Ryan Fleming2025-04-17Image Painting did my window trim this spring. I was very happy with the results!
Matt Edwards2025-03-24They did my house in Clifton, VA in March 2025. Unlike some painting companies that just want to paint but don't really care to do other important stuff like carpentry / repairing rotted wood), the guys at Image Painting were full-service and attentive to the whole scope of work. They did a walkthrough beforehand so it was clear what I needed done; kept in touch with me throughout the job, such as when weather-related schedule adjustments were needed; they let me know when their guys ran across issues or had questions, and basically did everything they said they were gonna do, on-time and for a fair price. They even did a closeout walkthrough to make sure I was satisfied with the work. These guys do stuff the right way.
Jean Nordhaus2025-03-24They always do quick, good work. Reliable and honest. I wouldn’t use any other painting company.
Whitney Calvert2025-03-12We had drywall repair and painting done by Image Painting and are very pleased with their work! An added bonus: we didn't need to prepare for their arrival by moving anything for them -- they did a great job moving and covering everything that needed moving and covering. Highly recommend them!
Ioana Tzatcheva2025-02-25I engaged Image Painting to close some ceiling gaps throughout the house and to repair some water damage from a roof leak in one room. That damage turned out to be more substantial than initially estimated, so it led to a change order and to removing half of the old plaster ceiling and replacing it with drywall. Their team worked very diligently and the end result is a seamless blending between the old and new structure. Every day they reported to work at 8 am, laid down protective coverings, and cleaned up at the end of their work day. The project manager was checking in often on the progress of the project. I would recommend their services.
Jeff Hart2025-02-20Did a great job repairing and painting after a roof leak. Detail orientated and careful to protect carpets, floors, furniture, etc.
Ryan Gardner2025-02-17Image did a fantastic job with our primary bedroom, hallway, and half bath. They answered all of our questions, communicated well, and just did a great pain job in general. They even fixed our bedroom door to help it close better. They also removed old painted-over wallpaper. I would use them again!
Ann MacPhail2025-02-16Great communication! Employees were professional and kept me informed. The painter did a great job and cleaned up afterwards. The job was completed a little earlier than expected.
