Over 2,500 happy customers.

No exaggeration.

  • I was fairly sure that it was too late in the season to get my house painted - NOT SO FAST! Primary Painting was ready to do the work. Chris is very professional, they did the work on time and did it right! I will be back.

  • Before listing our home, we hired Chris to repaint the garage and several rooms to freshen everything up. He was professional, responsive, and helped us focus on the updates that would make the biggest impact for resale. The house looked brighter, cleaner, and more modern, and we truly believe it helped us attract strong offers. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Primary Painting.

  • Chris Downing and his team of painters provide exceptional service, and quality work, at a reasonable price. I retained them to completely repaint and fix trim work in a real estate client’s home. Chris was quick to show for an estimate, easy to communicate with, and not only provided the best quote, but also started the job weeks earlier than any other contractor was willing to commit. I highly recommend Chris and his team—I think you’ll be pleased.

  • I’ve worked with Chris on dozens of investment properties over the past ten years, and he’s been a huge part of our success. In the flipping world, timelines and quality are everything, and Chris consistently delivers both. His team moves fast, keeps projects on schedule, and the finished product always photographs beautifully and shows well. When you’re trying to maximize resale value, having a painter you trust makes all the difference. Chris is that guy.

    Dan, real estate investor

  • We hired Chris to paint the entire interior of our home before we moved in, and it was one of the best decisions we made. He helped us think through color choices, finished on schedule, and left everything spotless. Walking into a freshly painted home on move-in day made it feel truly ours. The quality of the work was exceptional, and the whole process was easy and stress-free.

    Katie, Shelburne

  • As a general contractor, I need subcontractors who show up, communicate clearly, and do high-quality work without constant oversight. Chris is my go-to for both interior and exterior painting. His prep work is thorough, his finishes are clean and professional, and he works seamlessly alongside other trades on site. I know when I bring Primary Painting onto a project, it’s going to be done right.
