Natik Painting

We hired Natik to repair walls and repaint the majority (woodwork, doors, ceiling, walls) of our >130 year old home in Streetsville, and paint/refinish our kitchen cabinets (5 days of work with 3 people, 1 day with 4, and 1 day with 2). We met with 3 companies before hiring them, and for a great price, it was clear that Natik was going to do the job right (remove wallpaper where needed and in all of the principal rooms rather than just try to seal it all with oil based primer and paint). We first met with Tony who did a thorough walkthrough and gave us a quote the day after we first spoke on the phone. He and Natalie returned the next day (on a Sunday) to also meet with my wife and discuss colours and other options. They began work at 9am the next day.

The scope of the work included stripping 3 and sometimes 4 layers of wallpaper from large, high walls and even ceilings in some rooms; extensive repairing of plaster and lath, and painting. On one bedroom ceiling they were able to repair otherwise nice textured paint/plaster with water damage very well while the other companies we inquired with said it could not be done. In the main hallways and living room they also used a glaze finishing effect, which looks fantastic (subtle and much cleaner than wallpaper but still smoothed out any unevenness of the old plaster). They consulted with us about every decision and had great ideas about colours and design. In one room they didn’t like how the colour looked from the previous evening and repainted it (we would have been fine with it)! In other cases after a room was painted they would see uneven spots and re-plaster and paint until they were happy with it. They really respected the age and style of our house and did not leave until everything was to both their satisfaction and ours.

On a personal note, we felt exceptionally comfortable with them in and out of our house for more than 1 week- they are a respectful, polite, and sharp team and excellent at their work. They also take a great deal of pride from a job well done. Great work Natalie, Tony, and Stephen! We will recommend you widely.
