What They Say
Testimonials
“We spent three months agonizing over the exterior color. James came out, looked at the house for twenty minutes, and presented three schemes — all of them perfect. The gray he recommended catches the light differently at every hour. It’s exactly what this house deserved.”

“I’ve worked with dozens of painters over fifteen years. Anchor & Brush understands heritage color better than any painter I’ve collaborated with. They know how a room’s light changes through the day, how adjacent colors interact, how a finish will age. They’re not painters — they’re craftsmen.”

“The finish on our kitchen cabinets is so smooth that every guest assumes we replaced them. When I tell them they were painted on site, nobody believes me. The prep work took four days. The painting took two. That ratio tells you everything about this company.”

Kitchen Cabinet Refinishing
“The Victorian required a seven-color scheme across the body, trim, sash, brackets, and decorative panels. Most painters would have talked us out of it. Anchor & Brush drew up the scheme, painted three sample boards, and executed it flawlessly. The detail on the ornamental brackets alone is worth the drive to see.”

“Living on the water means salt air eats paint for breakfast. James specified products I’d never heard of and explained exactly why the standard options would fail within three years. Two years in, the cedar shingles still look like they were stained yesterday.”

“They taped nothing and the lines are perfect. Every ceiling, every window, every door frame — cut in by hand. Our contractor warned us the renovation paint would take a week. Anchor & Brush finished in four days and left the house cleaner than they found it.”
