From choosing the right color paint to meticulous preparation with removal of hardware, taping around beams & windows & putting everything back(doors, molding, hardware etc.) > > On time early each morning...working all day until finished in a timely manner. Very pleasant to work with > Bill & all his co-workers. Very professional! > > He will be power washing for me my deck & house & painting & staining in the Spring. > > Highly recommend! **Comment from Linke's Painting to Wallcoverings:** > Thank you Judy, it's been our pleasure to be of service working with you, and restoring those rooms back to beautiful spaces. **★★★★★ — KVF, May 2022** > I cannot recommend Linke's Painting highly enough. Bill and his team painted our entire house, and papered two rooms. We have a lot of molding, and unconventional configurations requiring care and good judgement, and Bill has each in abundance. We also used fine wallpaper from the UK, and Bill's craftsmanship and attention to detail was impeccable. Our house has a great many windows and woodwork, and some trim was high contrast; also, the was not entirely empty while Bill and his colleagues were working. They took painstaking care with their work, and our belongings - communicating clearly and efficiently, cleaning up beautifully, working efficiently without ever cutting corners, patiently returning for touch ups and punch list items. Everyone was kind and helpful; we will use them again, and recommend them without hesitation. **★★★★★ — Donna Civitello, Nov. 2019** > This review is long overdue. Bill Linke was highly recommended by friends, and my husband and I are very happy that we followed their advice. We contracted with him to paint our large home, a challenging and difficult job. At his initial visit, he walked around the entire house with us, pointing out what repairs should be made prior to painting. When he sent his estimate, he gave us a tentative start date and estimated duration of work to complete the job, approximately six weeks. His crew showed up on schedule, and the job took slightly over six weeks, only because his crew discovered areas of wood rot that were under the two-story roof-line, requiring additional repairs. The estimate was accurate. Bill was there painting and supervising most days. There was never a day, unless it was raining, that he didn't have someone working on our house. I cannot emphasize enough how professional, considerate and delightful every single person working on the job was. Long-time employees, they were meticulous in their work. They were incredibly neat, and cleaned everything up at the end of every day. Our home is surrounded by gardens, many of which border the house. The painters left not a speck of paint nor dust in the beds, despite having to sand most of the house. Our plantings were undamaged. We appreciated Bill's advice on color choices - he has a wonderful eye for color. We are looking forward to having him return this winter for interior painting and window repairs. Our house is beautiful now! **★★★★★ — Susan Segal, Nov. 2017** > Linke's Painting to Wallcoverings and Bill Linke are amazing. They went well beyond just painting my 5600 square foot house. Bill helped select the colors and the color coordination. He also advised on other construction and decoration decisions in the house. The job was completed on time and on budget both very important. The work was flawless and he is always available for touch ups. I live in NYC and have contracted several painters over the years in NYC and Westchester County but i have never encountered better quality work and service than i found with Bill . I recommend him enthusiastically and without reservation to anyone and everyone. I am even trying to figure out how to get him to come to NYC to work on my apt. **★★★★★ — Linda West, April 2017** > Bill Linke and his crew are more than top of the line house painters. They are knowledgeable in the “proper” way to fix those ceiling lumps, wall cracks, wooden panels, stuck doors, etc. Then Bill will surprise you with his artistic sense of colors while making sure the client’s needs are met. I could not be happier with the superb job they did in making my house look beautiful and new again! Linke Painting is an extremely professional, skilled and ethical contractor to work with. They delivered quality work on time and within budget. **★★★★★ — Beth Parks, Nov. 2016** > Bill was very professional, neat, and was very proficient with different types of paper. I had grasscloth installed and could not be happier with the results. Do not hesitate to contact him. **★★★★★ — Anne A, Oct. 2016** > I was very pleased with the work completed by Linke's Painting. They did an excellent job painting my cabinets in the kitchen and removing wall paper and painting the dining room. I would definitely hire them again. **★★★★★ — Barbara Braverman, Sept. 2016** > Bill Linke is a skilled professional, who did a splendid job wall papering and painting our master bathroom. He was meticulous in his preparation and finished within the estimated time frame. It was a pleasure to have such a hard working professional in our home and he was most conscientious in cleaning up after each day's work. **★★★★★ — HU-298913, July 2016** > This was a major kitchen project. I was apprehensive about painting oak cabinets and Bill worked with me from start to finish. He is a master at color selection and I am beyond thrilled with the results. I also had the guys back early this year to do some additional painting. His price was quite competitive and you can't beat the quality of his work. Bill and his crew were professional and courteous. **★★★★★ — SUSAN BISHOP INTERIORS, July 2016** > I am a professional interior designer with a very discerning clientele for forty years. I first met Bill Linke thirty years ago, and he has been my go-to painting contractor ever since. Bill has extremely high standards in terms of his performance and finished product, and in terms of his skilled staff. He has extremely high standards in terms of business practice and professionalism. Bill maintains a very current understanding of painting products and techniques; he is a well-spring of good advice. I have always been proud to introduce Bill Linke to my clients, and they have 100% of the time been extremely pleased with his work. Beside all of this, Bill is a lovely man. ## Selected projects - [Contemporary Pool House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-pool-house-pj-vj~1942278) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Painted Kitchen Cabinets](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/painted-kitchen-cabinets-pj-vj~1869839) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [Country Living](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/country-living-pj-vj~1815491) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Farm House Living Kent CT](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/farm-house-living-kent-ct-pj-vj~1598804) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - Description: Here is a perfect example of a before and after look of how wall coverings bring beauty into spaces that paint alone can't match. The cabinets prior to being refinished were dated dark oak stain. We were able to take doors and drawers off site to apply professional pigmented lacquer.
