I thought I was hiring a painter when I hired Darek, instead I really hired a true artist and stellar person. Darek has painted many rooms in my home now and he is amazing. He is trustworthy, very clean, honest, and very receptive to my visions. I would recommend him without reservation. If you want quality with speed and accuracy he is the right artist. His ability to transform a room, furniture or anything really is a gift. I have also had other neighbors around me that he has painted beautiful designs. He is very custom to individual style.

My husband and I just had the pleasure of both meeting and working with Darek Sokol "European Painter" on a project in our home. I have worked with many contractors over the years, both personally and professionally, and I can say with all confidence that Darek is one of the best in his business. Darek completed an extensive painting project in our home that I thought would have taken a three man crew a week. The job was done in four and a half days, and at a very fair price. Additionally, we trusted him implicitly in our home. He was beyond respectful, and even enjoyed our two dogs who have historically been a handful for previous contractors. He will now be our painting contractor of choice for life.

Derek Sokol has painted the interior of our home several times and always done a fantastic, meticulous job. He is honest, hard-working, and creative. His faux-finish and Venetian plaster work are superb!

Derrick and his team are absolutely amazing. Not only did they complete the job on time, but they did an exceptional job. I will continue to use the European Painter as they are reliable, competitively priced and second to none with regards to quality. I will refer everyone his way!

Hired him in May 2017 to paint our laundry room, bedroom and to stain the front-door frame. He did a very good job and in particular showed skill in matching paint color to repair partially damaged front-door stain. Mr. Sokol showed attention to the detail and his painting services are reasonably priced.

Zero integrity. Uses poor quality subcontractors who left the job unfinished. The owner refused to come out and even inspect the job. He refuses to take any responsibility for his crew. Wishing there was some accountability on his end.

Response from the owner:
There's a slight difference between subcontracting a job and simply referring someone else to do the job. Justin, you never hired me to do the job. Instead I sent someone that I know and whom I've recommended a few times in the past and they did a good job. Sorry it didn't work as smoothly as it should this time. I will never recommend this person for any paint job again.

Complete 2200 square foot interior painting. Absolutely satisfied! This guy is very professional and delivers quality work. I usually can't wait for trades to get the job done and leave my house because of the headache most companies give me. Darek was a breath of fresh air in comparison to previous experiences.

As a real estate broker, I've given Derek's name to many of my clients. Everyone raves about his work. I will continue to recommend him as long as either I or my clients need a painter! I've hired him many times for interior and exterior painting. He is very professional in his friendly personality and does great work!

Living room and bedroom paint, outdoor trim around windows and stucco repair/paint. Darek did a wonderful job and was a pleasure to work with. We will definitely use him again in the future for any similar work and will recommend him to friends. Very reasonably priced as well.

Mr. Sokol did such a great job for us we recommend him to all our friends. He does exactly what we ask him to do and always such a great job. He is far and away the best painter we have used, I have used him three times; for our own personal home, as well as two other rehab projects. He has a real eye for textures and murals even turned a fireplace that had painted over back to looking like the beautiful brick that was here before. I was stunned, it is amazing the eye he has for the details. I am convinced there is no project he can't tackle, especially if it's a decorative/artistic component, he's a genius at that.

Darek - European Painter has painted 3 of my properties. I would never use another painter. His customer service and skill level is amazing! He has always provided quality work at reasonable prices. Highly recommended!

Several years ago Darek Sokol painted numerous rooms in our house and even did some faux finish walls. His work was excellent - so when we wanted to paint the rest of our house, including some very challenging places in our living room with high ceilings, we called on Darek again. As before, his work was impeccable. The painting really couldn't look any better. Although we didn't 'shop around' we have felt that his prices are quite fair, especially considering the difficulty and quality of the work. My husband and I highly recommend him - as a painter and as a person of good character.

I recommended European Painter to several of my clients and I personally used him to fix/restore faux painted walls that we had to patch due to a extensive water leak in a house. In each case Darek has done an excellent job, matched the faux finish colors perfectly and provided outstanding customer service to my clients. Highly recommended!

Darek painted several rooms in my home and did an excellent job. My 50 year- old colonial needed lots of improvements and he made design recommendations as well as color suggestions. In my dining room, he created a lovely Tuscan plaster on the walls that were previously papered. The room looks amazing; warm and appealing - looks expensive but the price was right! His work is outstanding and flawless. I look forward to having him do more work on our home. He is extremely talented and I do not hesitate to recommend his work.

Darek is just an amazing and artistic painter that continues to amaze me with what he does! I have hired Darek on several occasions! One was for my beautiful Bed & Breakfast in Divide, Colorado where he did several walls, another was a beautiful mural that he did for my restaurant in Downtown Castle Rock! Darek is not only talented, but a very good businessman and very professional. Communication with him is excellent, he is responsive, clean and a very artistic and talented painter in many areas! I would highly recommend him and will use him again!

Darek did an excellent job painting my home. He venetian plastered 2 rooms (this is a LOT harder than it looks), marbleized my columns, painted oak stair rails for a very unique Euro look, he did 3 commissioned paintings as well as some "normal" painting. I can not recommend him enough... We have received SO MANY compliments on his artistic artwork. Highly recommend. You may contact me for references if you like.... My look was old-world elegance and he definitely achieved that look! Thanks Darek!

European Painter did an excellent job for my family at a time we were very distraught. A car barreled into our home. The family room was a total loss and we had a beautiful mural of a Germanic mountain scene partially destroyed. We thought it would be lost as the artist was not to be found. We called Derek to see if he would be able to restore it. He took great effort to restore the painting to its original look. We watched as he took the broken pieces and studied them, comparing paint colors and brush strokes. He did not rush the process. The result was nothing short of a miracle!! There is not one hint of where the original ends and Derek's work begins. All three of us in the home were astonished - even though we know where the breaks are in the painting, WE cannot even see them. This mural means so very much to us. Derek not only restored our mural for us but was very sensitive to our family at a time we were very vulnerable. He was always professional and very kind. We recommend both his work and his professionalism without hesitation.

The team did an excellent job. They were on time and did a great job, in a timely manner and for a good price. The house looks better now than when I bought it. There was a small detail I noticed while they were working that i didn't know weather to mention or not and when we went out for the inspection it was taken care of, without me saying a word. It was a small thing but to me it was a big thing.

European Painter was hired by a contractor I was using to fix the errors they had made. The European painters arrived promptly and with no direction turned my house into a masterpiece. They paid very close attention to detail, went over parts of the house 3 times, they even cleaned up the paint drippings the other contractor had left behind and removed the overspray off of my windows (from other company). I couldn't have been happier with the job they did. Very professional, remarkable work and I felt safe having the workers at my house. It didn't feel like my house was being worked on, they even cleaned up after themselves before they left. I highly recommend using this company. I will absolutely be using them again.

Hired European Painter to strip miles of wall paper out of a house I bought and paint the entire interior. As usual, the crew did a super job. They started and finished right on schedule, excellent job of patching and repairing the walls, extremely careful about all the trim (which was not painted), etc. They were a little more expensive than 2 other painters I talked to but I hired them anyway because I knew what kinds of job they would do.

Hired him last October 2012 to do a painting for a small niche I have in my entryway. He came to my house, seemed excited about doing it, took my deposit and never did the painting. He initially told me he was happy to be doing a smaller project and would have it to me in 10 days. I had to continually call him and to find out when my painting would be ready. Finally in Feb 2013, he said he wouldn't be doing it and returned my deposit. Would not recommend him for anything.

The fluid integration of various artistic mediums has transformed our home beyond all expectations. Whether you are looking to create a vast mural on the scale found at Mollica's Italian Market in the Broadmoor Towne Center or an old world vignette in your guest bathroom, Darek has an artistic eye that is second to none. We thought we were hiring a painter to do some faux touches; we discovered a master of his trade.

Just checking in with you to say hi and to let you know what a great reaction we received when my family came by the other night for my daughter's birthday party. The words to describe your work was "Wow! This is fantastic!", "I don't know what to look at first", "This is absolutely beautiful!" From the murals in the entrance way, to the awesome fireplace that just blew everyone away, to the quaint dining room, to all the faux painting in several of the rooms, everyone felt as though they were in a European country. The whole project was a success. We had a fabulous evening and we enjoyed a job well done. Mike and I would definitely recommend you for any house painting job either inside or out. It was also very nice to make a new friend here in Colorado. Perhaps we will get to work together again in a future.

We hired this painter to paint our new house after we moved in. He was always on time, prompt and clean. After looking at his portfolio of faux finishes and murals we decided to have him glaze our dining room and paint a little mural in foyer. He has shown an exceptional talent and professionalism. We are very happy with European Painter's work and we would highly recommend him for any painting project.

Darek painted a very large mural (Italian scene) in my living room, two rooms and a ceiling. He did a fantastic job, has an eye for detail, his lines were very straight at the cut off points, he was extremely creative, used great colors, and he was very neat and responsible. I would use him again and would recommend him for anyone's painting needs.
