I had my kitchen cabinets painted. Ben was quick and responsive to all communication from the very beginning to the very end, and was thorough in description of the scope leading up to the actual project. His crew worked effectively and completed the whole process faster than anticipated!

Ben from Grit City Painting was recommended to me for painting the entire interior of my 3,000 sq ft home. This was a great recommendation. Ben was always professional. He was thorough, prompt in communication. He checked in with me before, during and upon completion of paint project. The painting to include the millworker was exceptional. I would highly recommend Ben and team for your next project.

Our experience with Grit City Painters was incredible! Ben walked us through the entire house painting project step by step, answered questions fully, and made reasonable suggestions for where the different colors should go to make our house look better. He maintained consistent communication before, during, and after getting our house painted. He is very knowledgeable, and we greatly appreciate his expertise and personality. I highly recommend Grit City Painters for all your painting needs.

Our mid century modern looks like the cover of Dwell after Grit City did a fantastic job for us. Get in line, they are worth the wait. They were all so nice to work with too

Haley Anthony on Grit City Painters

If you need any sort of exterior painting done, these are your guys!! Luis and Hector are true craftsmen who clearly take pride in their work. They recently painted the soffits, fascia, gutters and garage door on our 1960s brick home and we couldn't be happier with their work. It may sound like a small job, but it required a lot of prep due to the poor state of our old paint and the need to protect the brick siding. They were meticulous with every detail -- no touch-ups needed at the end of the project! Plus, they handled some tricky carpentry work to repair rotted wood caused by a previous gutter leak. Other companies either quoted sky-high prices for the carpentry part of this project or didn’t feel comfortable doing it. With Grit City, we got everything done seamlessly and it saved us so much hassle. We'd hire Luis and Hector again in a heartbeat.

Special thanks to the owner, Ben, for being a great communicator and running a top-notch operation. He explained everything clearly, proactively checked in, and ensured we were happy every step of the way. Prices are fair, reasonable and transparent. Highly recommend Grit City!
