Hoboken Painter

Now that a couple of weeks have passed, I’m noticing some details that I overlooked — there are paint drips along one of the walls they’ve painted, which I had to scrape off and touch up. Not a super big deal, but not exactly the hallmark of a professional job. More importantly, since I specifically mentioned to them that I was going with Aura matte so I could get the flawless touchups I’ve come to expect from that paint, I have found that they apparently did not box/​mix the three gallons of paint they used on the various walls throughout the house before they painted. As a result, the color (not sheen) of the touch up is slightly off in the half gallon I have remaining and I will be forced to completely re-​roll one of the walls they painted. Not impressed.

Very happy with the quality of work. Professional, quick and affordable. I spoke with Nick on Monday, he came with his team on Tuesday and finished painting six rooms and the upstairs and downstairs foyer, and it all looks great. Would definitely recommend.

Very unprofessional and messy work. Walls were not properly prepped before painting and every baseboard that was painted, leaked on to the walls, even the curtains got paint on them. Can’t believe a professional painter would paint and seal shut our breaker box. I would never hire this company again — very messy amateur work. Once again tricked by Unilocal 5-​star reviews. obviously written by the company.

Nick and team just painted our apartment in jersey city. Was very knowledgable and offered several recommendations, all of which turned out well. Overall job was top quality and nick came back when completed to make sure everything was perfect. would definitely use him again.

I cannot say enough about Nick and his crew! First off, Nick is an incredibly nice guy — and super responsive. Came to our apartment and gave a price quote which was he stuck to even after I postponed the job for several weeks. Nick & crew arrived on schedule. They were prepared, polite and helpful (we had some items that were too heavy for my roommate and me to move — no problem!) And the paint job they did was excellent — not a speck or drip. Will definitely use Nick again — I recommend him most highly.

Nick did a great job. He came over to give me an estimate and was able to schedule me the following week. He has a tiny notebook to track all his appts. He’s busy so I would book early. Nick speaks Russian so just be patient and take your time to make sure you are both on the same page about what you need done, He marks everything down on the estimate sheet. I believe someone checks his email but just call him if you don’t get an answer right away. Nick and Stefan showed up early. They did the ceilings, moldings, doors, living room, kitchen and small hall way from about 8 to 4. Left the place in great shape. Nick came back that evening to make sure I was happy with the work. Cash only. Highly recommend.

Nick and his team just painted our entire new condo in downtown Jersey City. They are very nice people to work with, extremely professional and get the job done very fast!
The walls are painted to perfection, they leave the place spotless clean, and Nick will do the final walk and all touch-​ups you request, always with a smile!
Very affordable service when compared to other vendors.
We are super happy with the service received from Nick and his team, would highly recommend to anyone, and will surely call them again if we need re-​paint in the future!
Thank you Nick!

Nick & the team are really nice people, they squeezed me into their schedule, even though I gave them really short notice.
They painted from 8 am to 1 pm which is insanely fast for a living room, kitchen, and staircase area + upstairs hallway.
There was an area that needed refining, they came the next day and fixed it.
They are really good and polite people, I highly recommend them.

When I found «Hoboken Painter» online I thought that I had found exactly what I needed. After requesting a quote and receiving a quote via email I tried to set up an appointment, however even though I had attempted contacting by email and phone I never heard anything back. When I tried to contact him again he acted like he never heard about my job and said that he would have to come out to do a quote. We scheduled for him to come out to do a quote the next day at 6:00pm (within the next 24 hours) and even asked for me to write him an email as a reminder. When he didn’t show or respond to the email, my text or phone calls I assumed that he would not be coming. I later received a text from him, «Sorry, my working day from 6:30am to 7:30pm. Please you find someone.» Which I can only assume means that he doesn’t want my business. Now we are stuck doing the job ourselves because I first emailed 6 days ago now. Poor business and NO customer service.

When my boyfriend and I were looking for a painter, we knew without a doubt (or even before we met Nick and got an estimate) that we would go with him based on the stellar reviews. We couldn’t be more happy or satisfied with the work. Our place looks exactly how we wanted and most importantly, he and his team were so meticulous and neat!
Nick made the whole process easy, fast and reliable! We would 110% recommend him to anyone and use him at any time in the future.

Quick, efficient and professional. Nick’s quote and amount charge were identical. They painted the master bedroom, living room and guest bedroom in about 6 hrs. The paint job is excellent, they were able to cover bright blue walls in eggshell finish with satin finish stripes with 1 coat of primer and 1 coat of paint in a much lighter color. Very nice people, and loved my dog.

I cant say enough about Nick, you only have to make sure you and him are on the same page because his English isn’t great. But his work is spot on. He did my 2700 square foot home, top to bottom in 3 days before I moved in. After the furniture arrived he came back and fixed all the marks the furniture movers made on the walls. A truly professional job done by a bunch of nice people. He had a gentleman named Stefan who helped us with colors also. Great Guys. I cant say enough. Also they come on time, almost to the minute. I forgot to say I hired Nick after I went to see a recent job of his while he was working, that’s when I decided he was the one, and he worked on Saturday to make sure we were ready for the movers on Monday…

Nick and his crew just finished painting my apartment. Looks awesome! On time, responds to your calls/​emails promptly, great attention to details! Definitely would recommend their service.

Nick has painted most of our JC condo, and has done a fantastic job for us! He was able to finish the jobs quickly but with care, and his quotes were always correct. He even picked up the paint for us! We would hire him again!

Nick painted my apartment, in J.C.‘s Hamilton Park neighborhood, a few weeks ago.
Though I understand he sometimes brings several family members along with him, for my place he brought a team of two super men: Stefan and Carlos, What a dynamic trio! He told me they would do it all in one day – which really sold me – and they did indeed. They showed up with all the paint needed before 9 a.m. and were out before 5. They removed everything from the walls, moved the furniture into the center of the room and covered it carefully and did a neat, professional job. I said I needed some patching done, but had underestimated the extent of it. But they handled it coolly and calmly. I love the place now!
Price was exactly what I had been quoted, and they were three very pleasant people to have around the apartment. Nick makes it so easy to paint, or I should say, to get painted.. .

After a failed attempt at me trying to paint a room in my new apartment, I realized I needed professional help for the rest of the apartment. Nick and his team came to the rescue!
Nick came by one evening to check the apartment and give me a more accurate quote. I have to say he is one of the nicest guys I’ve ever met. I had minimal lighting in the apartment and he was kind enough to look around in the semi darkness and offered me a ride to the train station afterwards! The estimate was very very reasonable for the quality of service and the actual painting.
On the morning of the paint job, Nick arrived with his team and very quickly covered the walls in what can only be called a perfect job. They were kind enough to show my husband and me what we were doing wrong with our efforts in the room we tried to paint.
Overall, a great experience, I would gladly recommend them to my friends and family and hope the team stays as awesome as they are right now.

From the reviews, I thought that he would be very diligent but the paint job was sloppy and he lost a couple of my switch plate covers and reinstalled my doors incorrectly. I would not hire him again.

My apartment is a converted factory with very high ceilings, awkard nooks and crannies, exposed beams, stairs, difficult ladder positioning, etc. Basically, a painter’s nightmare! I just bought the place (read: my budget was depleted), but it was in urgent need of a coat of paint. I called four contractors for quotes. One declined the job on account of the difficulty factor, and the other two provided proposals of more than double Nick’s price and schedule.
Nick visited me two or three times whenever I needed further information or changed my mind about something, and he did so ever friendly and polite, in spite of no guarantee of getting the job. When we finally settled on a scope and price, he was there promptly at the arranged time, with his assistant and his wife. Before speaking to Nick, my rough estimate was that the job would take at least a week, if done properly. Nick estimated he should be able to do it in three days. He ended up delivering it in ONE DAY!!! Sure, there were a few touch-​ups required, so he revisited the next day (again, friendly and polite as ever).
His pre-​estimate of the amount of paint it would take was spot-​on, and I was left with about half a gallon for future touch-​ups. We misunderstood each other on the need to paint the bathrooms, so he pre-​purchased paint for these, but when I told him I did not need them painted, he was absolutely fine with it and was happy to take the paint back at no cost to me.
I am somewhat pedantic about painting: it has to be perfect for me to be happy with it (which is part of the reason why I did not want to take on this task myself…). All I can say is that I am 100% satisfied with what Nick delivered! I cannot fault a thing: value, timing, quality, professionalism. He scores full marks!

As busy professionals my wife and I didn’t have time to paint our condo in downtown Jersey City. After doing some research on the internet we came across the very nice reviews for Nick and his team. I decided to give a call and although he was very busy in the summer months he made it a point to come over and give me a very competitive estimate. We booked a date and him, his wife and brother were here at 745am and finished before I returned home from work. I tried to pay before I went to work but he said don’t pay until you inspect our work. When I got home I was absolutely astounded by how wonderful a job they had done. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a professional and courteous paint crew. Thanks Nick!

As a busy professional, the last thing I have time for are errands in the middle of the day. I had Nick come out to my condo in the evening of the same day that I called him. He gave me a fair estimate, had a very warm personality, and came back the next morning at 7:45am and finished the job by 1pm that same day. I was able to visit the apartment off-​hours again with him to review the work. He and his wife and team did an amazing job with my 1BR condo and didn’t miss a single spot! His attention to detail is impeccable as he patched up a few areas that even I hadn’t noticed.
He only takes cash, so be sure to visit your ATM after he gives you the estimate.
All in all, he took the stress off my back and got the job done within 24 hours.
I plan to call Nick in the future and would highly recommend him!
