About Color House Painters, Philadelphia’s Trusted Painting Experts Since 2015
Color House Painters is a licensed and insured painting contractor working on homes and businesses across Center City, Rittenhouse Square, Fishtown, and every Philadelphia neighborhood.
Philadelphia Painters, Through and Through
Color House Painters has been painting Philadelphia homes and businesses since 2015. The operating idea has stayed the same the whole time: do the prep right, use professional-grade paint, and stand behind the work in writing.
We started small. One crew, word-of-mouth referrals, and a rule about never cutting corners. That rule grew us from a one-truck operation into a company painting homes and businesses in every neighborhood of the city.
We know Philadelphia. The rowhomes, the plaster walls, the painted brick, the commercial corridors. That local knowledge shows up in the prep decisions we make on every job.

What We Stand For
Preparation First
The quality of a paint job is decided before the first drop hits the wall. Cleaning, sanding, patching, and priming come first on every project, no exceptions.
Professional-Grade Paint
Paint chosen for each project, matched to the substrate, the environment, and the finish you want. Never contractor-grade or store-brand commodity paint.
Honest Estimates
Our estimates are detailed, written, and walked through with you. You'll know exactly what's included and exactly what we're doing. No surprises at the end of the job.
Respect for Your Space
We protect your furniture, floors, and belongings. We clean up after ourselves completely. And we treat your home or business with the same care we'd give our own.
Consistent Quality
Every job gets the same attention, from a single room to a full building. Our standards don't change based on project size.
We Fix It Before We Leave
We do a final walkthrough on every project. If anything doesn't meet your expectations, we fix it on the spot, and we don't leave until you're happy.
Licensed, Insured & Ready to Work
Color House Painters is fully licensed and insured in Pennsylvania. We carry general liability and workers' compensation on every project, protecting you, your property, and our team.
