What Our Clients Say

We hired Painters of Washington DC to repaint our entire first floor — living room, dining room, hallways, and all the trim. The prep work was impeccable. They sanded every baseboard, patched two small drywall cracks, and masked everything with precision. The finished walls have a smooth, even tone that completely transformed the space. Truly professional residential painters.

— Homeowner, Washington DC

Our row house exterior in Capitol Hill needed serious attention — peeling paint on the trim, faded siding, and a front door that had seen better days. The team handled everything from power washing to priming to the final coats. The curb appeal difference is remarkable. Neighbors have already asked for the contact information.

— Property Owner, Capitol Hill

I manage several rental properties in Arlington and needed a reliable painting crew for turnover repaints. They completed three units in one week — clean lines, no mess, and the tenants were impressed. The low-VOC paint option was a huge plus for quick move-ins.

— Property Manager, Arlington VA

The cabinet refinishing work in our Georgetown kitchen was outstanding. Instead of replacing everything, they sanded, primed, and applied a beautiful matte finish that looks like brand-new cabinetry. The attention to detail on the door edges and hardware areas was exceptional.
