Excellent painter, spackler, carpenter and all around nice guy. Cannot recommend highly enough. Skimmed coated and painted my entire house. I am very picky and hard to, please when it comes to home improvements. Tony is more of a perfectionist than me. You will not be sorry if you hire him. He also wallpapers and does faux painting.
