Raphael & his team were lovely! They were kind and easy to work with.They went above and beyond, completing a complex job in two full days. There was a hiccup in scheduling but he more than made up for it for how quickly they got the job done. I am very happy with the work, communication, and even cleanup! I will 100% be referring everyone to this company! Thank you for all the hard work guys.
I had my outdoor decks repainted and they were professional and did a great job. I would use them again in the future. I highly recommend their company
Rafael was in constant contact with with me because my small job was to have my front steps and back deck painted. Rafael does his large jobs during the week and smaller ones on the weekends . Anyone remember what the weekend weather has been for the last few weeks? Rain, rain and more rain. Finally , last Saturday he sent one of his employees , Pedro ,who was very professional, and respectful of my things . Took all the furniture off my deck , sanded and painted. Rafael was in touch with Pedro and myself during the two hour time frame. Great job , I would use this company again and have already sent them a referral. Kathleen Conway
Rafael from Meyropolitan plastering and painting is great to work with and has good communication and management skills. His team did a great job in painting exterior of our house and fixing/replacing all wood trims, clapboards etc. Pedro is a great carpenter who works patiently to ensure all wood is taken care of and both painters covered all details. All are easy to work with and ensured to leave property clean as expected. Thank you Rafael and team. Will certainly reach out for future projects.
