We were incredibly pleased with the work done by Whelehan painting on the exterior of our house. We've had to deal with all sorts of contractors over the years and very few have been as responsive and customer-oriented as Whelehan. Top quality job for a very reasonable price! We will definitely have them back to paint the interior.

When I walked through the house for the first time after they finished, OMG- I almost cried. They transformed this house. We had purchased a home that was very dated with wallpaper in EVERY room. Pat and his crew tore it down, prepped the walls, did the ceiling, trim, walls and everything! They also painted the entire kitchen cabinetry and all… the fireplaces. Truly exquisite work, exceptional service, professional team, and genuine people! Thank you for making my dream house perfect. Your work was extraordinary. We are SOOOOOOO happy. Would use again and again, and recommend!!

I would highly recommend Whelehan Painting, whether you need work done inside or out. They repainted trim throughout the house inside, and it really pops. Then then next day they stained the wood fence around the yard and it looks like new. They were on-time, neat and clean, very polite, and definitely pro painters. Great job, Whelehan team!
