Great Painter

Website shouts lack of care for the details. Two testimonials??? And horrible photos that show me nothing beyond what a high school kid in trouble couldn't do. What sort of painters wear hard hats??

I would like to add Michelangelo, Titian, and Caravaggio to that list.

Have you seen their ceilings?

Abstract expressionists

The guy painted Lloyd Blankfein's house in Sagaponack. Enough said.

LICC

real estate agent-AgentRachel
accountant-stevejhx

BonacStyle - are you trying to bury this guy or promote him?

I guess you could look at it either way with Blankfein. Bottom line is, this guy worked in the family business for his father in the Hamptons , doing high end work for years. Now runs his own shop in NYC. Just putting out a rec - shoulda known , beware of the wolves on this forum! LOL.

If my criticisms seem unjustified I do apologize, but many well regarded tradespeople fail to realize the importance of putting forth a professional image on a website.

I was replying to the query "What sort of painters wear hard hats??"

I apologize if I caused undue confusion, and hope you can find it in your hart to forgive me.

Michelangelo, Titian, and Caravaggio -- my bad.

What about Caravaggio?

spin, very true, but unless they're in the web design business I usually give them a pass if they otherwise seem okay. It's a lot of work maintaining a website and many small businesses don't have the (wo)manpower to keep after it. I speak from experience managing my own small business website.

@BonacStyle-sorry for the snark. the mention of Blankfein, and the website that didn't meet my overly critical standards felt like an opportunity that I couldn't resist. also many tradespeople (contractors, real estate agents, mortgage brokers) seem to view SE as a venue to loudly shill their services without offering any useful advice and are usually heckled off the site. of course, others in the same trades are valued contributers.

FWIW, a guy did a fantastic job renovating my parents' kitchen and came highly reccomended (unfortunately not in NY), but maintains only a rudimentary website. maybe your guy is the same.
