. Craig and Joe did a seamless job. They literally transformed my porch. I hired them to come back in the spring for more work. I highly recommend Old World Painting to anyone who wants a clean, crisp job.

Excellent—great job—reliable crew showed up as promised and finished in good time. Repaired wood as needed; everything looks great!

Highly recommend Old World Painting! Hands down the best painting company we have ever used. Their preparation and attention to detail was top notch. And the owner, Apostoli and the crew were great to work with and very helpful throughout our project. We are extremely happy with how beautiful our home looks.
