Our Promise
A lot of people worry about the same things before they hire a painter: mess, noise, unclear timelines, and crews coming and going.
We work in occupied homes all the time, so we’re set up to be efficient, quiet, and clean. We protect your space, keep things organized, and clean up daily so your home still feels livable during the project.
And when the job is done, it’s backed by our 5-year written guarantee.
About The Founder
David Forrester
Like the company name suggests, painting has been in my family for a long time — 3 generations, actually. So yes, you could say paint runs in my blood.

Painting is a simple trade. But when it’s done properly — with care, patience, and pride — it makes a real difference in how a home feels.
The Heritage Team
A Core Crew You Can Count On
We’re built around a core crew — many of whom have been with us for years. We value honesty, hard work, and loyalty. Our core painters have 7 to 25 years of experience, and during the summer, the team may grow to meet demand.
Training and Standards
We keep standards high. New painters go through stages of on-the-job evaluation and apprenticeship before working independently.
We move people through projects of increasing complexity and also pay attention to temperament and consistency.

Common Questions
FAQs
How far in advance should I book my project?
Booking timelines vary by season: exterior projects usually require 6–8 weeks lead time in the summer, while interior work ranges from 1–5 weeks depending on the time of year. We recommend reaching out early to secure your preferred dates.
What do I need to do before the painters arrive?
What happens if you find damage or rot during prep?
If we discover stains, drywall damage, or wood rot, we’ll pause and notify you immediately. Small fixes are often handled on the house, but for larger repairs, we’ll provide clear pricing for your approval before we proceed.
