Great experience with this painting crew on our office exterior. Professional, on time, and the prep work (power washing, scraping, sanding) really showed in the final finish — smooth, even coat with clean lines. They worked around our business hours without disrupting clients or staff, and cleaned up after themselves each day. Highly recommend!

Ellison Painting came out and painted the exterior of my house. They powerwashed, taped off windows/gutters and painted the exterior, and did an excellent job. Everyone that I worked with was so professional, polite, friendly and helpful to work with. Pricing was very reasonable. I highly recommend Ellison Painting for any painting needs.

Couldn’t be happier. Ellison painted the exterior of our home and garage. The conditions that week were HOT and air quality not ideal, but they got the job done. The quality of the painting is excellent. The house is stunning.

We had an excellent experience with Ellison Painting and couldn’t be happier with the results. From the initial walkthrough to the final walkthrough, the entire team was professional, communicative, and truly incredible to work with.
Juan, the crew manager, and John, the project manager, were especially amazing throughout the entire process. They kept us consistently updated, were incredibly friendly, and paid close attention to every detail. Their workmanship was meticulous, and it was clear they genuinely cared about delivering high-quality results.
This was a big investment and an important project for our family, so choosing the right company mattered—and Ellison exceeded our expectations. Seeing the transformation of our home has been so rewarding, and we genuinely smile every time we pull into the driveway.
The whole crew went above and beyond, and the finished exterior looks beautiful. I would confidently recommend Ellison Painting to anyone looking to have their home painted. You will not be disappointed!
