Reviews from Charlottesville and beyond
5.0 out of 5 from 70 reviews on Google.
I’m very pleased with the experience we’ve had working with Alvarez Painting. They were reasonably priced, professional, and a pleasure to have working in our home. They did an outstanding job and left everything as clean (if not cleaner) than it was before they got here. I will definitely work with them again.
We had a fantastic experience using Alvarez Painting. They helped us repair our house after water damage - doing quite a bit of dry-walling and painting across several rooms. Not only does the work look great, they went out of their way to help us in various ways and were just generally pleasant to work with. We'll definitely be using them again (hopefully not for water damage repairs!)
Erik’s team did a fantastic job refinishing a textured ceiling and painting walls. They communicated throughout the process and left the home spotless. I would recommend them to anyone looking for home painting!

Answers before you book
How much does a painting job cost in Charlottesville, VA?
Every estimate is built from the job itself, not a flat rate. Price depends on the size of the space, the condition of the surfaces, how much prep and repair is needed, paint choice, and how many coats the job takes. We measure and inspect first, then walk you through what drives the number before any work starts.
What areas around Charlottesville do you serve?
We work throughout Charlottesville and the surrounding towns: Earlysville, Stanardsville, Crozet, Afton, Keswick, Whitehall, Ruckersville, Palmyra, Scottsville, Gordonsville, and Louisa. If you are close to one of those and unsure whether you fall inside the service area, call (434) 305-2318 and we will confirm.
How soon can you schedule a visit for an estimate?
Scheduling starts with a phone call to (434) 305-2318. We book estimates around your availability and can often arrange a visit within the same week. Once we measure and agree on the scope, we lock in a start date that works for your calendar.
How should I prepare my home before you start painting?
Very little. We move and cover furniture, protect floors with drop cloths, and handle surface preparation ourselves. If you can clear small personal items from shelves and walls, that speeds things up. On day one we confirm the plan, the colors, and the rooms in order before opening a single can.
What happens on the day the work starts?
We arrive when we said we would, walk the space with you, and lay protection over floors and furniture. Prep comes first: patching, sanding, caulking, and cleaning the surfaces. Then comes priming and painting. At the end of each day the work area is tidied, and when the job is done we remove everything we brought in.
Do you offer both interior and exterior painting?
Yes. Interior painting covers rooms, ceilings, trim, and doors, with a two-coat system and clean cutting in at edges. Exterior painting includes surface preparation like TSP washing and scuff sanding so the finish holds up to Virginia weather. Both come with a color consultation before we start.
Can you repair drywall before painting?
We can. Drywall repair is part of the prep on most interior jobs, from small cracks and nail pops to larger damaged sections. Once the patch is sanded smooth and primed, the paint goes on evenly and the repair disappears into the finish.
What is the difference between pressure washing and soft washing?
Pressure washing uses high-pressure water for hard surfaces like driveways, sidewalks, and patios. Soft washing uses specialized cleaning solutions at low pressure for delicate surfaces such as siding, roofs, and fences. Choosing the right method protects your surfaces while still getting them clean.
Do you stain and seal decks?
Deck staining and deck sealing are both part of what we do. Stain adds color and UV protection, while sealing guards the wood against moisture. We clean and prep the boards first so the product soaks in evenly, then apply a weather-resistant finish built to last through Charlottesville seasons.
Do you handle commercial and new construction painting?
Yes. Commercial painting covers offices and business spaces, and new construction painting covers homes and commercial properties that need a full finish from bare walls. We coordinate with builders and property managers on timing so painting fits the project schedule instead of holding it up.
Do you also offer cleaning services?
We do. Services include house cleaning, deep clean, moving clean, standard clean, office cleaning, and new construction cleaning. Window cleaning is available too, with streak-free results. Many customers book a cleaning after a paint job to get the whole space finished in one visit.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes, Alvarez' Painting is licensed and insured, and our work carries a warranty. You can ask about coverage details when you call for your estimate at (434) 305-2318, and we will explain exactly how the warranty applies to your project.
