    The team did a beautiful job painting and wallpapering our apartment. They were very careful and efficient, and cleaned up the job site perfectly.

  • Karen Picciano5.0

    As an Interior Designer working in NY and Florida, I can most certainly give Paintworks & Decorating an outstanding review and my highest recommendation! Ryan, as the main estimator, was an excellent communicator and presented a thorough and itemized quote. Ryan's crew of one painter and two wallpapermen were prepared and professional. Although the areas were tight, they carefully and meticulously worked to complete the job in a timely manner.<br>It's obvious Ryan employs the most qualified and skilled Master Wallpaper men and Painters.<br>My client is extremely pleased, and so am I as their designer. I’m so pleased I chose Paintworks & Decorating for this job.

  • Mike H5.0

    We had a great experience with Paintworks. The team was quick, professional, and completed the job promptly and on schedule. Ryan and the rest of the crew were exceptionally helpful, responsive, and professional throughout the process. Our apartment looks great!

    Ryan and his crew did an amazing job restoring all of my stainless-steel appliances back to like-new condition with a beautiful shine. My cleaning lady had accidentally used the wrong aluminum cleaning product, which badly discolored and damaged the stainless-steel surfaces.<br><br>Ryan and his team were able to restore the finish and bring the shine back. The difference is incredible!

    Used this company some years ago and agree with another review the language that was used by Ricky was not professional.

    September 2026Google
  • Melissa D1.0

    I know this company has received many excellent reviews, which is why I chose them. Unfortunately, it would be an understatement to say that I was extremely disappointed with the level of service I received.<br><br>I am still finding paint on my brand-new hardwood floors, air conditioners, kitchen cabinets, and door hinges. Paint is also already flaking off the bottom of my bathroom door. The painters did not even take the time to remove the outlet covers or doorknobs—a standard practice and something I specifically requested.<br><br>The company offered to return and correct the issues, but allowing them back into my home would only cause me further stress because I no longer trust that they will not damage something else. I was also told that the paint would simply come off “with water,” which is absolutely not true. That response only added to my disappointment and reinforced my concerns about their professionalism.<br><br>Given this company’s reputation, I expected a much higher level of care, professionalism, and attention to detail. This experience fell far short of those expectations.

Company Background

About Paintworks & Decorating

Paintworks & Decorating works out of a shop at 45-20 11th Street in Long Island City, Queens, and serves Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Westchester County and northern New Jersey. Its website footer lists a New York City Home Improvement Contractor licence, number 2093229-DCA, which is the credential the city expects from a company doing residential renovation work. The site also says the company is fully licensed and insured.

The service list is wide. Residential crews paint interiors and exteriors, hang and remove wallpaper, paint kitchen cabinets, repair water damage and handle baseboards, wall moldings and door trim. A commercial side covers large offices, overnight retail and restaurant jobs, and an industrial side covers structural steel and fireproofing. For a homeowner, the useful part is that carpentry and paint come from one crew.

Reviewers give specifics. One couple with a large finished basement said Danny custom built an arch and the crew color drenched one side of a room, cleaned up wainscoting and caulked neatly. An interior designer who works in New York and Florida praised Ryan, the main estimator, for an itemized quote and a crew of one painter and two wallpaper hangers who worked carefully in tight rooms. The company holds 4.9 stars from 220 Google reviews, read November 2, 2026. One reviewer posted a one-star complaint about paint left on hardwood floors, air conditioners and hinges, so ask how floors and fixtures will be protected.

The website promises virtual estimates, proposals within 24 hours and same-day or next-day appointments. Warranty terms depend on the project and typically run one year.

This company suits apartment and brownstone owners who want paint, wallpaper and trim repairs handled together. It suits less well a buyer who wants the lowest quote on a single room. Before booking, ask for a written itemized quote, the warranty in writing, and lead-safe practices for homes built before 1978, and confirm the licence on the city lookup.
