Italian Painting Services

Stefano is the best. Always reliable, always there if you have a problem or question. Would recommend him to anyone for any paint job.

I called Stefano for an estimate and he was in the neighborhood so he came over in 10 minutes! He gave me a fair estimate for the work so we booked a time to start the job. Javier spent three days painting and I was very pleased with the work done. He was also very polite and made sure I was completely happy before he left. Stefano even came back to inspect the work to also make sure I was happy. I can definitely recommend Italian Painting Services and I will have them back again when I need more work done. Five stars!

Who else would you go to but an Italian if you needed an artist? Stefano is a master! I’ve never seen anyone who is as much a perfectionist as he is. He spends more time on his prep than most painters spend on the entire project. He knows and understand colors better than any painter I’ve ever hired. Everything he does must be perfect. He takes such care and pride when he does a job, it’s like he’s painting his own house. Our kitchen is a masterpiece, thanks to Stefano.

I was in NJ on a Saturday afternoon and needed to get a painter to give me an estimate in CA on Tuesday to paint the condo we had purchased. I located Italian Painting Services online and spoke to Stefano. He said it would be no problem, not to worry, he would meet my realtors at the condo whenever needed. So, right off the bat, I could see he was committed to customer service. His estimate was very fair and his reviews were great and so we contracted with him to paint our condo. He and his team are totally professional and did an excellent job. We then realized we needed to have the kitchen cabinets painted and Stefano did that as well and did a beautiful job. Other things came up and Stefano said he could do those things as well. He even offered to come back and touch up anything needed after we moved in! (No other painter has ever mentioned something like that to us.) He is a very personable individual and a pleasure to work with. I am extremely glad that I chose Italian Painting Services and wouldn’t think of calling anyone else for any future painting needs.

Evidence Based Review: I emailed and corresponded with Stefano Lucifora. We set up an appointment to meet on Sunday 4÷10÷16. Mr. Lucifora arrived at my home on time with his father, who was visiting from Italy. The two men walked around our home. I explained the work we needed to have completed. My review is based on the fact that I scheduled an appointment, meet with Mr. Lucifora, and Mr. Lucifora has not contacted me with a quote or estimate for the work requested. I wasted my time on a Sunday to have his company come to my home for an inspection to complete work. I believe this is very unprofessional, why should it be alright to waste someones time, if you are too busy, or if you are only looking to complete certain jobs, please specify this information on Unilocal,or in your correspondences with the potential customer.
Honesty is the best policy. It does not take 7 plus days to write up a quote.

This team is highly skilled, highly professional, generous and communicative. Stefano is confident in his team (we had Javier and Alan paint our place) because they are fantastic and Stefano takes pride in his training process. We were updated with the progress each day via text and with pictures. This team delivered on the contract beautifully. Stefano has a passion for painting and that’s how you know it’s gonna turn out well. I trusted the other phenomenal Unilocal reviews and was delighted with the outcome.

This company literally saved us from a nightmare tenant situation. They came and painted our entire 3 bedroom house rental on a Saturday (we called them on Friday in a panic) after we finally got rid of tenant who messed up all the walls in just one year! Stefano and his team did a beautiful transformation the very next day so a new tenant could move right in — saving us thousands in rent. I wouldn’t think of using another company.

I spent a great deal of time researching companies to refinish my kitchen and bathroom cabinets. They were painted over 15 years ago, and were definitely in need of a face lift. I found several companies and asked for bids, with a couple following through and a majority not returning my telephone call. Still not completely happy with the businesses that did respond, I finally put in a call to Italian Painting Services. Stefano, the owner, answered the phone himself, and I was immediately impressed with his enthusiasm for his work. After quickly receiving a reasonable price, Stefano and team got to work. They are so professional, respectful, timely, and pleasant. Stefano kept me updated daily as to the progress they made and the expected completion date. Their work was perfection, and they completed the job on the date promised. They did such a fantastic job, that my very-​particular husband had them paint the outside of our house also. I wholeheartedly recommend them.

I can’t say enough positive things about the Italian Painting Services. Stefano and his crew painted our Living Room, Entry Hall, Dining Room, Hall, and one Bathroom. We have an older home that required some additional preparation and plaster repair along with painting techniques to accuentuate the architectural features. The crew was professional, very neat, talented painters, and very respectful of our property. I would not hesitate to recommend the Italian Painting Services for any painting needs. We selected this painting service from Unilocal due to the excellent reviews, and they did not disappoint!

Italian Painting Service. I am a carpenter in Los Angeles and work with meany different tradesmen. My experience of working with Stefano has been great. He is a reliable painter that I refer regularly. If you are looking to have things done right with as little trouble as possible, Italian Painting Services is the way to go.

I can’t say enough good things about Stefano/​Italian Painting Services. He is professional, friendly, talented, aesthetically aware, timely, communicative, thoughtful and the list goes on. He is just finishing up painting the outside of my house and I am ready for him to start on doing things on the inside. Amazing.

Stefano and his team did an amazing job on my painting my kitchen cabinets. My 20+ year cabinets look like new and I am very pleased. Stefano was reliable and honest. He answered all my questions and delivered on his promises. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a high quality paint job.

First Unilocal review ever.
Stefano and his guys refinished our kitchen cabinets that were peeling and chipped due to a very poor previous original job.
The work was top notch and showed a very meticulous approach and great attention to detail. We were so pleased with the kitchen results that we had Italian Painting Services paint the complete exterior of our two story home.
Again the result were great and we would use Stefanos companies services for other painting needs. Lastly we got to know Stefano a bit and strikes us a someone that is out to do a great job and to always exceed a customers expectations. So IPS keep up the great work

Meticulous, professional and caring. Stefano and his crew painted our kitchen cabinets enamel white and they are flawless. Would not hesitate to recommend him for any painting needs.

Stefano was such a pleasure to work with. He sprayed our front door a fire engine red and it looks beautiful. Hi rates are reasonable but his work ethics are fantastic!!! Look forward to having him paint the entire house.

My husband and I loved our cherry red media console we bought a handful of years ago. But as our decorating style changed in brighter color schemes, our dark console was more and more out of place. Not wanting to give up our console (the functionality is perfect), I searched online for a skilled furniture painter and found Stefano.
Stefano was amazing in giving us details on what would need to be done to get a new color, he gave us a great rate and kept us up to date on the progress of our piece. While it did take a teensy bit longer to get the console done, I can tell that Stefano was very detailed in his work and took his time to make sure it was done not quickly but WELL.
When I saw the end result, I told my husband that I did not like the work, I LOVED it. Stefano was so amazing and I would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone and I would call him again in two seconds the instant I decide I want to change up a piece I can’t live without. Thanks Stefano!

Well, where to begin? For starters, there aren’t enough categories on the Unilocal review for me to check off how great a job Stefano and his team did.
After reading the Unilocal reviews to have my old kitchen cabinets painted, I called Stefano for a quote. He returned the call immediately and he showed up the next day for a quote. He not only came in the lowest, his product sample and confidence won my bid.
Stephano is very busy, but for a reason. His work is professional, well-​prepped, punctual, and absolutely perfect. I could not be happier.
It took his two (fabulous) guys, two full days to prep and disassemble every cabinet and drawer. They then sanded and cautiously calked every imperfection in my 20 year old oak cabinets. Stefano sprays the cabinets with a paint sprayer used for cars. It comes out perfect. I had a change of color at the last min and he was gracious.
Can’t say enough about this team and their product. Look no further. Hire them.

Absolutely excellent service. Very honest, ready to help, great service, GREAT WORK, and Stefano values Customer Satisfaction immensely. I will absolutely use him again for our exterior house paint. We did an entire-​home repainting job and we are extremely satisfied. Thank you so much, Stefano. You are a life saver!

Stefano and his crew are the best painters we know, tirelessly perfectionist in every detail, very reasonably priced, honest, considerate and truly charming. We’ve called on them three or four times and would never go to anyone else. They are the best!

We had our 1917 Craftsman exterior painted — a big job with our redwood siding and trellises. Fair price, excellent workmanship, friendly, considerate customer service. I would definitely use them for any other painting work we might need.

Stefano did a fantastic job. We will only be using him for our house in Los Angeles from now on. Cannot recommend highly enough!!!

I’m a perfectionist and these guys are meticulous. Add clean, competent, kind, caring, fair, timely and professional to it and that is how I’d describe Italian Painting Services. They just finished painting the exterior of my house and I must say it looks real ****ing good. Talk to Stefano, he’ll take care of you. But beware, he’s also quite charming.
Thank you IPS

I can’t say enough about Stefano and Italian Painting Services. Stefano and his team painted our kitchen cabinets, wood trim, and doors white from a light wood stain. It was a big job, but it was done quickly, efficiently, and beautifully! Not only is Stefano extremely professional, available, communicative and talented… He is also a wonderful person who is very sweet, considerate and thoughtful. I am pregnant and he was very sensitive to that issue in terms of keeping things perfectly sealed off and making sure that I wasn’t home during painting. He even made sure the rest of the house was well ventilated. As if that isn’t enough… Stefano is also a major dog lover and went out of his way to give our little furry baby some TLC. He even offered to talk him for walks while I was working!!!
Bottom line: Stefano and Italian Painting Services are AMAZING. We will definitely ask them to do any future projects. This was a wonderful experience. Thank you!!!
Update: My Dad is visiting, and he can’t stop raving about what a beautiful painting job Italian Painting Services did in our kitchen. He seriously won’t stop touching the cabinets and door frames and talking about how nice they are!

I am so happy with the job Stefano and Oscar did for us! They painted the walls in a couple of rooms, cabinets in the bathroom, powder room and kitchen, and it all came out really nice. I especially have to mention my kitchen which I now love. It went from being dark, heavy and traditional, to light and modern, all thanks to the job done by Stefano and his team. They are all very polite, clean, professional, and they really care about the quality of their job. I would highly recommend them! And if we ever have any more paint work we need to do around our place, I will for sure use them again!

Italian painting services painted the outside of my business on Santa Monica Blvd in Hollywood and did an exceptional job. The owner, Stefano was very accommodating to my ever changing requests and was extremely reasonable on change order pricing. (Which is a relief compared to most contractors). Stefano is very detail oriented and meticulous. He also had great suggestions that I decided to incorporate into my job and went as far as to do some extra work for free. All in all, another very satisfied customer who would refer him, even to my mother. Thanks Italian painting services for making my business look fantastic!

In summary, Italian Painting Services does very high quality work at very competitive prices. The owner and his crew are highly professional, detail-​oriented, and they simply produce great results (my wife loves it, so what more can I ask for?)
In December 2013, we reached out to these guys for a full interior repaint, as they were one of several top-​rated painting contractors here on Unilocal.We also contacted and received bids from two other contractors as well as a «fly-​by-​night» (unlicensed) crew.
What clearly separated this team from the others were the price and the quote. Their quote came the evening of our walk-​through and clearly outlined everything that would be done and what would not be done. It went into the prep-​work, the paint being used, number of coats, etc… This attention of detail grabbed our attention before we even handed them a dime (omg did I just spoil the story about which contractor we chose? Oh, wait.)
After receiving the rest of the quotes from other contractors, we threw out the high quote, and everyone else came in within two-​hundred dollars (even the non-​licensed painting crew). At this point, it was very clear which painter we should choose (insert hindsight clip of knight saying, «you chose… wisely»).
Anyway, skipping to the end, the IPS guys completed their work for us just a few weeks ago, and my wife and I are so incredibly impressed with their work. I guess it’s the small things that really impress me; the homeless guys around here know you shouldn’t paint without removing switch plates and hardware, but how many houses have you been in where the painters thought they are so badass at «cutting» that they don’t need to bother (turns out they are badass at cutting corners… On the other hand, if you go with those kinds of painters, you get a free paint job on your screws, switches, and electrical outlets! BONUS!)
Anyway, this crew takes the time to do things right and it shows. Our door handles aren’t painted (well, no more so than after the last painters that the previous owners hired)…and the sheen on the doors and trim makes every entry way look like you’re opening a door to heaven (well, doorways to heavenly bathrooms in our case). Gone are the brush strokes from previous paint jobs as are any signs of excess paint and drips. All the touch-​ups in the walls (filled holes from artwork hangers)…it’s nigh-​impossible to even see where those formerly were.
Finally, the communication is very good and some of the most professional in my experience with contractors. We are all familiar when jobs take longer or experience delays, but they did a great job of keeping us in the loop if something would be delayed or something needed to be rescheduled.
In summary, we are 110% satisfied with this team’s work, their work ethic, communication, and attention to detail…

Very good job. Very clean and pretty fast. The price was reasonable and I would definitely use them for another job.

We all know how stressful it is to move into a new place, especially if it is a brand new place of your own. I have been stressing out about my move, especially since the time I have until my current lease ends is quickly slipping away. And of course, my tremendous procrastinating skill is only overwhelming me a whole lot more!
So, I had about a week to find a painting service and have my entire loft painted. As a painting noob, all this would consist of doing some research to get an idea of different painting services available, contacting them and making appointments with them to get a cost estimate, scheduling for a time with hope that it’d be convenient and suitable, while keeping in mind the painting service’s quality, as well as abiding by the building’s rules and regulations. Indeed, as with other services, when it comes to choosing the right one, it always boils down to balancing cost, quality, and timeliness… With that being said, Italian Painting Services definitely hits the bull’s-eye in terms of cost, quality, and timeliness.
In doing my research on Monday, I found a few painting services available around me. Several places I called were not flexible enough to meet and give me a cost estimate on the days I suggested, and in some cases, they seemed a little put off knowing that it was just a loft I needed painted. A guy from one place was able to meet on Wed, but sounded very iffy about being able to complete the job by the end of the week. Finally, Stefano from Italian Painting Services called me back and was willing to meet and give me an estimate that same day, even though it was pretty late in the day.
The first thing I noticed was definitely the passion he has for his work. I felt comfortable taking his advice in terms of the procedures recommended to freshen up the walls. He actually advised me not to have the laundry room (with closet space) painted since it would be a waste as the room would be inundated with my mountain of clothes and shoes — so he didn’t give me the impression that he was trying to make a profit. Oh, and the ugly shower curtain the previous owner had kindly left me «MUST GO» lol. Very true indeed.
When Stefano gave me a better estimate and said he could complete the job before the end of the week, I agreed and canceled the other estimate appointments. Quite frankly, I did not feel the dreaded pressure to sign the contract at all. Also, he is a Certified Environmental Protection Agent — perfect for my green residential building! The week flew by as we met again two days later to choose colors. Two days later and voila! — the entire job was completed flawlessly in less than a day. Love the clean and refreshing new look — it’s like a little facelift for my loft before I finally move in!
Thank you, Italian Painting Services, for saving me from getting high blood pressure under such a stressful moving situation!
Oh, and I love the smell of fresh paint lol.
