Elias Baltas is one of the founders of New York Painters, and as such, he remains committed to coordinating and advising with all aspects of NY Painters projects. He plays a critical role in the day to day operation of this Commercial Painting Company.
Elias was born in Greece and had been painting structures in his native country for many years. Since Elias immigrated to the U.S in the late 1960's, he brought with him that unparalleled work ethic and expertise in the commercial coating industry. During his years of growing his own commercial painting company, Elias has worked on some of the most prominent buildings in the Tri State Area. Outside of working on complex commercial projects, he has also collaborated with some of the most famous celebrities. Just to name a few, Paul Newman, Judd Hirsch (from the show Taxi), Pat Morita (Mr. Miyagi), Gregory Peck, Gregory Hines, Rusty Staub, Robert Duvall, Eileen Ford (Ford Modeling Agency) and many others, have entrusted Elias with their homes and business'.

Elias has since transferred that hard work ethic, dedication, and knowledge to his two sons. They continue that legacy of delivering superior results that Elias has been providing for the last six decades. The satisfactory & complex completion of work with some of the largest developers, commercial, industrial and government agencies in the country has given Elias one of the most reputable names in the business.
