Hire this company! After being caught in a horrific situation with a previous general contractor, Nick Slavik Painting & Restoration Co. restored our faith in human decency! They helped us find a new contractor for carpentry—supporting us every step of the way. They were patient, communicative, professional, and trustworthy. Ian, Kelly, Jose, and their team knocked it out of the park and went above and beyond to take care of us! Their decency and expertise was JUST what we needed to finish restoration of our 116yr old home’s original cedar lap siding. These are the knowledgeable people you want working on your project.Posted on Laura NarhiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

From Ian (project estimator) to Kelly (project coordinator) to Hayden (painter), their expertise and guidance was incredible. Loved working with Hayden -- his suggestions, talent, and professionalism really shone in his work. Thank you!
