Very happy with not only the work & price, but also with how responsive and flexible NCS was. We hit issues with weather and Niall was easy to work with in regard to schedule. He also gave great advice and information on his recommendations, and I’d be comfortable proposing NCS to other home owners.

Niall did a great job. Quote was very reasonable, he showed up on time and finished the job in good time. Painting was very well done, he kept a tidy job site and cleaned up everything at the end of the job.
We received quotes from 3 companies and met with 2 of them. Niall was super easy to work with (no big sales talk, no stress at all). He just looked at the deck to assess what was needed, gave a brief accounting of the work he'd do (sanding, preparation, matching paint colour and 2 coats of paint), gave dates when he could schedule the work (perfectly within our requested time frame), said he could finish in 1-1/2 to 2 days, and gave a very reasonable quote. All within about 10-15 minutes. Then, he came and did the job perfectly and exactly as he said he would, with absolutely complete clean-up after. So excellent, it looks great! We couldn't be happier! It was such a pleasure to work with Niall. We would certainly work with him again and recommend him for any paint job.
I hired Niall, of NCS Painting & Design, to paint my condo. Niall did a beautiful job despite challenges he encountered, and left the place all cleaned up. The job came in precisely on budget. I’m very pleased.
Niall at NCS Painting was very quick to respond to my request for a quote. He paid detailed attention to the specifics of the job and had a quote ready the next day. Niall and Phyllis were prompt and efficient doing the work and were respectful of us and our home. He scouted the city on a Sunday to find the exact right paint for the job, which was in short supply. The walls are beautiful as a result. We are very happy and recommend Niall, who is a true pro.

Worth checking yourself
Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.
No credentials are shown here and the business has not claimed this profile. Ask to see certificates and insurance directly.
Trade licensing in Canada is set by each province or territory. Electrical, gas and plumbing are licensed trades almost everywhere (for example ESA for electrical and TSSA for gas in Ontario), so check your provincial regulator that the contractor is certified for the work before you hire.
A construction lien is a real risk: in every province an unpaid subcontractor or supplier can register a lien against your home even if you already paid the main contractor. Hold back the statutory amount (commonly around 10%) and get signed lien waivers as you pay.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
