I’ve been working with Nick over the past 5 years plus and Nick is always looking out for what is best for his customers.  He is always challenging us to give him the best products for each application. He leaves no stone unturned before he settles on the best products for each customer.

I am the owner of two commercial buildings. On par with a good plumber is a dependable painter. Nick is not just dependable and efficient, but his attention to detail is exceptional. He found important defects in our last maintenance job that saved us money. Our project was under budget, and he got the job done with a smile. I am happy to highly recommend Nick. He has become a cherished member of my maintenance team.

First and foremost, Nick Sayko is a true gentleman. He is very honest and extremely fair in his dealings with his customers, from our experience. He is beyond detail oriented and is not satisfied with his work until he is happy with the results. We had occasions where we were happy with the job done, and Nick would not call it complete until he was completely happy with the outcome. We have had to force him to accept additional compensation from us. We have recommended Nick to others, will continue to do so, and we will definitely have him do additional work for us. He painted the exterior and the vast majority of the interior of our house.

Nick Sayko of Nick’s Painting (formerly) and Island Painting Pros, is a name you’ll want to remember when you’re contemplating your next painting project. Whether it’s an exterior, interior, or specialty project, Nick brings an incredible base of knowledge for the exact application that will work best for the job.  He has a current, up to date, and working understanding of the chemistry of paint itself and is talented and helpful with color and product choices.  

In 2021, my husband and I bought a 40-year-old, two-story, cedar shake home on acreage that had never been treated or painted. We proceeded to remodel the home inside and out, and when it came time to paint the exterior, there was only one person that we even considered calling to put us on his schedule. Nick helped us with the entire project with power washing, gutter cleaning, and more in preparation for the painting. The end result was amazing and the pictures will tell the story! 

We have recommended Nick to many of our clients and friends and will continue to do so. If you are looking for a professional painter who shows up, charges a fair price, and exceeds your expectations, you need to call Nick Sayko. 

Best regards,

We hired Nick Sayko based on a friend’s recommendation and only have positive feedback to share. We wanted Nick to paint and update all our old oak kitchen cabinets. Nick came over and we discussed what we wanted which included removing all the old outside hinges and replacing them with new inside hinges. Also, we wanted all of the hardware replaced with new updated hardware (some hardware added where there was none), and adding a new wall near the refrigerator which would make it appear built in. We needed our new microwave to fit perfectly, which meant adjusting one of the cabinet sides and a new pullout cutting board. It was a pretty big project. 
 
Nick let us know that the brand of paint he used was Benjamin Moore and we are so pleased with his work.  What also amazed us was the way he closed off our kitchen from the rest of the house and it felt so neat and organized. Nick met all the timelines and he is very trustworthy. We know this because we left on vacation while he was doing most of the work and he checked in with us regularly with updates. 
 
Because we painted the cabinets white, they get dirty easily since we cook daily. The paint is so smooth and high quality that I can easily wash them regularly and they look as great as the first day he finished this project. We love our kitchen and can always count on Nick for our cabinet, closet, and remodeling projects. Nick is amazing, he is highly recommended, a true meticulous craftsman and artist. As former educators we give Nick an A+.

Nick Sayko owner of Island Painting Pros painted our home on South Whidbey last summer and we could not be happier with how it turned out. Nick took his time helping us decide on colors and what kind of products to use and explained why we should consider his advice. The finished product was of high quality, the work was done in a neat and orderly manner, and when he was finished, we walked the entire house for some minor touch-ups that they promptly finished that day with his crew. I would recommend Nick with confidence that they would have the same experience we did. Great Job!
