NYC Painting Contractors

In 12 years of living in NYC, I have dealt with my fair share of shady, flaky, and/​or unreliable contractors (including a few of the highest rated painters on Unilocal that I won’t name, who never got me an estimate despite several days of corresponding). NOT THE CASE WITH MEZ!
From the beginning, Mez was AMAZING.
Mez was quick to respond to my online quote request, and was at my apartment the next day for an estimate. I am prepping my studio apartment for sale, and am working against the clock… further complicated by the fact that I live in a co-​op! Mez gathered the necessary paperwork for my building quickly, and we were able to start painting within days.
I am now sitting in my freshly-​painted apartment and everything looks great! In addition to the walls, Mez also helped me get some ink stains out of my floors (a gift from a fight between my Puggle and a blue pen), which saved me thousands in refinishing costs. He and his team went above and beyond, putting in a few extra touches (gratis!) to make sure my place is in tip top shape.
Throughout every step of the process, he was super professional, communicative, and most importantly, friendly! I have honestly never had a more positive and painless experience working with MOST people, let alone a contractor, and I am NOT easy to impress. Could not recommend Mez and NYC Painting Contractors more.
Thank you Mez!!!

This is my first Unilocal review, but I had to post one about Mez Diamond because he is wonderful. I used Mez’s service to paint a 2 bedroom apt in Murray Hill. From start to finish, Mez was fantastic, professional and honest. I completed an online form in order to obtain a quote. Mez called me back promptly. I explained my situation and that I needed someone to paint the next day, and he accommodated my schedule as well as gave me a very fair quote. We were able to settle everything up via phone calls/​texts/​email, which was awesome for me since I am a working mother of two. He completed the job in one day (just as he said he would) and when I went to check out his work, I was extremely pleased. The apt looked beautiful and he left it super clean – no paint spots in floor, etc. I will definitely use Mez again in the future and will recommend him to anyone who needs a professional painter.

I rarely post reviews, but I had such an extraordinary experience with Mez Diamond and his team that I felt I had to speak out. I was moving into a 1936 Brooklyn Heights apartment with loads of beautiful period detail — a foyer, 14-​foot ceilings, arched doorways, original crown molding, and stunning original hardwood floors that needed to be well protected. So I needed an expert painter with both an exceptional artistic sensibility and the reliability and dependability to get the job done on time for my move-​in, and without damaging anything or annoying my new neighbors. From the moment I spoke with Mez on the phone, his passion for paint and for quality work was immediately clear, and even from that auspicious start he exceeded my high standards and expectations. Not only was his bid fair and clear with no hidden costs, but he was polite, clear, warm, efficient and well prepared, and was a great collaborator on handling some of the trickier painting challenges that the apartment presented. He noticed the tiniest things — that two of the doors lacked door stops, that one one of the windows needed handles — and after checking with me, he bought and replaced them. He communicated with me daily about the progress of the job, encouraged my feedback, and completed the job on time and on budget. Above all, the work is breathtaking. Every edge is razor sharp, every surface flawless. It’s stunning. Plus, he’s one of the nicest guys you’ll ever have the pleasure of working with. I simply could not be happier, and recommend him without hesitation or qualification. He’s the very best. Period.
