Primary Painting has been painting homes across Vermont's Chittenden, Addison, and Grand Isle counties since 1996. We're a small, owner-operated company, and in 30 years we've worked for more than 2,500 customers in Burlington, South Burlington, Shelburne, Charlotte, Williston, Grand Isle, Panton, and the towns in between.What we do: interior and exterior residential painting, deck and trim staining, power washing, and light carpentry, including replacing rotted boards, trim, and deck framing before anything gets a finish coat. Vermont weather is hard on a house. Lake wind, ice, and sun take their toll on siding, decks, and entryways, and we would rather repair the wood underneath than paint over a problem that comes back in two years.Chris, the owner, does the estimates himself. He walks the property, talks through what you actually want done, and follows up with a written, itemized estimate by email, so you can see exactly what is included, what is optional, and what each piece costs before you commit to anything.We work with homeowners who care about the details: matching an existing stain, protecting the plantings, keeping the site clean, and finishing when we said we would. A good share of our work comes from repeat customers and from neighbors who saw our truck down the road.If you are planning a project, inside or out, we would be glad to come take a look and give you a number.

Chris and the Primary Painting crew are fabulous! They recently completed an interior job (1000 square foot)on time and on budget. I would highly recommend Primary Painting for all of your painting projects.

My experience with Primary Painting has been great! Chris and his team are helpful, knowledgeable, and skilled. They did a great job, were clear about price, answered all my question about interior and exterior painting, and got the work done on time. Give them a call!

Chris and his crew are the best! They were really responsive and communicative during the whole process. Their work is meticulous and we couldn’t be happier with the results.

Outstanding work by Chris and the Primary Painting crew. They made sure everything was covered and cleaned up thoroughly. Would 100% hire them again for future projects.

Primary Painting did both the interior and exterior of my home about five years ago, and we were very happy with the job. The crew kept things clean throughout the project, and the work itself was solid and well done. Five years later, the paint has held up well inside and out, which says a lot about the quality of their prep and workmanship. I'd recommend them to anyone in the area looking for a reliable painting company.
