Mark Tirondola, Painting Contractor, Inc.

Among the several dozens of contractors we’ve worked with over the years — Mark Tirondola and his crew were one of the best. We had hired them to paint the exterior of our home, but just as many house projects turn out — the scope of the work quickly increased in an effort to check more items off of our to-​do list! From start to finish — the crew maintained a level of professionalism that went well beyond our expectations. They were easy to work with, extremely organized, accommodating, punctual and very detail-​oriented. As a matter of fact, when the job finally did end, were were actually sad to see them go! A true testament to their hard work! They were also excellent at following up and communicating to us the progress that was being made.
If there were ever another project we would need to have done — we would absolutely have Mark and his crew back to do the job. A HUGE thank you to Alfredo, Mauricio, Luis, Jose, Eber, Oscar and all of the other gentleman who worked so hard to complete the project. We absolutely love the end result and will look forward to recommending Mark Tirondola to our neighbors, family and friends!

Congenial, they know their stuff, and their residential Project Manager Alfredo will put you at ease with his professional demeanor and demonstrative grasp of the nuances of not just painting but carpentry, architectural details, foundation repair, construction, remodeling and most importantly: period restoration of old Colonials, Tudors & Victorian homes. Their color specialist Gaby will work with you to select your palette, and Mark will enable you to achieve your goals, whatever your budget might be. I’ve used them for multiple jobs, and their empathetic human touch is what puts their customer driven service over the top. Their expert attention to detail (be it molding or staining interior windows or fixing a plaster wall or constructing custom shelves) is what makes them the Gold Standard in Essex County.

I wait like five years to paint my home because I could never afford the prices of all different companies I called for estimate. Finally a friend told me about this company and I give them a call, they came pretty fast and gave me a good price I was honest with them since the beginning and told them about my money problems they help me out giving me payment flexibility, during the 3 weeks they were here here working they always show on time, they always clean after they finish the day of work, but most of all they were fast and even though they paint during cold months they were very professional with their job, the foreman check them every day which is awesome, now I have a beautiful house and I don’t feel embarrased of my house anymore is the most beautiful of all the block thanks to them, I will always be in debt with Mr. Tirondola for the break he gave me it is something I will never forget in these days is hard to find businesses that cares about personal problems, I was really lucky, I will recomend them to any family or friend I known.

I used this contractor for an exterior painting job on my house, and I loved the outcome. My 1920’s house had original clapboard that was peeling badly and we were considering vinyl siding. After Marks recommendation we went with painting, and we could not be more pleased. The crew was very professional and punctual, and any concerns I had were quickly taken care of. I was concerned about the reviews but we could not be happier. Would recommend to family and friends.

I give this company NO STARS, but I had to register at least 1. I have an home built in 1935, plaster walls. I hired them to paint the entire house, all trim. Within 3 weeks, every piece of trim began cracking. They returned to repair it, very inconvenient, and slapped more paint on. Again, within 3 weeks it cracked again. They did little preparation, and instead just slapped thick paint on. The house looks WORSE then when they started, and I am still in tears. Please, do not hire these painters. They are just terrible.

My husband and I hired this contractor in March to paint the interior of our home based on his name recognition in the area. We readily agreed to pay a significantly higher fee than was quoted by his local competitors, expecting premium service and results.
The job was plagued with problems from the outset. Some of the highlights were flooding in the house on day one, paint smeared on the street in front of our house, a change in project manager without notice to someone with no experience in painting, and touch-​ups needed immediately due to sloppy details and cracking of walls.
Most recently there have been numerous new cracks forming in the walls and after eight un-​returned phone calls we finally had to send a letter threatening legal action. This caught Mr Tirondola’s attention and he came to our house to speak with us for the first time ever. He stormed inside, quickly glanced around and proceeded to angrily explain that he would fix the walls again, but that the cracking is minor and we are high maintenance. He raised his voice to both of us and stepped threateningly close to my husband, all while my 2 year old was sleeping and my newborn was crying in my arms. The experience was truly scary.
Although the quality of Mark Tirondola’s hired painting crews’ work is mostly sufficient, the experience has been painful from start to finish. His business has grown too large to provide quality or courteous service. I would strongly advise going elsewhere
