We had purchased our first condo but hated the interior colors. Steve gave us a really good quote and was understanding of the fact that we were dealing with major wedding expenses. He took care of everything from start to finish. He was very respectful, professional and an honest human being! I would hire him for any future projects!

I previously painted my condo myself and was unhappy with the colour and the small imperfections that go along with diy jobs. I found Kara Painting while Googling on the streetcar and gave them a call. Steve came and gave me a very reasonable quote and picked a neutral, problem free grey for me. He also suggested going with flat rather than eggshell. I was a little uncertain about the colour and sheen but trusted Steve's experience and did he ever come through. Steve painted yesterday and it it looks stunning. Perfect colour and I love the flat. Steve even fixed some of my flaws as he went. I am so pleased with the results. The job is flawless. Thanks so much Steve. Can't wait till you do the bedroom.

GREAT JOB, very pleased with KARA PAINTING, extremely neat, detailed, and maticulous work. So pleased we went with this company over all the other choices we had, as they would not have given us this standard of work. Steve the painter even noticed inperfections from the previous work done and fixed it. This company is professional and precise. Would highly recommend this company and plan to use it again in the future. Thank you Kara Painting for making our home look STUNNING!!!

Steve shows up on time and works very meticulously. He can work in small spaces without complaint and leaves everything clean and tidy. He's the only painter I will ever use as I have total peace of mind knowing it will be a perfect job.

Steve has just finished painting the basement, which involved a lot of difficult custom cabinetry. He did a wonderful job. What was particularly impressive was how methodically he tackled the task: from the careful way he covered the new tile floor and the fixtures, to the order in which he tackled the cabinetry, to the way he painted. It took him longer--some days were just half-days--but the results were spectacular. He's really attentive to detail, and was good at drawing attention beforehand to tricky little decisions (and at making those decisions when we couldn't). Steve's also really courteous and reliable. He arrived every morning not just at 8 but before 8, and waitied outside in his truck until it was exactly 0800h. He responded quickly to messages, and was good at giving me heads-ups about what to anticipate. He left the basement utterly clean. And he took and remembered to send me these great photos! What more can you ask? This was the second time Steve worked on the house, and we'll certainly have him again. It's been fun reading the reviews that are already here and being able to add to them. Thanks, Steve!

Company Response:

Thanks for the review Carol, I'm glad you liked the work. Those built in cabinets were very tedious. I ended up spraying the units in three different sections rather than painting them with a brush and roller which slowed down the progress a couple of days and made for a few half days. I didn't mind working an extra couple of days to ensure the best possible finish. In the end the spray finish always beats brush and roller. Thanks again, Steve Karakostas

We are very satisfied with the job Steve did in our first and second home. The colors are just perfect and gave our homes the cozy and warm feeling we were looking for. Steve is professional, honest, reasonable and very meticulous with his work. We would most definitely recommend Kara Painting to family, friends and to those viewing these reviews.

Steve, of Kara Painting, has been excellent right from the first quote, through the communication leading up to the scheduling of the job. We are really pleased with the quality of the work and will definitely have Steve return for further work at our home.

I was very happy with the job Steve did. He was patient when we needed to change my initial choice of colour. He arrived on time every day and cleaned up after he was done. The paint job looks great! I would highly recommend Kara painting!

Kara Painting Did the Painting for our kitchen reno. Steve was meticulous and detailed oriented . Steve was very helpful in our colour choices and even told us what lightbulb colour was better for our kitchen. We will ues Kara painting for our next paint project and I would not hesitate to recommend Steve to anyone !! Joanne & Peter Thornhill Ont July 9 2011

Steve (Steve Karakostas) and his colleges at Kara painting were professional and friendly right from the start. Steve came to my condo and gave me a very reasonable flat rate quote. Kara Painting crew was always on time, tidy, and courteous. They also did the work quickly, but seemingly not at the expense of quality of the job. Steve meticulously removed electrical wall plates, door knobs etc before painting and covered them well. He left the condo without any drops of paint splatter. I had Steve to come and do the final coat of painting after the hardwood floor installation and he was very helpful and flexible - he had to repaint the whole trims all over again and he did a splendid job! At the end he labelled gave me touch up paints with a warranty for his job. I’m very satisfied, and highly recommended Steve and his team.
