My name is David and I’ve been a professional painter for over 28 years. With a small, dedicated team of 5 I personally oversee every project to ensure you’re truly happy with the results.
I specialize in interior and exterior painting, cabinet painting, fence painting, floor coatings, drywall repair and texturing, and popcorn ceiling removal. From careful prep work to clean, detailed finishes, I treat your home with respect and care.
I’m honest, reliable, and easy to work with, and I don’t consider the job done until you’re satisfied. If you’re ready to refresh your space, I’d be happy to talk about your project and provide a quote.

David does outstanding work! The value of the service far exceeds the cost of the service. Upon requesting painting services, he responded within 15 minutes. 40 minutes later he was at the house, he gave me a quote and he returned the next morning at 7am to start. I have a 3 story house and he completed 8 plus rooms in 16 hours. I’m more than happy to say if you need this service look no further than David Cera!
Details: Home • 8+ rooms • Walls • Ceiling • 8 - 10 feet (standard ceiling) • Repainting, with same color • Excellent - clean and smooth • Homeowner or property manager • Yes, this is new construction • No, I will move things out of the way myself • Owner
