David was awesome! Came out for free estimate on a Tuesday and had the job started and completed that upcoming Monday. He came over for a walk through afterwards to make certain we were 100% happy before he collected payment. Will definitely recommend and use for future projects.

I can't say enough good things about the service this company provided! Mr. Docherty was so nice as well as professional and on time. When he gave a time of arrival he was there at least 5 minutes before the appointment. He pressure washed my home to get it ready for painting and threw in doing the gutters as well. I would definitely recommend this company. Great job!

The quality of work was very poor. I emailed him about returning to fix the issue. He responded by email that he would come back out to fix the issues. He has not returned. I would not recommend him.

David and his son power washed our walkway and steps for a reasonable price. He was polite and professional, arrived at the time promised, and was careful to not damage the garden. We were very pleased with the results.

David Docherty and his son did a truly outstanding job of painting our 216-year-old farmhouse. Their preparation and painting were of the highest quality, meticulous, and completed on time. Moreover, both father and son were a pleasure to work with. I am on the buildings and grounds committee at our church and will be recommending we call upon David Docherty for future painting needs there. My husband and I will readily contact David again should we need other painting done here at home. This family-owned business gets an A+ from us.

David and his son were absolutely wonderful to work with. They are a father son company and from the moment I met David, I knew he was the one I wanted to work with. I got quotes from 3 companies for painting the exterior of our home including trim, shutters and floors of our concrete porch. They were very competitive in price and went above and beyond in customer service. I made the mistake of choosing a wrong color for part of our project and David made sure the job wasn t done until I was completely satisfied (even though I was the one who made the mistake with color). I would HIGHLY recommend David Docherty Painting to ALL of my friends and family. I will personally be using them again in the future! Thank you for the FANTASTIC job!

He was nice and down to earth to talk to you. He responds quickly to call or email. We had him power wash and re-stain our large deck. Then job was done on time and it looks great! Would hire him again!
