Steve G is my go-to guy for painting and wallpaper, hands down. When I needed some work done in my new Chelsea home, I did a little digging and came across his glowing reviews and gorgeous photos, so I reached out right away. He got back to me quickly and kept great communication the whole time. He came by the very next day to walk through the details, then squeezed us into his schedule almost immediately and gave us a really fair price. Steve painted, primed our walls, and hung our Zak+Fox wallpaper with just beautiful precision. Couldn't be happier with how it turned out. I recommend him without hesitation!

We had Steve G. in to install the wallpaper in our daughter’s bedroom and strip the old paper off & repaper our powder room.
We were so pleased we just had him back to install the mural in our office.
He absolutely knows his craft.
We recommend him without reservation and will definitely recommend him to our friends.
