David Docherty Painting was responsive to my request for an estimate, communicated effectively to set up a time and provided a quote that was fair. They began the work the next day and father and son worked efficiently on our interior and exterior projects. They were careful and clean when working in the home. They communicated expectations effectively and stopped to update me throughout the stages of the project. I’m happy with the work they did. It gave new life to our old garage as well as the interior rooms they worked on. Would recommend the to anyone who needs interior or exteriorpainting.

David and his son Dave were absolutely 100% in all areas! We needed an apartment painted and with the snow they maneuvered without hassle. Excellent results! Hire these guys for your next painting job!

Docherty Contracting was very quick to reply to my initial request for an estimate on exteriorpainting and got me on the schedule right away. They explained their process and what to expect, and followed it exactly as they said. I couldn't be happier with their professionalism and the quality of work they delivered. Would highly recommend to others and will definitely be using them again.

David has truly brought our home back to life!
The work was done so well that I actually get excited to come home from work just to admire it. We were originally planning to replace our siding, but David saved us a significant amount of money by painting our existing aluminum siding instead and it looks amazing.
If you're even considering replacing your siding, I highly recommend having David take a look first. You won’t be disappointed. Thanks a million Dave
