Ted Kazantzis

The third floor of our row home had two dormers in terrible condition with rotting wood needing extensive restoration (the closeup shows the extent of the damage). Jonathan and his crew repaired the parts that could be salvaged, fabricated and replaced the parts that needed complete replacement and painted the newly refurbished dormers. The results are outstanding (see the after picture of the finished dormer) and we highly recommend Philadelphia House Painting. Jonathan was a pleasure to deal with, and his crew was polite, skilled and left the location immaculate.

We had our house and garage painted Fall 2025. There was a fair bit of wood patching and repairs needed. The work was done very well integrating the patches into the 100+ year old existing wood work. I'm pleased with the quality and attention to detail of the painting. Also the crew was friendly and tidy.

Philadelphia House Painting did an incredible job restoring and painting our Cornice and Front door. John was very communicative about when he would arrive and depart and helped make the end result better than we could have hoped! I work in the construction industry and these guys are top notch.

David Krueger

This is a top quality business and they should be the first choice for historic restoration in the Philly area. In addition to repainting our porch, restoring proper motar lines in the brick facade, and refinishing the original door, they masterfully rehabiliated the shutters that I had assumed were beyond repair. The owner has great vision for historical restoration and the crew was very courteous and professional. I would definitely work with them again.

Claudette MacNeil

I cannot say enough about how amazing Philadelphia House Painting and Historical Restoration is. They are more than just painters. They are truly craftsmen. When we first met Jonathan to get an estimate to paint our 3 story / 35 windowed home, he was very professional, knowledgeable,and friendly. He also had a lovely vision of what this old house could become. AND his incredible crew (Joe, Corey and Chris) absolutely CRUSHED IT!!!! People walk past our house all of the time now to tell us it has never looked as amazing as it does now. They made our house look like an magical home!!! What a labor of love it was! I have attached before and after photos to show how we went from brown and cream to Farrow & Ball tones of grey and black that made this house POP! The love and care taken to restore all of the decorative metal pieces, and the rotting windowsills, and the old crumbling moldings was unparalleled. These gentlemen worked tirelessly through some pretty sweltering days on lifts and ladders reaching to the sky. Corey made our crumbling turret the crown jewel! Chris has the steadiest hand I have ever seen with amazing attention to detail. Joe is a magician with a paint sprayer, making all of our decorative tin work look brand new. I LOVE PHP&HR!!!
