I am thrilled that we chose DGP Painting for our interior house painting and wallpaper install! This was my first time requesting an interior paint project, and I knew they were the right company for the job when the project manager (Stephen - who worked on our quote) saw around corners and asked questions I hadn't thought of myself. The job took about 5 days, and Armando, the painter, knocked it out of the park with the quality of work done, which included drywall/baseboard repair, corner guard removal, paint and a wallpaper install. All was done exactly as we requested, all of our items and floors were covered securely, and they left the house very clean upon job completion. We WILL be calling DGP again when we're ready to paint our upstairs walls! Thank you DGP, Armando, Stephen, and Eddie for your support on our project! read more

My experience with DGP painters was extremely frustrating and disappointing. They prolonged this project significantly because they were not putting in the required time or manpower. They had 19 days to paint 4,000 square feet without interruption but could not get it done. In the end, it took 26 days and they caused me significant unnecessary stress, and left problems that I will have to pay someone else to fix. However, I would rather pay someone else than allow them back into my house. In fact, I believe that they lied by telling me multiple times that they were working towards making various deadlines, then making almost no effort to meet those deadlines and not acknowledging their passing. They consistently blamed whomever they could for their lack of progress, even when they had ample opportunities to complete their work without interruption from others. They did not take accountability at any point. When we have discussed delays, Stephen and Archie frequently cite interruption from the other contractors. Other than a mold remediator, whose work could not be paused due to safety issues, I did not allow the other contractors into the house until 19 days after the start of the project, which was far after both their initial and subsequent estimates for when they would be done. Similarly, I have repeatedly communicated to Archie and Stephen that I did not expect them to complete the work in the areas that have been quarantined by mold remediation before our move-in date. That means that I was expecting them to paint less of the house than we initially had talked about, which should have taken them less time. I also communicated with Stephen about when I have intended to have the other contractors start ahead of time. I have visited the job site nearly every day since before the start of the project, sometimes multiple times a day because it is close to my work. I have seen what areas have progressed and what areas have not. I have communicated with my contractors frequently. At no point has DGP taken responsibility for the delays. DGP has been incredibly frustrating to work with. I have tried to be patient and polite, but they have made that extremely challenging. I hope that sharing my experience can help others avoid DGP painters. I have outlined our conversations in a google doc to explain why I have drawn these conclusions because my initial review significantly exceeded the character count for Yelp. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YBXpGzUrLDE9EKrultvriv-hMcBffOqt2YF_F41A60I/edit?usp=sharing read more

I have worked with Stephen and Eddie at DGP a number of times and have always had a great painting experience. These are guys are real pros and their team takes great pride in their work. I highly recommend them for interior and exterior paint, but they have a lot of capabilities outside of that as well! read more

High Quality Service with Sage Advice Our home had not been painted in too many years. Peeling paint, exposed wood, alligatoring, rotten wood...and then it was determined that lead abatement was needed. Archie, the owner, guided us through this process without any charges for his advice and ensuring the lead abatement company did the work properly. Thus, protecting the painting crew and ensured that we received the quality work for which we were paying. Then the DGP crew came to wash, prepare, and paint this historic home. It is beautiful! Neighbors' compliments and our happiness with the quality of the work made it all worthwhile. The home looks new and the historic windows properly cared for in the process. During the painting process as well as after, Archie and the crew of Miguel and Juan, provided advice in caring for the exterior over the next few years ourselves so that the look will last for many years. We are going to follow their advice and have them come in for touch-ups and a quality handwash in a few years to NEVER have these problems again. Posted in gratitude for DGP, We Paint Austin. read more

DGP Painting - Fresh Paint by DGP Austin - Painters Near Me - Austin, Texas

Buying a new home is stressful. From showings, to negotiations, to closing and then to buttoning it all up to have it move-in ready. Once I closed, I stopped by my new home (without furniture/art/etc) only to find a lot more work ahead of me; discoloration on the walls, holes that needed filling, overall corrections, etc. Utilizing yelp, I sent a number of messages to local painters in Austin only to find DGP. I was given a written estimate contingent on a site visit. The initial estimate was hundreds lower than others so I agreed to an on-site to see if we could bridge the gap. They met me a few days late, assessed the job and stuck by their quote; done! Ill preface by saying that I wasn't expecting much - I just wanted it to be move in ready, not mind blowing. I was mind blow at the work done. The walls were crisp white, the imperfections were corrected and perfected, the patches filled and everything was done in ONE DAY! (600 SqFt condo). Upon initial inspection, I was in awe. One week later, Im still in awe. I couldn't be happier. Communication was open, price couldn't be beat and work was off the charts. If you're looking for a local painter, look no further. Thanks guys! read more

DGP Painting - Painters Near Me - Austin, Texas

In recent months DGP Painting has painted our home, window trim, and patio flooring; they've also stained our wrap-around soffits and did corrective stain work (by hand) to our entire fence after a different crew associated with a different contractor botched the job. From start to finish DGP is hands down the best. In the beginning they connected us with a color consultant to help us shore up color choices, communication is always prompt, they are highly knowledgeable about their craft and use quality product, schedules run as expected, and the work is meticulous - it looks outstanding from both near and far. When we gathered bids DGP was not the least expensive, but we chose them based on other glowing reviews and a positive experience at our initial consult. So glad we did - they delivered the highest quality of work and customer service. We constantly receive compliments on the refreshed exterior and love the finished appearance of our home. Highest recommendation for DGP Painting and any of their services! read more

DGP made the painting process so easy - probably the best experience I've had with hiring someone to work on my house. Working with the office manager, Paul, made making appointments and payments fast and efficient. Working with Archie to get the estimate done and the work started was also great; he's knowledgable and honest about the amount of prep work that will need to be done. The written estimate was timely and very detailed so you know exactly what you're paying for. They started and finished when promised, stayed on budget, and ultimately did a great job. The painters were very nice (to both myself and my dog who barked at them all day) and took care to protect the surrounding areas and pay attention to the details of their work. The only thing that I didn't like was that they painted the black hinges of our gate, but really, the hinges could have been replaced anyway so that's what we did. DGP did offer to remove the paint for us but it was just easier to replace the hinges since they're not expensive. Just a lesson learned when getting the house painted! Overall, I highly recommend DGP and would certainly use them again. read more

DGP Painting - Front porch after painting by DGP - Painters Near Me - Austin, Texas

We loved the result of the exterior painting work and deck staining that DGP painting did for us! They were great to work with from the start. Very responsive, quick to get me a quote, and I did get several other competing bids, and they were able to beat the others. I worked with them to add things to the quote to make sure they were equivalent on things I wanted done, and they were quick to add the additional items. When I asked about the type of paint and deck staining, they clarified what they were using. I do have Brazilian hardwood on my deck, so I needed to direct them to use Australian timber oil (as they didn't know at first that it needed a special material), but it was no problem to get it switched with no additional cost quoted. They were able to schedule me right away and offered me a winter discount. They told me the job might take 6 days but it took 4.5. They started on a Monday and were done by Friday midday. Their warranty is lower than other companies and they require a 50% deposit upfront but they had very good insurance and they use 2 coats of paint included in the price that they quote. Other companies wanted to charge more for the second coat. They said they sometimes do 3 coats. I grilled them on what a second coat actually means: "do you let it dry between applying coats?" And the answer was while they do rotate around the house, they make sure it's dry to the touch before applying the second coat. This was good enough for me, and should not need to repaint my house now for 8-10+ years. Thanks for the good work on my home! read more

Very happy with them and would use them again. They painted interior of our 4000sf house and some of the exterior (front porch). This was at the time when our other contractor was remodeling our kitchen. The kitchen contractor, among other things, built the kitchen cabinets and had his painter paint the kitchen cabinets. This was a mistake - the kitchen cabinets paint job from the kitchen contractor was horrible. So we called DGP painting to fix this and repaint all kitchen cabinets which was much harder to do this time since the new paint had be be removed. But they did a great job, basically they fixed what the other painters messed up. The kitchen contractor agreed to cover the cost of re-painting (and this was a big loss for them). During the whole process (house interior and fixing the cabinet paint job) they were punctual, adhering to the schedule and they worked overtime. Once they started, they were on the job site every day until they finished. read more

We had Archie & his crew paint the trim and gutters of our rental property, as well as interior cabinets and walls before selling it. I thought we'd have to replace the gutters, but Archie advised us not to. Great decision -- their work to clean up & repaint made them look as good as new. The crew was on-time and friendly, and the job was finished when promised and on budget. Everything inside & outside the house looked amazing. We had 3 offers the weekend we listed it and sold at full ask. Would definitely work with them again. read more

When we contacted DGP to see if they could do a caulk and grout removal job, we were told that our project didn't fit their monetary interest, meaning it wasn't a minimum of $1000 and casually dismissed us by telling us to go find a handyman instead because we were cheap. It was like a big slap in the face to be told our issue wasn't important enough because there wouldn't be piles of cash lining their pockets. If money grew on trees, everyone could afford their services. But as it is, us normal people will just have to make do with more professional and courteous handymen who do not count their dollars before the sale. read more

I have used DGP painting on a couple of jobs now. The most recent was a water leak that did damage to my office. DGP did an excellent job repairing the drywall and matching the texture. Paint looks awesome, the office is back to better condition than before the flood. They were professional, on time. I was impressed when I saw the job supervisor taking the temperature of the employees so you know they are taking extra precaution for covid. Will definitely use them again in the future. read more

DGP finished repairing and painting my home yesterday. I can't say enough about these guys. The crew working at my home did an amazing job. very clean and respectful. I will be recommending them to my Insurance clients. Great work, thank you. read more

My husband and I got 3 quotes for painting the entire interior of our home (1715 sq. ft). DGP came in as the middle price, but we choose them because of their superior customer service and Doug's interest in helping us choose the right colors for our home. Doug came out and did a color consultation with us, gave great advice, and was willing to start the project as early as possible. His team did a fantastic job! The painters were reliable and careful. We truly could not be happier with the outcome of the project and with the service provided. Thanks Doug & team! read more

I hired DGP to paint the exterior of my house.It is an older house with wood siding and I knew there was a good bit of repair and prep needed to do it right. DGP was the only bid I received that showed a commitment to prep. It was not cheap, but it was worth it. The crew spent four days preparing the house. I had other contractors say the whole job would be done in three days, including painting! The effort really shows and it looks great even though we finally decided on a flat dark blue that would highlight any flaw. I can't say enough nice things about the service we received and the commitment they showed to really making sure we would be happy with the overall experience. read more

Q: What screams "1980s" more than Burt Reynolds mustaches, Flock of Seagulls haircuts and Reganomics? A: Popcorn ceilings! That's right folks, have you bought that mid-to-late 1980s tract home in one of the close-in Austin suburbs (I'm looking at you, Gracywoods!) and are ready to invite your friends over for a party to watch some movies on Betamax, drink New Coke and admire each others' Members Only jackets? Is your wife looking awesome with her frizzy hair and all 80s sexy in her dress with shoulder pads? If so, stop the madness; before you even think about upgrading to granite countertops or getting those new window treatments, for god's sake scrape your ceilings! Cottage Cheese may be a delicious, low-fat diet-friendly snack, but it most absolutely positively does not belong on your house's ceiling. While you're busy ripping out the avocado green carpet and replacing those awful brass doorknobs with sexy brushed nickel, consider contracting Doug Gorton Professional Painting to help you with the worst and most arduous of home improvement tasks: Scraping popcorn ceilings and replacing them with knockdown or orange peel. You see folks, when I bought my 80s house, the ceilings had popcorn and the requisite 30 years of dust, dirt, cooking grease and goodness knows what else layered on them in a fine patina; after all, you can't clean the stuff. I decided to save some money and scrape them myself. After all, how hard could it possibly be? The answer, to save you the suffering that I went through is: Very hard. And very gross. And very very time consuming. Since I have grit, I did most of hte house myself, but the high ceilings in my living room gave me pause; How could I enjoy my new house if I was in a wheelchair from falling on my head? Unless your idea of a great time is having soggy 30-year-old ceiling texture dropping on your head, contract this job out. The guys at Doug Gorton gave me a professional looking, itemized bid for my high-ceilinged living room and their friendly professionals did an awesome job on the room: * They taped and plastic sheeted the whole room and lined the floor with paper and plastic wrap for the scraping and painting jobs * They were on-time both days the job took * They used top quality (Sherwin Williams Brilliance) ceiling paint * The caulked the edges between the floor and ceiling for a professional look * They took down the light fixtures for the scraping job (in my case they didn't put them back up because I asked; I sent that mid-80s stuff straight to the garbage can) * They cleaned up the workspace very well. There is only one tiny way they could have improved, and that would have been to wrap the wires to the ceiling fan and chandelier so they weren't painted over. Nevertheless, they did cap them with wire nuts for safety. Folks, this is a messy, filthy job, and very very difficult to to exactly right. Expect there to be some dust leakage into the rest of the house, and you'll probably have to mop and dust more often for a week or two, but Doug Gorton made it as painless as it could have been. read more

After a chance encounter at the Lowe's paint aisle, we brought Doug's crew in to paint the ceilings and trim for us. It looks spectacular. It's like a brand new sparkling house! And the reviews that say these guys are fast, are spot on. The work was completed in probably 6 hours. Doug is professional and a super-friendly guy to deal with too. He will break everything down for you on a spreadsheet. Nothing is left up in the air. We'll be using his services again when we get in our 12 or so new doors. He can also rent us one of his painters by the hour to assist us in rolling on paint in the rest of the house . . . that is whenever we get around to choosing colors. If only I could get Doug to choose the colors for my wife! read more

Can't say enough about how great this team is. Was quoted quickly and while it was comparable to others, DGP offered more expertise and advice on the actual paint itself and my project. Guys came and completed job faster than planned and did a fabulous job. Archie is a great leader and was very responsive to issues or questions. read more

Excellent Job! Call them first for a quote! I had Doug Gorton repaint the outside of my house, including my deck. This was a dramatic color change as well as various repairs to the wood trim around my windows. The quote process was with the owner and he did a phenomenal job explaining the process to me. He sent me a detailed quote itemizing everything they would do and the price. He also came out to set up samples when I was deciding on colors. The painting process involved two men who were very friendly and communicative. I always felt like I could request that things be fixed and they were very responsive. It took about a week to finish the job (which was a little long in my opinion) but the work was done superbly. I would strongly recommend calling DGPP to at least get a quote. The itemized list was extremely helpful in knowing what type of work needed to be done. Even though they are a bit more expensive than other painters, I really feel you get what you pay for. read more

THESE GUYS ARE AMAZING. We rented a house and decided to paint rooms in the house, time permitted us from repainting it back to the original color therefore we hired DGP. Their work was flawless, customer service was great and you can't beat their prices! Definitely recommend using them if you need anything done. Also did I mention they're local? It's nice to know customer service and satisfaction still matter these days! read more

This guy is on his game. My brother used him at his house. He had a few contractors doing things at his house and said his painting was the most painless part of the project. So when I needed to have some painting done to get my house ready to sell I gave him a call. It seems my realtor didn't think much of my color choices. The work looks great and all my interactions with Doug and his crew were painless and smooth. I will call him when I move in at my new house to paint to my taste. read more

These guys are great. Paul in the office is always responsive. Archie keeps an eye on everything and gives me good advice. The crew is careful, skilled, and a pleasure to have around. They keep my 80-year old house looking like the classic it is! read more

We recently wrapped a 3 day exterior painting job with Doug Gorton Professional Painting. To say they exceeded my expectations would be an understatement. We obtained a few quotes from other painting companies. When I met Archie from DGP Painting, I immediately felt comfortable with him and the advice he gave me on repairing a few things on the exterior before painting. Yes, their quote was higher than other estimates, but based on the amount of work they were offering (repairing siding, replacing wood, patching the garage door) I felt the price was fair. Another painting company didn't offer any repair work, just paint. The project took a crew of 3, 3 days to complete. The guys they sent to our house were very professional, friendly, meticulous and prompt. Archie came by on the first day to walk through the project again with me to make sure noting had changed. We added one small thing at a nominal cost, but other than that, there were no hidden fees or additional charges as the project was complete. They even removed old house numbers and put up new ones for us. DGP Painting uses Sherwin Williams paint and the swatches they gave us were well curated and modern. The color we ended up picking looked even better than we expected. Every once in a while I would go outside to see the progress and when I would tell the painters how good it was looking, they would nod in agreement and say that the color was really fantastic. Our early 80s house looks brand new thanks to their work. At the end of the job, they even painted our mailbox to match the house, power washed the stone work on the front of our house (looks so much better!), and power washed the sidewalk and driveway. I can't say enough good things about my experience with DGP Painting and would highly recommend them to anyone. read more

If you are looking for a painter you have to consider Doug Gorton. We purchased an older home that needed a complete interior and exterior redo. We knew we would be spending enough to purchase a small car so were a little concerned about finding that "right" company. Overall, DGP did a great job. Doug was great throughout the whole process. We received a very detailed quote. He gave great advice on mixing colors to get that perfect one. From baseboards, ceilings, cabinets, doors and more, our house looks great!! read more

As we're preparing our home for the market, we hired DGP after reviewing several options. Doug came over with an assistant and did a thorough walk-through, and gave us a very competitive estimate. On the day of the paint job, Doug and his crew came right on time. He also carefully instructed the crew on the scope of the work before he left. Now here's where DGP earns their five stars. Before leaving, Doug pointed out some corners that needed extra care. We didn't catch this during the initial walk-through, but he still had his crew fix it without extra charge. On top of that, when I voiced our concern for matching paint, Doug gladly switched to Behr Premium, which I know is more expensive than Sherwin Williams that was contracted for. Onto the work itself. Perhaps it's a case of 'following the leader', but his crew really did a fantastic job. The details count with us and they were as detailed as I could hope for. This includes taping down every corner (some painters do not do this!), laying down paper and plastic on each floor surface, cleaning any other surface that may have gotten paint splashes, and doing three coats wherever needed. Overall, I'd highly recommend DGP for any painting needs your house may need. I cannot imagine any other company doing a better job than Doug and his fanstastic crew. read more

Love DGP Painting. So happy with the color and quality and price of our exterior paint job. Archie is a great guy, reliable and honest. Local crew who also care about giving back to the Austin Community as donors of Dell Children's hospital. Double win - thanks guys read more

I hired DGP when I was remodeling my small business. I was a little anxious, because there was such a variety of surfaces that need to be done. We had old wood, new wood, exterior, interior, paneling and concrete. But Archie gave me a quote within a couple days and was able to get the work going right away. The work was done efficiently and I was super happy with the quality when all was finished. Also since I was in the middle of remodeling, I was working in the same space as their crew for a week, and they were super professionals. Very courteous and friendly. I will definitely hire them again. read more

Amazing locally owned and operated painting company. These guys are wonderful! Great customer service and outstanding quality. I would highly recommend DGP and would not hesitate to use them again. They painted our entire house when our last renters moved out and we moved in. I loved the color consultation and couldn't be happier with the results. read more

We recently had 2 rooms, cabinets, and a bunch of ceilings painted by DGP. From the quote process through completion, we enjoyed working with them. They ensured we understood the different options and their tradeoffs. We are thrilled with how much better our house looks now that it's been painted and highly recommend them for residential paint. read more

I'm updating my previous rating after Brent came out and personally addressed my concerns about workmanship. The crew retouched some areas and also made an effort to fix anything that wasn't to my satisfaction. I would give five stars but the clean up didn't meet my expectations. read more

Archie and the whole team at DGP are very professional, extremely knowledgable, and go the extra mile to make sure your job is done right. Thank you for all your help! read more

Couldn't be happier! Archie knows his stuff and is willing to do whatever is necessary to get the job done right. We had the entire exterior of our new house painted, broken screens removed, windows washed, and wood rot repaired. The crew worked efficiently and did a stellar job with a lot of attention to detail. With the scope of work for a two-man crew, the price was very reasonable. You won't regret choosing DGP! read more

Archie and the DGP team were great. They worked us in when we realized our timeline was a little more crunched than initially expected. Our crew was hardworking and polite, and left our new home very clean after the job. Good communication from the office as well. I appreciated the line-item pricing so what we know what we are getting into with future projects. Archie also gave me an honest perspective on our siding, which I think saved us a ton of money over what another professional had advised us. Thankful that we found DGP - will use again! Thanks Archie! read more

DGP painting is one of the best companies in Austin. Archie and his team are extremely knowledgeable about their trade and take the time to explain all of the services they offer. Their team repainted the inside of my entire house and the quality of their work is second to none. The painters were extremely professional and left the house cleaner than when they started. I cannot recommend this company enough if you're trying to find a competent and trust worthy team to paint your home. read more

We just completed a three day project painting the inside of our home. DGP was very professional to work with from start to finish. The two painters that worked on our house Cesar and Ishmael were a pleasure to work with. They respected our home and took great care in moving furniture and cleaning up behind their work. The managers Archie and Jesse made visits to check the work done and even insisted to redo some work that I would have settled with. The end product turned out awesome. I almost wish we weren't selling it now ALMOST! I will gladly recommend DGP to friends and clients and anyone that wants a great paint job at an affordable price. read more

DGP recently painted the outside of my house. The main reasons I chose them over other painters were first, they said they would hand wash the wood, and being a 1967 house, I thought that sounded good. Pressure washing the old wood, which already had damage in some places, seemed like a bad idea. Second, they repaired the rotten wood which not all painters will do. They arrived on time and finished the job in a week like they said they would (the weather cooperated). They did a great job and used premium paint, which I requested. This is likely the last exterior paint job this house will ever need (as long as I live there). DGP isn't the cheapest but they did a great job. I recommend them highly. read more

I have had Archie with DGP painting do both interior/exterior paint as well as cabinet refinishing on several projects. A couple of the projects were difficult with special hight and space considerations but DGP painting made it look easy and the finished project was great. read more

This is the easiest contractor I've ever worked with. The initial quote was so detailed they included everything they will cover and even had follow up meetings to listen to our concerns. They painted the exterior of my house, they washed, sealed every window/doors, repair stucco, repair wood and left our house looking brand new. They are professional, diligent, and very good at what they do. Rest assure their work will succeed your expectations. read more
