Customer Reviews
Eric and his team did a great job painting my front door and cornice. They provided a much needed refresh to the exterior of my home and did so in little time. I would highly recommend their services for quality and efficiency.
Morgan Fletcher

Eric and his team are great. They painted the interior of our new house and did a great job – and touched up without question. Now a year later we found an area that wasn’t done right the first time that we missed after wallpaper was removed and he sent his team the next day to remedy it. Highly recommend using Paint Perfection!
Laura LeBaron

Paint Perfection did a phenomenal job painting the exterior of our house. Eric and his team went over and beyond to make sure everything was completed how we wanted. We had four different colors for the house and the team finished sooner than anticipated. The house looks better than we could have ever imagined. Thank you.
Kirk Denisuk

Eric and his team did a great job from start to finish: truth in advertising, because it came out perfect. I forgot to take a “before” photo, but they did a great job repairing poor drywalling we inherited from a prior owner. As you can see from the photos, they were careful to protect flooring and furniture from paint spatter. They also finished up faster than anticipated. Eric was very easy to get in touch with any questions I had.
Lina Nandy

We recently hired Paint Perfection to paint the entire inside of our 2,200 sq. ft, 4-story house, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! After obtaining three quotes, we chose Paint Perfection based on their solid reputation, strong reviews, and the confidence we felt after meeting Eric, the owner.
It was important to us to work with a company that had a proven track record, provided a detailed quote, did what they promised, and carried insurance. Paint Perfection checked all those boxes and more. The quality of their work was exceptional, and their professionalism was evident throughout the entire process.
If you’re looking for a reliable and skilled painting company, I highly recommend Paint Perfection!

Aurora painting was the only company I talked to that could paint my replacement cabinet fronts in a professional manner and for a reasonable price. I bought the new fronts from Semihandmade to replace the horrible eroding thermafoil Ikea fronts that I have hated for 9 years (since I moved into the house). The kitchen feels fresh, modern and happy when before it was ragged. Aurora also installed the new fronts for me. Tyler was very patient with my difficulty choosing the color and in general is excellent at customer communications. Happy with the result!
Mavis Biss

Aurora Painting did an excellent job on my kitchen cabinets. Tyler (the owner) was very professional, knowledgeable and courteous. He explained the process and assured me the job could be done in approximately 3-5 days, and stayed on point. The crew were very courteous and professional (Dylan did a great job and was always prompt and on time). They did a great up job after the completion of the job. I would recommend this Company.

Before calling your team, I was unhappy with the outdated and worn-out look of my kitchen cabinets. They made the entire space feel dark and uninviting. I wanted a fresh, modern look that would brighten up the area and make it feel more welcoming.
Working with your team was an absolute pleasure! From the initial consultation to the final walk-through, the process was seamless and stress-free. Your crew was professional, courteous, and took great care in protecting my floors and countertops. The attention to detail was impressive, and the painting process was remarkably efficient. I appreciated the regular updates and communication throughout the project.
Now, I am absolutely thrilled with my newly painted kitchen cabinets! The crisp, white finish has completely transformed the space, making it feel brighter, more modern, and incredibly inviting. The quality of the work is exceptional, and the cabinets look brand new. You and your team truly exceeded my expectations!
Denise Fisher

Tyler of Aurora Painting has been a pleasure to work with. I try to give young entrepreneurs an opportunity when I can. I’ll have him back when I’m ready to paint the living room.
Kaye Cook

After seeking out a local company to paint our home interior doors we luckily stumbled upon Aurora Painting. Working with Tyler and his team was a pleasure. The team arrived as scheduled making the process seamless. We are completely satisfied with the transformation in bringing our vision to life and would highly recommend!

Customer Reviews
Over the last several years, I have had all my painting, both indoor and outdoor, done by Sheldon & Sons. I just had some work done again recently, and as always, the work was absolutely impeccable. The workers showed up precisely on time, they covered up my floors and furniture and were so careful and respectful of my property, they were not intrusive and they left me with no mess to clean up whatsoever. The costs are very reasonable, particularly as compared to other similar companies or, for that matter, private contractors, and the office staff is always pleasant, personable and responsive. And what’s most important to me is that the owner, Scott Sheldon, is honest, stands behind his work, and is always accessible if needed. It is such a worry-free pleasure to do business with this company that I don’t even consider doing business with another. They have my highest recommendation.
Andrea Breault

I searched and searched for a quality contractor to remove wallpaper and paint my kitchen. After meeting with about seven contractors, I met with the President (Scott) of Sheldon and Sons. Scott provided an explanation of the process and the length of time it would take to complete the work.
The painters, Sam (the leader) and team, were punctual, professional, respectful, and took pride in their work. They went above and beyond my expectation. The team was phenomenal! The crew completed the kitchen in two days and left the area neat and clean. We are in the process of scheduling our next project. Sheldon and Sons are awesome, and I would highly recommend this company!
Dawn Pearson
Dawn Pearson

We contacted Sheldon & Sons to complete some exterior paint work in order to prepare a home for settlement. We were given a prompt estimate from the company and the work was scheduled in a timely manner. My wife and I traveled from Delaware to Baltimore to meet the painters on the day the work was scheduled. The painting crew was prompt and worked diligently to get all of the work completed that day. They were very professional and made sure all of the required repairs were completed as detailed in the estimate. I would highly recommend Sheldon & Sons for your painting needs.
Dion Hawkins

We recently decided to freshen up several areas of our home. After we prepared a work list of the items we wanted to do we contacted Sheldon and Sons to do the work. It turned out to be four days work for two painters. The men arrived on time as scheduled and were very professional and courteous. They arrived in the morning, worked very effectively and efficiently all day, cleaned up and left at the end of the day. The experience was very good and professional. I have highly recommended Sheldon and Sons to my family and friends. I would not hesitate to use them again. Great Job.
Harry Kleinhen

It was a pleasure to deal with Sheldon & Sons every step of the way. I requested an estimate for my painting project on their web site, and they arrived promptly at the scheduled date and time. They provided me with a thorough and reasonably priced proposal on the same day as their site visit. Sheldon & Sons scheduled the work within one week of my acceptance of their proposal. The crew arrived at the scheduled time and did a very professional job. I am very happy with their service. Sheldon and Sons is a first-class organization.

I had an exceptional experience with Hands On Painters. Their team was not only punctual but also demonstrated tremendous professionalism throughout the project. Each worker was diligent and maintained a clean workspace, which made the process hassle-free. The quality of their work truly stood out, and I felt confident leaving my home in their capable hands.
What impressed me the most was how the management was always accessible and responsive to my inquiries. It made the entire experience smooth and reassuring. I would highly recommend Hands On Painters for anyone seeking high-quality painting services combined with excellent customer care.
Customer Reviews
We recently had our entire house repainted along with a number of cedar shakes and other woodwork repaired and replaced. The painting team and handyman team did a great job, very professional. We received a number of compliments from friends and neighbors when the job was finished. Highly recommend!
Brian S.

NOT recommended. Absolutely NO prep work i.e. sanding, priming, patching, taping areas not to paint, removing (yes prep work was in the contract). Painted over old wallpaper, painted over tape residue, did not patch holes, painted over electric outlets and switches, painted the sink and toilet where it touches. None of the workers spoke English so communication was difficult. No follow-up. See photos.
Cheryl

Had my entire house painted including cabinets. Painters that performed my project were extremely tidy, paid attention to detail and I felt comfortable in the fact I was not home during the two week process. Management especially Derrick was fantastic to deal with and was quick to reply to texts. Have nothing but high regards for Hands on Painting.
Teresa Farrell

This was the third time I hired Hands on Painters, and as before, I was not disappointed. The estimator, Derrick, came on time as scheduled and listened to what I wanted done. He also gave a few suggestions that, in the end, were really good suggestions. His estimate was accurate with the final cost and very fair. He had also guessed it would take 2-3 days to complete the job and that is what it took. Each day, the three painters came on time and started working right away. The most important thing – the rooms they painted (the living and dining rooms, two other rooms’ ceilings, as well as outside parts of the house) looked great! Professional, as you would hope, and they did a nice job cleaning up when they were done. I would definitely hire Hands on Painters again and I highly recommend them.
Brenda Kahn

Our experience with Hands on Painters was great! They were very professional. The crew was on time every day and cleaned up every day after the work was done. We had all of our windows painted, inside and out, shutters and front door. They also sanded down our “bubble” ceiling in the bathroom, recoated it, and painted the room. We will be using their services again!

I would highly recommend Livers and Sons! We contacted them in a pinch to inquire about an interior paint job for our house, and they got back to us promptly with an assessment and price quote. They were on the job within a day of the estimate and they did a fantastic job! They transformed our living room, kitchen, and master bedroom/bathroom areas. We’ll be reaching out again soon for another project. Kudos to Erin and his team for providing great excellent customer service!
Raven Williams Cuffee

The crew showed up on time daily and they were very respectful to me and of my home. The price was very reasonable! Both partners kept in touch every step of the way. Once I put in the request for a quote they called and came out the next day. I’m planning to schedule them to do the next phase in a couple of months. I highly recommend them!

Joseph STauffer

Stephen and his team painted our entire first floor, stairwell, upstairs hallway (all the common area spaces), exterior and interior doors when we purchased our new home. It was previously painted very bright and saturated colors so we knew that the creamy white color we chose would be difficult to cover. They did an excellent job and we were very pleased with the results. We will definitely hire them again in the future!

I highly recommend Steve. He responded to our initial search for a painter quickly and politely. His prices were fair. The prices he quoted were less than or comparable to other quotes we got.
We chose Steve because he was a responsible professional.
After viewing the rooms that needed painting, he offered us detailed estimates for each room which included suggested repairs and recommendations for the best types of paint.
He was punctual, efficient and tidy. He greatly improved the appearance of the three rooms he painted! We will definitely call him for our next painting project.

Sashka Co. Bracelets

Steve Knipp was recommended to me by a friend several years back and quickly became my go to painter. He has done four paint jobs for me, both interior and exterior. He is a perfectionist in his work and it definitely shows. The last job involved matching an unusual paint pattern and touching up flaws in my living room from thirty years of hanging pictures and decorations and even tears on the wall from adhesives. He did it perfectly. You can’t even tell now where the holes and tears were. In a previous paint job he painted my extensive ornamental iron fence surrounding my front yard. His prep work involved using a primer that actually eats rust. He did such a great job that the fence will be able to go two years longer between repaintings than it had with my previous painter. Steve is the painter extraordinaire in my book.
Gary Pearson

We’ve been using Steve for a little over a year now for several interior painting projects. The first job we had with him was painting the cabinets on our old house before it went on the market which helped it sell much faster than I anticipated! We’ve used him for several other projects since. He communicates well, works very quickly even for larger projects, and is very reasonable cost-wise.

This company did not secure scaffolding pieces on a job site and those pieces flew off of a bridge they were contracted to work on which caused almost 6 thousand dollars worth of damage to my vehicle. Now, almost a month later, I am still getting no assistance on getting my vehicle repaired by them or their insurance representatives.

Catalog of services offered by painters in Baltimore
Residential Painting
One of the primary services provided by painters in Baltimore is residential painting. This encompasses both interior and exterior painting projects aimed at enhancing the aesthetics of homes. Painters take great care to prepare surfaces, select appropriate paint types, and ensure a flawless finish that reflects the homeowner's style.
Commercial Painting
Commercial painting services focus on businesses and professional spaces. Painters in Baltimore are skilled at handling larger scale projects that maintain a professional appearance while minimizing disruption to daily operations. This includes offices, retail spaces, and warehouses, making sure every detail aligns with the brand's identity.
Surface Preparation
No painting project can be successful without extensive surface preparation. This service is crucial as it involves cleaning, sanding, and repairing surfaces before paint application. Painters use their expertise to assess what preparation is necessary to achieve a long-lasting and beautiful result.
Custom Finishes
For those seeking something unique, custom finishes offered by painters can transform a space dramatically. From textured walls to faux finishes, painters in Baltimore can create personalized looks that suit individual tastes and complement existing decor.
Deck and Fence Painting
Another important service is deck and fence painting. This not only enhances the visual appeal of outdoor spaces but also protects these structures from weathering and decay. Painters ensure that the right products are used to withstand various environmental factors while providing a polished look.
Color Consultation
Choosing the right colors can be overwhelming. Many painters in Baltimore offer color consultation services to help clients select hues that best fit their vision and the mood of the space. This expertise can make a significant difference in achieving a cohesive and inviting environment.
Wallpaper Installation and Removal
In addition to painting, some painters specialize in wallpaper installation and removal. This service requires precision and skill to ensure proper adhesion and alignment. Whether refreshing a room with new wallpaper or removing outdated patterns, painters help to create the desired ambiance.
Lead Paint Removal
For older homes, lead paint removal is a critical service offered by qualified painters. This process must comply with specific regulations to ensure safety. Experienced painters in Baltimore can identify and safely remove lead paint, reducing health risks associated with exposure.
Post-Project Cleanup
Post-project cleanup is often overlooked but is an essential part of the painting process. After completing a job, painters ensure that the work area is tidy and that any debris or leftover materials are properly disposed of. This attention to detail contributes to customer satisfaction and maintains the integrity of the living or working space.
Frequently asked questions about painters in Baltimore
What types of painting services do painters in Baltimore offer?
Painters in Baltimore provide a variety of services, including interior and exterior painting, residential and commercial painting, faux finishes, and staining. Many also offer drywall repair, pressure washing, and color consultation to help clients choose the right hues for their spaces.
How can I find a reputable painter in Baltimore?
Finding a reputable painter involves conducting thorough research. Start by asking for referrals from friends or family, or check online reviews and ratings. Look for painters with a strong portfolio of previous work and make sure they are licensed and insured to protect yourself from potential liabilities.
What should I consider when choosing paint colors?
When choosing paint colors, consider factors such as lighting, room size, and the desired mood. Lighter colors can make a room feel more spacious, while darker shades can create a cozy atmosphere. It's also essential to test paint samples on the wall to see how they look at different times of the day before making a final decision.
How long does a typical painting project take?
The duration of a painting project can vary widely depending on the size of the area being painted and the complexity of the job. Small residential rooms may only take a day or two, while larger projects, such as entire homes or commercial buildings, can take a week or more. Factors like weather (for exterior work) and the need for additional prep work can also affect timelines.
What preparation is needed before painting?
Before painting, several preparations are essential for achieving the best results. This includes cleaning the surfaces to remove any dirt or grease, repairing imperfections like holes or cracks, and taping off areas to protect trim and fixtures. Depending on the surface, priming may also be necessary to ensure proper adhesion of the paint.
Are there eco-friendly paint options available?
Yes, many painters in Baltimore offer eco-friendly paint options, which are low in volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and made from sustainable materials. These paints are a healthier choice for indoor air quality and come in a wide range of colors. When selecting paint, ask your painter about their eco-friendly options and any certifications they may have.
What are the costs associated with hiring a painter?
The costs of hiring a painter can vary based on several factors, including the size of the project, the type of paint used, and the painter's experience. Most painters charge by the square footage or offer a flat rate for specific rooms. It's wise to obtain multiple quotes and ask for a detailed breakdown of costs to understand what you're paying for.
Do I need to be home during the painting process?
While it's not always necessary to be home during the painting process, many homeowners prefer to be available to answer questions and ensure everything meets their expectations. If you cannot be home, it's a good idea to establish clear communication with your painter beforehand and provide any necessary instructions for accessing the areas to be painted.
What should I do if I’m not satisfied with the work?
If you are not satisfied with the painting work, the first step is to communicate your concerns with the painter directly. Reputable painters should be willing to correct any issues. If problems persist and cannot be resolved, you may need to consider further action, such as discussing compensation or reaching out to a local contractor's board for guidance.
How do I maintain my painted surfaces after the job is done?
Maintaining your painted surfaces involves regular cleaning and touch-ups as needed. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the paint. Instead, use a gentle cleaner and a soft cloth for routine maintenance. Lastly, scheduling periodic repainting or touch-ups can help keep your surfaces looking fresh over time.
