Nick Slavik Painting & Restoration Co.

Over a dozen different painters are mentioned across reviews. Robert Wagner praised Tait for treating "our home as if it was his home." Laura Narhi described Hayden's "suggestions, talent, and professionalism" during a basement project. Barbara Pfohl called Aron "outstanding" for handling a short-notice bedroom job in seven days. EK from Prior Lake credited Gavin and Michael with prep work that made their "interior of the house looks like new."

Historic work is central to the company's identity. NICOLE MESSIER hired them to restore "our 116yr old home's original cedar lap siding" after a bad experience with another contractor, noting the team's "decency and expertise was JUST what we needed." The Dyckman Free Library praised their work on a century-old building. Nick Slavik himself noted in a reply that he "started this firm almost 18 years ago because I love historic structures."

Cabinet work is a major specialty with a documented 47-step process. Alesha Brizius described going from "old wall paper with apples and yellowing paper" and dark cabinets to a room that "looks open, happy and beautiful." Kimberly Marek praised painter Tate for being "communicative, friendly, and always on time (even during a snow event)." Mary and Nick Barten, repeat customers, call Nick Slavik their "go-to company" for cabinet work.

Several customers addressed value directly. Nicole Vetmed gathered multiple estimates and expected a premium but found "their quote was highly competitive" and called the results "absolutely perfect." Steve G. was so satisfied with the upfront quote he "didn't get any comparison quotes." Robert Schoenbauer summarized his experience simply with "pricing was great, workers were great."

Owner Nick Slavik responds to criticism directly. When Darla Krutzig left a 1-star review about an unfinished project, Nick explained the home "was not ready to paint" due to clutter and confirmed a refund was issued. For edwin everett's 3-star concern about preparation, the company provided a detailed technical explanation of their coating system and confirmed the project manager would follow up. Margaret Mills noted scheduling issues, and Nick personally apologized while explaining a "Craftsperson call in sick."

Repeat business is a strong pattern. Ray Rockholt has used the company four separate times, stating "this is the fourth time we have used Nick Slavik." Sarah Bring left reviews for two different projects, calling herself a "return NSPR customer." Frank Orr has "called on Nick Slavick multiple times, and they always impress." Paula Nelson completed her "second project" and called Aron "a dream to work with."

Tom McBeain on Facebook summarized the process well, noting the company "did everything they said they would in the timeframe we requested and for the agreed upon price." Keith Winters praised the "very quick response to our website inquiry, immediate scheduling of an estimate" and "ongoing communication maintained throughout." David Email described feeling like he had his own "painting concierge" with a "simple and straightforward" quoting process.
