★★★★★ David and House Hues did an amazing job on our 1892 home… He and his team did an unbelievable amount of prep work and their attention to detail is astonishing… We could not be happier with the end result.
MMike & Lulu YeltonGoogle review
★★★★★ David is my go-to painter, especially for historic homes—he knows plaster, intricate moldings, historic windows—so well… He’s executed everything from high gloss to matte finishes, interiors and exteriors, for me and my clients.
MMelissa Ewen, interior designerGoogle review
★★★★★ House Hues exceeded every expectation. David painted our entire home after a renovation, and his attention to detail is outstanding… One of the highlights is our main railing, which he finished in a gorgeous, gloss black.

Interior, exterior and cabinet painting in Pittsburgh

The three services the calculator prices. Each one starts with preparation, because that decides whether a finish lasts two years or twenty.

Freshly painted hallway with white walls and doors leading to a window

Interior painting

Cracks repaired, nail holes filled and rough spots sanded before primer goes on. Then clean lines where walls meet ceilings and trim, even coverage and a consistent sheen.

Exterior painting

Power washing, scraping, sanding, wood repair and priming, then premium coatings chosen for Western Pennsylvania weather. Wood siding, brick and fiber cement.

White painted kitchen cabinets with brass hardware

Cabinet painting & refinishing

Doors and hardware come off. Surfaces are cleaned, repaired and sanded, then sprayed in thin coats, sanded between each, for a finish that looks factory-applied.

Meet the founder behind House HUES

“I started House Hues in 2019 with a clear intention: to approach painting differently. Too often, residential painting is treated as a race; rushed schedules, cut corners, and little respect for the homes people live in.”

“My background is in restoration work, where details aren’t optional and shortcuts don’t survive. Working on older homes teaches you quickly that quality can’t be faked.”

“I’m not interested in being the largest painting company in Pittsburgh. I’m focused on doing work I’m proud of.”
Why House Hues

We’re not the cheapest. We’re the most deliberate.

Prep decides how long it lasts

Repairs, sanding and the right primer come first. It takes longer, and it’s the only way to a finish that holds up.

Materials we trust

Fine Paints of Europe, Benjamin Moore Advance, Sherwin-Williams ProClassic, authentic lime and plaster. Chosen for how they age, not for price.

Your home, treated like ours

Clean workspaces, polite crews, furniture and floors covered. You shouldn’t have to stress about contractors in your home.

No surprise add-ons

After the walkthrough you get an itemized estimate: the work, the materials and the cost, with no vague allowances.

FAQ

Common questions

How accurate is the online estimate?

It’s a ballpark range based on what you enter. Final pricing is confirmed after an on-site or virtual walkthrough, where we look at surface conditions and agree on the exact scope. That estimate is itemized, so you can see what each part of the job costs.

What happens after I submit?

You see your range on the screen right away, and House Hues gets your details and the range you were shown. We’ll reach out to talk through the project and set up a walkthrough if it’s a good fit.

What paints do you use?

It depends on the surface. Fine Paints of Europe for high gloss work, cabinet-specific lines such as Benjamin Moore Advance and Sherwin-Williams ProClassic, and authentic lime and plaster for specialty finishes.

Do you paint exteriors year-round?

No. We don’t paint exteriors from December through March, because a finish applied in Western Pennsylvania winter weather won’t last. Interior and cabinet projects are scheduled through the winter.

How do you protect my home while you work?

Furniture and floors are covered before any prep starts, and the crew keeps the workspace clean every day. You shouldn’t have to live around a mess.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. House Hues LLC is licensed and insured in Pennsylvania, PA contractor registration PA164478.
