Vinny Ciambriello: House Painter


718.638.1083

6-14-housepainter.jpgVinny Ciambriello has been an Apartment Therapy go-to painter on small jobs for a number of years. A musician by night, he paints by day and does a great job with clean walls. Exacting about the finish, Vinnie works alone, so he is a good choice for painting one to three rooms of a smaller apartment. This is how he puts it:

I'm a demon for precise completion. Details become ingrained in my head so that by the time I leave, not one of them has been overlooked.

Problems? If your walls need a lot of repair work with plaster, Vinny is not your man, he does do some, but a straight ahead paint job is right up his alley. Available for estimates, Vinny can often give you a price over the phone.

Thanks for this recommendation! I am going to need someone to paint over the high Tequila Lime green ceiling in my apartment when I move out. I painted it when I moved in, first time doing a ceiling for me, and I swear I will NEVER paint a high ceiling again. (And yes, I have just been waiting for the October "color" contest.)

Vinny did a beautiful job painting our Manhattan apartment this past fall (2005). Meticulous work, very reasonable fee, and very good about working within our timeframe. Absolutely no complaints!

Vinny did a thorough and meticulous job on my 3 room apt.. I especially appreciated that he took no shortcuts- priming the entire apartment, full double coats everywhere, and attention to all the trim and moldings. Vinny is true old-world craftsman- (the 'old world' being Howard Beach, Queens)..

Vinny did a great job on our two bedroom floor-through.

His rate is reasonable (in fact, I think he under-pays himself). He came in on short notice when our previous painter fell through, and we had a tight window to complete the job before our move-in date. It was all sheet-rock, plaster, and unfinished wood for frames and doors. We needed ceiling, walls, molding, caulking, the works- primed and painted. He pulled in another painter to help him and even worked the weekend to make our move in date. All that, and he didn't cut corners. A perfectionist who takes pride in his work.

Thank you, A.T., for referring him.

Vinny did a great job - he painted two bedrooms for me and it was done in two days, including priming and trim. I highly recommend him.

Just doing a spot of ego-searching. You share the Ciambriello surname. Any ideas as to where in Italy it comes from? Mail me.
