AZ PAINTING & HOME IMPROVEMENT — Local services in New York

We were facing a real dilemma with our cabinets - after living in our apartment for 12 years, the wood-colored varnish was pretty beat up in a lot of places. As we planned to sell our unit, we thought we had two equally un-appetizing choices: spend 20 to 30 thousand to replace the cabinets, or go the DIY route (sand and re-paint ourselves), which gave no guarantee of a good result.

Our real estate agent recommended Indrit, whose company, AZ Painting & Home Improvement, has been servicing residential and business locations all across the city, and beyond. To put it bluntly, Indrit saved our butts. He conducted an in-person appraisal and quote at no charge (where other contractors were charging for a visit and quote), and the price was highly competitive given the task.

In less than four days, Indrit and his team had sanded down all surfaces, primed, painted, and cleaned up. They worked quickly and - I should say we live in a co-op with a few nosy neighbors - discreetly, keeping any noise to a minimum and within reasonable hours.

We were shocked at the high quality of the results: when you look at the pictures of his other work, be aware: yes, your cabinets/doors/etc will look that good. Long story short: our cabinets looked better than they did when we first moved in.

A word about professionalism. Indrit is an exemplary case of a business owner who puts the client first. He has an impeccable manner, he is extremely responsive to any inquiries or issues, and he is very thoughtful. The field of home improvement professionals can be pretty dicey in terms of personality and temperament - it needs to be said that Indrit is 10/10 in all categories. Heck, I'd work for him.

I wish I could say more, but what it boils down to is this: if you're caught in a tough spot and you're just not not confident you can do the painting yourself (and let's be honest - a proper paint job is not a walk in the park), and you don't have $50K to throw down for a major renovation, do yourself a favor and call Indrit. He will Batman/Superman/Spider-Man/Iron Man/Thor/The Incredible Hulk/etc your project, and you will find yourself writing a...

Indrit and his team are amazing professionals. They all have a minimum of 10 years of experience.

They painted our 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom upper west side apartment with a high degree of quality and in a record time. It took them 1.5 day, and could have been done in 1 day if our Coop allowed a longer working period. They were able to work with strict Coop requirements seamlessly (9.30am-3.30pm, Certificate of Insurance, COVID-19 stronger constraints…), movers in their way and a bed delivery.

The communication was perfect, with the right number of follow-ups and clear details all along the way regarding the price, the timing, the work and anything else you could imagine.

Indrit is really someone who takes being in charge seriously, and he will go beyond his way to ensure a 100% customer satisfaction.

What I really appreciated is the fact that he was on time, he came to see the place, gave us a quote and stuck to it. When we had to change minor details, he was very open and adapted quickly. His staff was polite and cleaned behind themselves. The work was neat and they won us as customers for the next job. It’s great to find reliable professionals at a reasonable price in New York city.

Thank you Indrit and AZ painting for your hard work! We wish you success and a great...

Wow, finally someone you can trust to do a good job! Indrit and his crew painted my apartment with the type of professional care and attention that I thought had fallen off back in the early 1900s—when things were made to last. The trim and finish are immaculate, communication was outstanding and perhaps most amazing of all, the job was completed on time and within the agreed upon budget. He even stripped the antique brass doorknob plates and glass knobs that had been slathered over by countless landlords over the eons, restoring the original aesthetic beauty of our pre-war apartment building.

Extra care was taken to leave the site spotless, from tenting and masking to the diligent use of an air scrubber as per my special request. I have a young daughter and was concerned about dust since they were stripping away some old paint, but Indrit took it upon himself to assuage any worries. We just walked in and the apartment was totally ready to live in, no odor, no mess, just fresh paint. What more could...
