What Our Clients Say
Testimonials
I own a real estate investment company. I regularly need my apartments to be painted and fixed after each tenant has left. I have used the painters of this company two times for two separate apartments. By their own initiative, they have also done minor repairs of things that needed fixing. They delivered impeccably painted and cleaned apartments. Ms. Morgan is extremely professional and very personable. She follows up the job step by step and has the job finished as promised, on time, every time. I shall continue to have her company paint not only my business apartments, but also my own home, in the future. I highly recommend them.

How lucky I am!!! I had the great fortune to meet City Zen team at one of my listings at The Sheffield . Wonderful experience! Merih and her team took a tired apartment in need of a paint job and clean up and made it an immaculate perfect move in condition ready unit in a matter of days. I look forward to working with Merih again in the future.

We hired City Zen Painting team to do work for client’s apartment. Not only did they finish the job on time as they promised without any hassle, they were also the best priced competitively. Their attention to detail and tidiness throughout the process was impressive. The end result was spectacular.

Had a great experience with City Zen. I was looking to have a conference room in my office. I quickly got a quote that was far less than competitors and was able to easily book a time that worked best for me. On the day of the service, the painters were actually EARLY (!!) and super efficient. They were great, worked efficiently and did a wonderful job. Would definitely recommend City Zen for any kind of paint job.

The City Zen team just finished a job at my home today. I was in a situation where I hired a contractor to paint my property and they damaged the walls significantly. I called the City Zen team - they were super responsive and Jon came out the next day and gave a quote. We went with a daily rate because the prior painter did so much damage that it was impossible to estimate the scope of the work. The rate was fair and the team completed the job in two weeks (3,00 sq ft apartment).
The painters (Devon and Lou) were friendly, efficient, and most importantly, they had an eye for detail. My last contractor would paint over cracks and paint over unsanded patches, so i was refreshing to walking into a room that the City Zen team painted and see the work done to a high standard and not have to find issues with it.
Lastly, the owner and Jon (the foreman) checked in with me and cam e by every couple days, which was refreshing. Their communication was better than I could have expected.
I am a big fan and will work with them, again.

I found City Zen Painting by looking at the highest ranking painters on Yelp, and they were absolutely as good as I hoped. They painted my one bedroom apartment with primer and two coats in one day, getting into places I didn't think they would be able to. I highly recommend them!
- Matthew K.New York, NY
These guys are life savers. The owner helped me put last minute the day after Xmas when everything was closed to restore an expensive table back to perfection after an accidental heat and candle stain. Honest, knowledgeable, and great results.
- Jessica Z.New York, NY
City Zen is the best painting and consulting company that I have EVER worked with. Even though the job itself was finished, they always managed to circle back to make sure my needs were met. They always followed back up to check in and make sure to execute any last minute touch ups possible. They are so understanding and really pay attention to detail. I will be calling them again for any future projects moving forward.
LOVED THEM!!!
THE BEST!!!!!
From the moment I reached out to them; I had nothing to say but the highest remarks!! They are an extraordinary team that is beyond professional and talented. They were there with me every step of the way, giving ample insight-as I was buying/painting my first home. Their recommendations and knowledge are truly one of a kind. They not only matched my specialized colors, but made my Penthouse look as glamorous as possible! Their job wasn't even over after they were done painting. They waited until I moved in; and did a final walk thru- for touch ups. If anyone is looking for an AMAZING top NOTCH service; I would recommend them a million times! They truly made this experience that easy and memorable.

They did a great job with the wallpapering of my 2 rooms. I actually ran out of wallpaper and easily booked a second session to come back and finish the job.
They are a little more expensive but they are worth it for the customer service and communication.
Thanks again!

I wanted to renovate my kitchen but due to the price of materials and labor increasing I explored the option of repainting. I contacted more than a dozen contractors(residential and commercial). After reading reviews and looking at the pictures on each of their websites and Yelp pages I contacted City Zen Painting. Jon(the owner) set up a phone consultation with me. During the consultation their process was explained to me, how important multiple coats and airing out the area then applying another coat. Additionally, they cleaned the kitchen cabinets and sanded them by hand prior to painting. Many painters take short cuts and use a thick, cheaper paint to avoid the labor of doing it the right way. It was a two day project, the price was very reasonable and if breathed new life(and saved me thousands on a complete renovation) into my kitchen and turned out lovely!

I posted a paint job on yelp looking for someone to skim coat, paint and prime 3 remaining walls in my home. I attempted to skim coat one of the walls myself to try and have it done by Thanksgiving, but it definitely didn't work out. I was very worried that I wouldn't be able to get someone both fairly priced and available to finish the job by Christmas. Thankfully, City Zen came to the rescue.
A number of companies were unavailable, for any immediate jobs, which had me very worried, but Ms. M responded quickly looking for a phone consultation. She wanted to get a better idea, aside from the pics, of what specifically I was looking to have done and to discuss details before giving me a quote. She also sent Devon out to take a look at the job, which I appreciated, so that there were no surprises and changes after a quote was given. She was very knowledgeable, helpful, and reassuring when it came to what would work best for my situation. She was so helpful she made it clear that they could start and finish the job by the very next week. It all came down to the price for me and thankfully she gave a very fair one considering the work it takes to skim coat and sand. Speaking with her as the contact person was fantastic.
Devon and another skilled gentleman worked on my walls in the 3 days it took. They were friendly, efficient and very detail oriented. Not rushed at all. They did a beautiful job, as you can see in the pics (don't mind the shadows on the walls from my Christmas window decorations). Devon finished up on his last day and really made a point of looking over his work continuously.
I was thrilled to finally have my painted walls and, most importantly, to have it done before the holidays. I will definitely be using them again for other parts of my home and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a stress free paint project.
- Tricia S.New York, NY
I had an all around great experience with City Zen. They were super responsive with a very fast and reasonable quote for a small repair/paint job for some water damage on my ceiling. They were able to send someone out right away to do the work. The painter, John, was careful, friendly and thorough. He even followed up the next day to touch up his work to get it perfect at no additional charge. I will use them again the next time I need any painting done,
- Evan K.New York, NY
They did an incredible job painting our three bedroom duplex apartment. We wanted several different colors, in a variety of rooms and not only did they complete the job perfectly in a timely manner but they helped with color selection when I was feeling unsure, helped buy paint samples to test and were overall a pleasure to work with. And the best pricing in the city - we got four different quotes and they were the best of all of them. Definitely use them if youre looking for perfectly painted walls 🙂
- Nadia S.New York, NY
Ms M was wonderful - she was willing to work with me on the price since I am on a tight budget. She was nice, compassionate and understanding. The painter , Devin was fabulous and did a great job- very nice man, thorough and detailed. I am beyond happy and highly recommend !
- Agnieszka M.New York, NY
We needed 14 doors, baseboards, window frames and wall trims painted in our NYC apartment. We have 11 foot ceilings so the task was not easy. City Zen did a perfect job; we were so happy with the results. The rest of our apartment was painted by very expensive contractors and City Zen did a much better job than they did. I would recommend them to anyone. The painters were each extremely polite, clean and courteous. They all wore masks. They are very very responsive to scheduling and even made an exception to come paint on the weekend for us given I am pregnant and working from home. They went above and beyond to make us happy and we were very very pleased with the level of service and the results!
- S H.New York, NY
City Zen did a great job painting our new apartment! The price was very reasonable and transparent. They were able to start the work within few days (we needed it asap) and accommodate our evolving needs as they were painting. Miss M gave us great recommendations regarding style and color choices. They finished the work within the days they initially promised. They even brought extra painters last day to make it on time! Communication was very easy as Miss M was super responsive. We needed a lot of work (walls, ceiling, doors, closets, trims..) and it all turned out amazing. Would definitely recommend City Zen!
- Beryl K.New York, NY
Ms M was responsive and answered all our questions in a timely fashion. The price was competitive. The painter, Devon came on time and was extremely nice. His work was excellent!! He patched all the holes and got rid of all the marks. We were nervous at first because we had a tight schedule and was asking a lot to be done in 2 days. But he finished all the work and early! I highly recommend!

I reached out to City Zen Painting for an overall apartment paint job prior to a move-in. Merih was the main contact person and was extremely professional and knowledgeable from start to finish. I am giving 5 stars for the following main reasons --
1. competitive and transparent pricing - if you're upfront with what the job entails, Merih is transparent with the pricing...no (last minute) additional charges or surprises;
2. flexible and quick timeline - while speaking with city zen, the move-in date got pushed up so I needed the job to be finished sooner than later. They were extremely accommodative and flexible with scheduling. From start to finish, everything took 5 business days. I reached out to her with building requirements on Monday, had painters in on Thursday and finished Friday;
3. ongoing communication - Merih was patient with my neurotic anxiety and my building's strict guidelines and requirements. She was always available and reachable and maintained contact before, during and after the job.
4. overall professionalism by both Merih and the painters.
5. great execution and paint job with attention to detail - when I came to see the final paint job, I had no complaints or issues. They painted everything well and within the time frame that was laid out from the beginning. By the time I got there, they also cleaned up after themselves - no mess!
I was anxious and a bit skeptical at first given how seamless and quick everything was coming together, but am sold now after all is said and done. I will be using them again in the future for all paint jobs and will be recommending them to all my friends and family.
Thank you Merih and team!
- G K.New York, NY
We needed to do a quick apartment turnover and found City Zen painting. The business was extremely responsive and communication was excellent. I provided square footage and video and explained I had all the materials but needed an excellent paint job done. Started communication on Saturday, painter showed up on Monday, work started on Tuesday and completed by Wednesday evening. Devon and Ras are wonderful to work with. The paint is white and we had dark wood trim. The painters did a beautiful job with all the crisp edging and detail work. No smears, drips or splatters. Left the unit in pristine condition.
We will be using again and in the future. The pricing is reasonable (which is very important). Satisfied customer.
- Bernadette S.New York, NY
We had overhead lighting installed and were left with crumbly drywall patches and some extra holes that weren't properly filled. City Zen came in and sanded everything down and painted over the area, and you'd never know anything was done. We were so happy with the work done we asked if they could fix a few other areas which they accommodated same day. They were very responsive and helpful in figuring out the work that was needed. Covid protocols were followed without needing to be asked. All around a great experience.
- Kate L.New York, NY
Owner was very responsive by e-mail and text, and worked efficiently and carefully to scope the work and mobilize her crew. Their work was excellent, pricing was good, and it was done on time as promised. It was a tricky job with different rooms/walls requiring different treatments, including matching existing colors, and I had to coordinate it from out-of-town with photos, videos, and descriptions of what needed to be done, and they got every detail right. They also did some light patching and repairs. Very satisfied!
- Zach V.New York, NY
Very efficient and professional. Quick turnaround time from start to finish- highly recommended
- Mike G.New York, NY
City Zen Painting was amazing! Their attention to detail was so meticulous that we knew right away they have enormous pride in the work they do. They asked a ton of specific questions to make sure everything was done perfectly and then even highlighted things we weren't aware of. They were extremely professional, responsive and also were able to work miracles in terms of the very compressed timeline we had to get everything done. They exceeded our expectations in every possible way and can't wait for our next project so we can work with City Zen Painting again.
- Reanna G.New York, NY
My husband and I just purchased our very first apartment and we did a lot of research before deciding to go with City Zen Painting. Morgan was very professional and attentive about the job. There were many options, some very expensive ones, but Morgan came in and gave her best recommendation and gave us the best price (She was able to work with our budget!).
Even though our job was small relatively to the larger projects that Citi Zen Painting was working on at the time, Morgan stayed very much on top of it and sent her best guys on the job. The result came out amazing! Overall, we are very impressed with the level of service as well as the level of craftsmanship on the project. Would definitely recommend City Zen Painting!
- Vania T.New York, NY
Great job. The painters showed up on time, wore masks, and did a lovely job. Highly recommend!
- Pamela R.New York, NY
Extremely thorough and helpful.
I wanted to re-paint parts my apartment and City Zen was able to accommodate at the last minute and provided basically everything from the paint (showing me different variations prior) to providing a reasonable price.
During the entire project, Morgan was very hands on and accessible throughout checking in multiple times to see how everything is going in addition to also following up after everything was done to ensure all is well.
Great experience, would recommend and definitely use their services in the future when needed!
- Dash E.New York, NY
Very responsive and easy to work with. The job was well done and quicker than expected. I would definitely recommend and use them again
- Huei Suen N.New York, NY
City Zen was great! Responded quickly, gave me a very good quote, and were able to do the job 4 days later. The painter was prompt, courtesy, and good quality. Morgan explained everything to me on the phone, including what type of paint I should consider. Really happy with the beautiful results and highly recommend!
- Kate S.New York, NY
I had the best experience with City Zen Painting. The owner was so kind and helpful while coordinating having someone stop by to fix a wall I wrecked while trying to hang a mirror.
The painter/contractor who came out, was quick professional and very skilled! Anyone who is looking for a great painter should use this painting company, by far the best one I have encountered yet.
- Adrienne K.New York, NY
City Zen Painting did an amazing job! They are extremely fast, work well with condo/co-op rules, and do a spectacular job. Merih helped make the apartment I moved into really shine. They offer very competitive pricing
- Ardashir M.New York, NY
I needed to have my East Village apt painted on short notice so I could move in after tenants left it in rough shape. City Zen provided a contract and were painting within 2 days notice! They did a professional job and even convinced me to use some space warming colors. Well done City Zen.
- John I.New York, NY
Winner !!!
City Zen is an absolute pleasure to deal with. The owner is very professional and easy to work with. As a real estate professional, I know how important it is to have a perfect paint job. The price was fair and work was performed as promised. They provided me with all the insurance documents that the building management required and made the entire process painless and effortless.
I will use City Zen again without any question.

One of our employees in our company had used City Zen Painting for her home, she recommended them for us to use for painting our office and I'm so glad we did. We had kind of a tight schedule, we needed painting done in a timely manner as we have just moved to a new space and needed accent walls done across our office. Merih from the beginning was quick with an estimate, easy to talk to and transparent about the process and this is what we liked about going with City Zen Painting. They came quickly, finished the job in one day and we were impressed by the worksmanship and professionalism of the painter, Lou. This would be a nice enough to finish our review, however, our experience doesn't end there. Due to no fault of anybody's, the paint that was chosen by our interior designer just didn't look right once added to half our walls. I panicked and texted Merih about the situation after the painting job was supposed to finish, such a short notice request and she did tell me they had other jobs planned. However, Lou was back the next morning, and proceeded to repaint four of the walls with a new color that we now love and are so happy with. All for a reasonable price. Thanks again to City Zen Painters, we'll be back and appreciate your flexibility!

We hired City Zen Painting to paint our townhouse in UWS. We spoke with several difference companies but City Zen standout. They were following up and answering all our questions. Painters were on time every day for six days and they did a great job. We had a lot of drywall repairing and they did a fabulous job! We were very happy with the result and will definitely use them again.
