Jason did a fantastic job for us. We had dozens of small places around the house that needed to be repaired, patched, primed and painted. He did it all and for the best price we could find. Would hire him again in a second.

Jason did a tremendous job painting the interior of our home. It was a rather large job and very high ceilings. He was able to accomplish quickly and with great detail. Will use again in the future and recommend to others.

I interviewed 4 painting companies for a large interior painting project and hired Kerstons. This was a very expensive project and it was very important that I hire a painter that was going to deliver and this company did. I could not get over how perfect the lines were. You can trust this company and that's important, plus they do great work.

Skilled With Old-Growth Wood Trim

We work in Pittsburgh's residential neighborhoods regularly, serving homes in Squirrel Hill, Shadyside, Lawrenceville, the South Side, Point Breeze, and beyond. Every project gets the same attention to detail and the same standard of work, whether it is a Victorian foursquare in Point Breeze, a brick rowhouse in Lawrenceville, or a single room in a Highland Park apartment. We have spent over 15 years working on the city's mix of historic homes and modern properties. You get a fully insured, family owned crew that homeowners here have trusted since 2008.

Familiar With East End Neighborhoods

Nearly half of Pittsburgh's city-wide housing stock was built before 1939. In neighborhoods like Squirrel Hill, Point Breeze, and Lawrenceville, that means Victorian foursquares, brick rowhouses, and Craftsman-era homes with original plaster walls, old-growth wood trim, and exterior surfaces that have weathered decades of hard winters. These homes require a painter who understands proper prep, the right primers for aged surfaces, and breathable coatings for older brick, not just someone with a brush and a bucket.

Frequently Asked Questions

What painting services do you offer in Pittsburgh?

We handle the full range of interior and exterior work across the city's neighborhoods. That covers interior painting, exterior painting, commercial painting, cabinet painting, wallpaper removal, and drywall repair including popcorn ceiling removal. View all of our services.

Will I get the same crew and the same standard of work?

Yes. Every job gets the same crew and the same attention to detail. Whether your home is in Squirrel Hill, Lawrenceville, or the South Side, we approach the project the same way, and scope, timeline, and pricing are set by the work itself.

What sets your painting work apart?

This market has hundreds of painting contractors, and most of them treat every job the same way. We come at it differently. We are family owned and have been painting in this area since 2008. We treat every home like it is the only one on our schedule that week, whether it is a Squirrel Hill Victorian, a Lawrenceville rowhouse, or a single bedroom in the South Side. The result is work that holds up, customers who refer us, and a 4.9 rating across 50+ reviews on Thumbtack.

How do you handle older homes with plaster walls and wood trim?

Older homes here, particularly in neighborhoods like Squirrel Hill, Point Breeze, Shadyside, and Lawrenceville, often have original plaster walls, narrow wood trim, and brick exteriors that need a more careful approach than newer construction. Plaster requires proper priming to seal the surface before paint goes on. Old-growth wood trim needs thorough prep and flexible caulking to hold up through the freeze-thaw winters. We have been working on homes like these for over 15 years and understand what these surfaces need. Our drywall repair service can also address any cracked plaster before painting begins.

Do the winters here make exterior painting more difficult?

Pittsburgh's climate is genuinely hard on exterior paint. The region sees over 44 inches of snowfall per year and more than 100 nights below freezing. In neighborhoods across the city, shaded north-facing facades also deal with mildew pressure from the city's river-valley humidity. The key is timing. We schedule exterior painting between May and October, with the sweet spot being May through June and September through October when temperatures and humidity cooperate. Good prep, quality caulking, and the right paint products are what make an exterior job last here.
