As a Realtor, I have to trust the contractors who help my clients with their homes. Tenleytown Painting always deliver superior results for very reasonable pricing. I've referred clients to Tenleytown Painting for almost 20 years and will continue to do so.

Our condo was badly in need of painting, the exterior facade had paint peeling and needed some repointing and window trim repairs and the exterior metal stairs were rusted after 10+ years. We checked with a few vendors and Tenleytown Painting gave us the best estimate and were easy to work with to schedule the project. They completed the project on schedule and did an outstanding job. It looks like a new building!! Wilfred the foreman and his crew were total professionals, communicative with the HOA throughout, on time and friendly, cleaned up everything. Most importantly, the quality of their work and attention to detail was exceptional. They are perfectionists and it showed. We are completely satisfied and recommend this company 100%.

We own a 100-year old wood-sided home in Falls Church. The exterior had not been painted in over 20 years. Paint was peeling all over the structure and there was rotted wood in multiple places. The wood shutters were broken and the front steps damaged from wood rot. Tenleytown Painting brought the place back to like-new condition. They replaced rotted wood, prepped the exterior and painted the house, and it looks fantastic now. The owner Eric is professional and responsive. He gave us an estimate and an estimated start date, and he met his commitment on both. Great painting firm.

Can’t recommend enough. Founder Erik Blitte showed at my house right on time for an estimate—and quickly got me on their calendar. Their painters Will, Yony, Hubert, and one more whose name I didn’t catch—all brothers!—showed right on schedule and displayed a craftsmanship that you just don’t see anymore. All four brothers were friendly, patient, and talented. In fact, I’ve already asked Tenleytown Painting to paint some more rooms at my house this fall.

We bought a century old house in Cleveland Park that was a bit of a dream realized. Tenleytown Painting came highly recommended for painting and other work. They exceeded our expectations. Erik is a professional through and through, always listening but ready with insights and filled with knowledge about house’s historic value. Even in this crazy time with supply chains, etc., he met all deadlines and price estimates. Finally, Erik’s crew is professional, skilled, hard-working, and take genuine pride in their work. We love our home all the more thanks to Erik and his work. I’d recommend Tenleytown Painting without hesitation and look forward to working with them in the future. Janis L.
