Editorial Review

Our Take on Paint Works New York

Paint Works is a Midtown shop built around apartment work and the paperwork that comes with it. Reviewers keep mentioning co-op boards, progress videos and straight estimates. Confirm the licence number before you sign, because the website does not list one.

  • Gupta Tamer1.0

    Extremely disappointing experience with painting and decorating painting company. The quality of the work has been unacceptable—our cabinets are already peeling, which is completely unacceptable considering the money we paid for the job.<br><br>No customer should feel disrespected or unwelcome because of their background.<br><br>We expected professional workmanship, quality materials, and respectful customer service. Instead, we were left with peeling cabinets and a very negative experience with the way we were treated. I would not recommend this company based on our experience, and I strongly suggest potential customers think carefully before hiring them.

    I'd been putting off fixing my old, cracked plaster ceiling from the 80's for years because it felt like such a production to get it redone.<br><br>I reached out to Paint Works, had a great walk-through and consultation with Marc, was quoted a reasonable price and then Josh and his amazing team (Jimmy & Jesus) came in and within a few days made it look brand new.<br><br>The team was very professional, friendly, and communicative, sending me video progress updates, timeline estimates and they even finished a day early(!)<br><br>I can't say enough nice things about everyone at Paint Works. I'm already planning on working with them again for another project. Highly recommend!

    I got a quote. Accepted. They coordinated with my building to provide proper insurance and access. They arrived on time. They painted. They repaired. They painted again. They finished. They were on time, and on budget. AND VERY PROFESSIONAL and nice guys. I highly recommend this company.

    Marc and his team at Paintworks did a fantastic job helping to make repairs on my apartment. Marc was available to meet and do a walk through. He was thorough, took notes and pics. Emailed me a detailed scope of work with an estimate. He and the team he had working at my apt were very communicative. They texted and answered all my questions and concerns promptly.<br>I would highly recommend using Paintworks for any home improvements including plumbing & electric work!

Company Background

About Paint Works New York

Paint Works New York started in 2007 under another name. Founder Marc Ringel, who had been teaching math at a Manhattan high school, launched the company as Floor Works, a wood floor business, and added painting when the economy shifted. Today the company works from an office on East 57th Street in Midtown, and its crews paint apartments and brownstones in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Beyond walls and ceilings, the team repairs plaster, trim and crown molding, installs wallpaper, repairs wood floors and sprays kitchen cabinet doors in its own workshop. Commercial painting for offices and retail is also listed on the website.

Reviewers describe a co-op and condo routine. One owner said the team worked with the co-op board to get approval, and that project managers Lily and Josh sent videos and progress reports along the way. Another, moving from out of state, praised Marc for coordinating with a realtor so the job could be priced without the owner present. The owner of a prewar apartment said the kitchen trim, ceiling and cabinets looked new after two decades of wear. Paint Works holds 4.9 stars from 112 Google reviews, read November 2, 2026, and none of the five reviews Google surfaced was negative.

The office is open Monday to Friday, 9 to 5, so weekend questions wait until Monday. The website does not publish a licence number. New York City licenses home improvement contractors through the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection, so ask for the number and check it yourself.

This team suits apartment owners, co-op and condo residents who need board paperwork handled, and designers who want plaster, trim and cabinets done by one crew. It suits less well anyone outside Manhattan and Brooklyn, or a small single-room job on a tight budget. Before booking, ask for a written quote, the licence number, the warranty terms, and lead-safe work practices if the building predates 1978.
