Elfralie Design & Interior Painting

Victor did a fantastic job painting two accent walls in my Dumbo home. He picked up the colors I selected in advance, showed up on time (early in fact), paid close attention to detail, and cleaned up thoroughly when the job was done. Victor even helped me apply a rather intricate decal to one of our bedroom walls, and it came our great. I highly recommend using his services.

Was anxious as this was my first time contracting a painter, but after extensive research Victor was definitely the right decision for us. Very responsive on email. He made an extra trip to my place of work to obtain a 2^nd set of keys as the ones I gave didn’t work (hour round trip), and never mentioned it. Didn’t sweat the small stuff and even did some additional bespoke maintenance for us around our fire place which we think is great. Thanks Victor for everything!

I purchased a house few months ago and needed to paint the entire house. The conditions of the house was pretty good, we didn’t think we needed to do the entire house, so we have Victor come in and give us a quote just for the rooms vs the rooms plus the kitchen, dinning room, living room etc. We also had another painter come so we can compare the pricing, both of them are very professional. Victors price is much more reasonable so we setup a date to start. At the same time, we had our bathrooms renovated but we figured that shouldn’t affect the painting. Boy was I wrong! As with all renovations, it got delayed. We needed to moved in by certain date, Victor was kind enough to be able to complete the job to fit both of our schedule, painting the rooms he can first then the rest when it’s ready. He would put plastic cover for all our newly polished hardwood floors and there were a lot of molding around the window and doors. We didn’t want to change the color of the molding and he was able to find a match for them! Overall, very very happy with him and his team. The paint came out nice and everything was great! Definitely will recommend him to my friends!

Victor came personally recommended to me last year and I’ve since recommended him to a few friends to outstanding results. When I met him, he had just painted my broker’s new Astoria offices and I could already see his work was fantastic. But words cannot fully express how extraordinary Victor is to work with. He not only gave us the best price, took care of all the little things including repairs and paint acquisition, and was so knowledgable and patient with my initial color and finish indecisiveness, but he also did a simply amazing job. The work is so polished and professional. And as a professional designer and creative director, I know good work when I see it. This is it. Real deal in more ways than one!

Victor was professional and did a fantastic job painting and replacing the base boards in my apartment. He estimated two-​weeks and finished a day and half early. Every time the crew left things were as clean as I could have hoped. He was honest and transparent with supply costs. I highly recommend Elfralie!

Victor did a fabulous job at paining our nursery. He was patient and willing to do as many coats as required. He was prompt and on time. Came with all the required equipment. Was reasonable with his rates and finished the job in a few hours.
I highly recommend his service.

So so happy with the service. Victor was great, from beginning to end. Provided a fair and reasonable estimate based on my rough measurements and a few pictures. Even helped with color suggestions (with pictures) when I wasn’t able to get to the store. Arrived right on time, ready to go. Victor and his coworker were helpful, friendly, efficient and did an amazing job. Our walls were a mess from two coats of previous paint terribly done by me (dark red, covered by blue), there were holes from nails, and even water damage from old leaks. They transformed our walls from terrible to beautiful, I feel like we’re living in a brand new apartment. I wish I had more walls for them to paint! Highly recommended!

Victor finished painting our apartment today, and we are thrilled with his work and professionlism. Victor met with us twice prior to hiring him, sent us the insurance certificate right away for our coop, and started the job when promised. He really goes above and beyond for his customers. He repainted our master bedroom ceiling because we didn’t have as much contrast between the walls and ceiling like we thought we were going to have (totally our fault), so we picked out a new ceiling color, and he repainted. Thanks, Victor. It was great working with you!

One word summarizes Victor and his work ethic — amazing! It doesn’t get better than that … he is top notch, reliable, and produces high quality work. I recently put Victor and his team through the ringer with a full apartment paint job that included wall paper removal from multiple rooms (which isn’t easy) and painting numerous coats over those areas. I wasn’t sure of the color I wanted to use so consulted with Victor and he gave me some great advice and direction on type of paint and finishing I should be considering.
After painting one of the rooms, I changed my mind with the color (sorry Victor!) and asked if I can repaint the area with a different shade. Without any hesitation he agreed and did not charge me a penny for the extra work. Victor is all about customer satisfaction!
Overall Victor went above and beyond with great craftsmanship and made sure I was completely satisfied with the work. He is great with communication (emails, calls, texts, etc.) and available at all hours answering my random questions on paint color, finishing, and cost. He is the best out the there and very reasonable with his prices. He truly did an amazing job with my apartment and I will definitely use him again and recommend him to everyone I know.

I just hired Victor based on the Unilocal reviews and they were not wrong about him or his services! He is amiable, reliable, speedy and he did an INCREDIBLE job. I needed to get a painter who could just refresh the paint in my apartment. Same color, just one coat. In addition to the paint refresh, there were some sheet rock damages on one wall, bc I had ripped a couple of velcro pieces off too fast. There were about four of these very visible holes, and they rested on some very intricate stenciling that was on that one wall. Very difficult to correct without compromising the stenciling.
From other painters, I received quotes upwards of $ 1000 for the overall job! One even quoted $ 1400. Crazytown. Victor’s price was a FRACTION of that. And he did a beautiful job!
He flawlessly spackled and painted the sheet rock holes on and around the stenciled patterns. I couldn’t even tell there had been any damage done. And then he painted all of the other walls beautifully. He even took down a massive TV that had been mounted on the wall, painted behind it, and replaced the TV back on the mount. Overall, I left him alone in my apartment for only a few hours and then when I returned, the place was absolutely STUNNING. I am so happy I hired him, and I tipped him 25%, that’s how impressed I was with his work.
He was very relaxed, low key and easy to work with. And incredibly inexpensive. If you hire him, you won’t be sorry. And please please please tip him well, he deserves every penny. I highly recommend Victor!

I have been working with Victor for a few apts. he is very professional. He always offers the best possible rate. High recommend.

I cannot speak highly enough of Victor! He is incredible. He is so professional, so speedy and did such a great job!
My building requires all sorts of documentation, etc, and Victor did everything he could to expedite the process and squeeze me in on a moment’s notice. Truly beyond my expectations.
I highly recommend Victor! I will definitely be calling him again the next time I need painting help.

Victor! He is the man. He suggested he come over to see our apartment and what we wanted to do with it and unlike a big, greedy company, he didn’t charge us for basically what amounted to a consultation. Then he bought the paint and supplies he needed, was very flexible schedule-​wise and was on time. He estimated the cost and time he needed and did the job in exactly the amount of time he said it would take… the mark of experience! The job was done with superb quality and considering how quick we needed someone to come in and out, I’d say he did a fantastic job. It doesn’t look like a two-​hour job. It looks like 2 – 3 guys came into the apartment and meticulously painted it.
He was a lifesaver, a godsend, a true professional. I would totally recommend him to anyone for any type of paint job and I will definitely be calling him again.

Victor’s professionalism and service are outstanding. It was very easy to schedule an appointment with him and get a quote based on a few pictures I emailed him of my new apartment. His price was totally reasonable and he was very friendly over the phone.
Today, he showed up early and completed the work, flawlessly, ahead of schedule!
One slight problem… I hated the color that I chose. I had examined it in various lights and had received a second opinion on the swatch from a friend, but nevertheless, what I thought would be a light grey with purple undertones was instead pure and total lavender. I was kind of in shock at my princessy room and was so upset with myself for choosing it. I had just wasted time and money on a perfectly executed version of something I didn’t want.
Victor could tell I was upset and was a total gentleman. He suggested we go to the paint store and find something that would work better. This time, we chose well… And he repainted the walls and ceiling beautifully and quickly in an icy grey. Not one stray mark. Not one.
This whole episode of color changing was totally my fault and cost Victor a couple of hours of extra time. Even still, he would not accept extra money for the labor! He was so incredibly kind — not only to absorb the time cost but also to be sensitive and warm in handling the situation.
I 100% recommend Victor for superb quality work and as a person who goes above and beyond to make the client happy. I was very touched and would absolutely use him again.

I do believe it is a rite of passage for all young professionals to think, «Do I really know what I’m doing?» That moment comes shortly before the realization that you might not actually classify as a «young professional» anymore, followed also by the determined necessity for something other than the blank, white walls that come with every apartment.
Victor and his team did an AMAZING job — and fast! Also, when I realized there was one additional wall I hadn’t clearly communicated I wanted painted, I was ready to say, «That’s okay, it looks good, have a nice day.» But Victor told me, «Your apartment should look the way you want it to,» and stayed later to make sure everything was complete to my liking.
Thank you, Victor!

Victor and I collaborated on painting an accent wall for my daughter’s nursery. It was an intricate design that required many layers of painters tape, precise measurements, and 2 trips to the paint store but the end result was fabulous. Wish he did wallpaper but might just do another custom design instead.

I recently contracted with Elfralie LLC to repaint my bedroom and the experience was TOP NOTCH from start to finish! Victor was extremely professional, arrival was 9am on the dot. He not only offered sound decorative suggestions, he voluntarily fixed my broken bedroom door and completed a complex assignment with time to spare. When I returned to inspect, the room had been beautifully cleaned and furniture returned to its original state. I plan to work with Elfralie again in the near future and highly recommend him to those who want great work, at a reasonable price! We will be booking Victor to paint another room in our house soon!

Victor came by right away to give me an estimate, and after showing him what I needed painted (and repaired; there was a lot of plaster damage) I nervously asked how much he thought it would cost and then stupidly blurted out how much I was willing to pay! I’m terrible in any situations involving negotiation and had read online (on some kind of e-​how calculator thing) that the square footage I needed painted would cost me $ 1,500. I’d been saving for months.
When I told Victor that he laughed and explained it would be more like $ 400 + materials. I mention this only because he could have easily gotten an extra $ 1,100 out of me and he didn’t. He’s a very honest person, which is rare in New York, AND he’s a swift and talented painter. We scheduled the work for that weekend and he was in and out in a single Saturday morning/​afternoon. I’d recommend his services to anyone who needs anything painted, but especially to people who don’t know anything about home repair, are nervous about dealing with contractors, or who are worried that they can’t afford a painter because they went on eHow, like I did!
VICTOR ROCKS! ASK FOR VICTOR!

Best painter ever! Victor is kind, professional, hard working and provides all this at a very reasonable price. He was an absolute gem to work with. What I liked the most was he focused on making sure we are happy with the job. He was in our team, he gave ideas to make our project beautiful even if that meant more work for him or redoing what he did. In the end he left us more than satisfied with beautiful design paint work on our walls which we will cherish for long time.
He does his work diligently — no spillover, no dust — all done very professionally. With his kind of talent and professionalism Victor can do anything, but right now he is doing painting so i know who to call next time I need some paint work! Highly recommended

Victor is extremely kind, professional, and flexible.
My roommate and I contracted him to paint both of our rooms in our new apartment, and he did a fantastic job on both. He brought all supplies with him (all we needed to supply were the paint cans). He lined the walls with painters tape and plastic and sanded the walls to even out any imperfections before he began. Victor made it a priority that we were pleased with the final result, and we were. We plan on contracting him again next week to paint more rooms in our apartment!
Highly recommended.
