We recently had some interior renovations done at our home. We hired Dorian to do the painting and some special finishes like Roman clay in one of the bedrooms, limewash in the living room and hallways and wallpaper installation in the powder room. Everything was handled with professionalism by Dorian and his team. Dorian has very good taste and gave us very valuable advise about the colors and materials to be used. We're grateful to have Dorian work on on our home. Highly recommended. The best painting contractor in NYC!

Dorian and his team are very professional, quick, and knowledgeable. He helped guide me through the entire process, including selecting colors, establishing a timeline, and refining the style for my new lime wash paint project. The quality of his work and the final result were outstanding, and I look forward to working with him again in the future.
