Trusted Painting Contractors in Maryland
Mullin Painting was founded in 1984 by Mike Mullin and Julia Collins, who began operations with little more than a VW van and a ladder. Over four decades, we have built a reputation for exceptional service and quality craftsmanship, serving homeowners and businesses across Montgomery County, Washington D.C., and Northern Virginia. Our team of skilled painters and craftsmen averages over ten years of tenure, reflecting our commitment to stable, well-trained professionals who take pride in their work. We prioritize thorough preparation, problem-solving, and meticulous cleanup to ensure lasting results. Our approach includes diagnosing paint failures to address root causes like dry rot or water damage, rather than applying temporary fixes.We maintain partnerships with trusted professionals for related repairs, such as plumbing, ensuring comprehensive solutions. Our dedication to using premium materials and standing behind our work has earned us generations of repeat clients. Julia Collins continues to lead the company with the same values established by Mike, who passed away in 2020, ensuring continuity in our mission. We offer free estimates and specialize in interior/exterior painting, drywall repairs, deck staining, and home preparation for resale. Licensed and insured under MHIC #26866, we remain a family-run business focused on quality, care, and client satisfaction.
