What they say about us

We loved working with Matt and would recommend him to everyone we know. In addition to being a highly-skilled and meticulous painter, he’s reliable, responsive, considerate and extremely trustworthy. Our project had a lot of challenges (old Fan house, plaster damage, water infiltration, etc.), and he was patient and accommodating from start to finish. I don’t think I could ever have found a better partner for our job, which included painting of all ceilings, walls and trim. Matt is simply the best.

Penmar Painting Co was an absolute dream to work with. Matt was extremely professional and communicative throughout the entire process. We turned our 1960s tri-level into a unified look. Our siding, chimney, railing, brick, and trim were all painted to perfection. I’ve had numerous neighbors and friends comment on how great of a job he did. When he was finished, there was no trace that he was even here, which I’ve come to find really matters with contractors! Would recommend Matt and Penmar to anyone looking to update the exterior of their home. 10/10 job
