"I had three rooms, a stair well and hallway painted. My house is 98 years old. The woodwork was worn, under several bad paint jobs and an accumulation of drips, ridges, and poorly bonded layers. The plaster of the walls was uneven, due to age and settling, poor plastering over drywall repairs and a few places where the plaster detached from the lathe. It needed more than a “light sand and paint,” which was all most of the 8 or so painters I interviewed were willing to do. This house needed an intervention. After two interviews, Apostoli understood the conditions of the house, what I wanted done, and was willing to do all the prep work that would be necessary. But his team didn’t just run with it. They paused and had me review their work a few times in the first days to clarify what I wanted. After that, they would ask for my review of each room as it was finished. I’m a perfectionist about painting and had painted some of the house myself so I knew how much work was involved and, in some cases, how I wanted it done. Apostoli and his crew were very patient and listened to my sometimes detailed instructions and concerns. They did a lot of scraping, sanding, priming, filling — a lot of filling — caulking and finally sanding down the woodwork to flat and smooth surfaces. They did a lot of patching and skim coating of the plaster walls and ceilings. They discovered the plaster of three ceilings had detached from the lathe and replaced them. The crew, Craig, DJ, and Kareem, were great to work with. They were congenial and took pride in their work. They were respectful of our property and privacy. I felt comfortable having them in my home. They showed up every day until the project was finished. They worked steadily from 8 when they arrived, took a lunch, and continued working until they left, often at 5:30 or 6. They sealed the doorway of each room with plastic to contain most of the dust. They cleaned up at the end of every work day, gathered their equipment in one place, and swept and vacuumed the work area. They were open to requests, took corrections well and asked questions if they were in doubt. They reserved the last day for touch ups that they had flagged as they worked. I removed all hardware to protect it and facilitate the sanding and painting. At their request I created a detailed list of all paints and where they were to be applied which they followed flawlessly. You might want to drape furniture in the rest of the house for dust and have them cover the path from the entrance of the house to the work area with paper taped to the floor. If you have any chemical sensitivity, you should talk with them up front as some of the fillers and primers they use have a strong smell. The results exceeded my expectations. The plaster of the walls and ceilings is now smooth and looks like new. The woodwork has flat surfaces, smooth curves and sharper detail. What had appeared as an old, worn and neglected interior now looks bright and well-maintained."

"New Era Pro did everything right; good communication, right pricepoint, attention to detail and quality, overall great value."

"We had an outdated popcorn ceiling and paneling in our library that Rob and Andy transformed into a modern, light filled room. Their work is meticulous, with great attention to detail. They also replaced drywall damaged by water, made our old garage door look like new, repaired rotted wood on our portico, repaired ceiling and wall damage from a leak in our bedroom, replaced rotted crown moulding on a garden shed, and painted our living room with lots of wood trim. This is the 3rd time we hired Rob so now our entire home is free of wallpaper and looks brand new! Communication is excellent, they arrive on time, and finish the job in a timely manner. Highly recommended!!"

"The sun room was built to appear original to our 1925 colonial revival house - with lots of wood moulding. It included 12 new Andersen casement windows that needed to painted on the inside and along all four sides, their interior removable grills, and 2 french doors with 15 panes each. Chuck primed and painted the interior and exterior, excluding the exterior of the windows which were aluminum clad. I'm fussy about painting and Chuck was wiling to discuss his approach with me beforehand in detail. He was easy to work with and accommodating. I have no doubt Chuck could work speedy if that's what you want, but I made it clear that craftsmanship was more important to me than time and he took the time necessary to do everything right, and to my specifications. There were many places inside and out where he had to edge against stone, natural wood and tile. I'm very happy with his work. As you can see in the pictures, he did a beautiful job with everything."

"They were excellent. Estimate was reasonable. Work was done immediately. I was impressed with their business manner."
