Why Choose Big Dog Painting?
Our Ten+ Years Have Taught Us a Few Things
We pride ourselves on standing a notch above our competitors by delivering an experience for our customers that truly changes what you can expect from a painter. Below are just a few ways you’ll love working with us.
It Starts with Good People
We commit ourselves to hiring the best people, not just the best painters — skills can be taught, but we hire our team based on shared beliefs, morals and a resolution to live by a common code of ethics: doing what’s right, not just what’s easy.
High Expectations
We’re our own toughest critics — to pass the mark, our work has to be something we’re genuinely proud of. Our team is trained to spot the smallest imperfections that can avoid bigger problems and disappointments down the road. (Check out some of the work we’re tagged in.)
Unique Ability to Deliver
We’ve had the opportunity to work on some very challenging and significant projects over the years and we’ve learned from every single one. We’ve built up our own internal knowledge base with honed practices and solutions to the most common (and the most uncommon) problems.

"Excellent service with Big Dog Painting! From the beginning with Graeme who quoted the job, Debbie who facilitated the schedule and our color selection to the stars of the project-Jake and Leo who prepped, painted and installed our cabinets. The entire team was efficient. Thank you all for helping us update our 21 year old kitchen!!!"
- Monique Johnson
Built on Relationships
And honest communication. Sometimes we’re not the right fit for a job and we’ll tell you that (and recommend a next step for you to take). We’ve never had to “sell” a client on a job — if we recommend something, you’ll know exactly why. It starts & ends with trust and respect for your time.
Easy & Honest Estimates
We’re not a huge operation with a sales team trying to hit numbers — you’ll deal directly with one cohesive team the whole time. Our estimate process focuses on information gathering; we might not always be the cheapest up-front, but you can count on our estimates to leave no room for hidden, expensive surprises later.
Exceptional Quality Work
We put it last because to us, it feels like a given — our clients come back to us because of the exceptional quality and attention to detail we deliver, both in our work and our communication; it’s not something that’s easy to find elsewhere.
We pride ourselves on long-lasting relationships with our clients.
The whole Big Dog team was a dream to work with. From my first consultation with Graeme through project management with Charlie and execution with Jake and Leo they made everything super easy! They answered all my questions, provided great design idea, and did an amazing job with my kitchen and bathroom. I would 100% recommend them to anyone who is looking for work done on their homes. I was away while some of the work was being done and they treated my home with respect and I knew it was all in good hands.

Carlos and his team did an amazing job with our re-paint. From quoting through prep through cleanup they were professional, communicative, resolved any errors I pointed out, and flexible on additional quoting and pop up work that occurred during the project. They also acted as general contractor for our stucco repair and carpentry work.
- Matt White
“I can’t say enough great things about Big Dog Painting. From the initial walk around my 1882 home, and Graeme explaining what was necessary to complete the job, until the last screen was installed on my porches. This TEAM has been professional, honest, hardworking, friendly - to myself, my parents and family, as well as those who just stopped by to say what a wonderful job they were doing. I have and will continue to recommend BIG DOG PAINTING to everyone I meet.”
- Robin Hoyt
“We would like to thank you for the wonderful job you and your crew did painting our house. You finished the work in a timely manner and cleaned everything up beautifully. We love driving up our driveway to such a nicely painted home. We sure will miss you guys!!”
- John and Val Flanagan
“I can’t recommend Graeme and Big Dog more highly. I have a 239 year old house and Graeme has done numerous painting jobs both inside and out. He can handle the most difficult jobs such as our very old clapboards and trim outside, as well ...as old plaster walls and original moldings inside. He stands behind his work, coming back to see how his outside work weathered our tough winters. He is very reliable and keeps the work area very neat. We are so happy to have found such a great painter!”
- Carol Robie
“I’ve lived in my house for 26 years and have had it painted several times. Big Dog Painting did an incredible job! Outstanding preparation and attention to detail. Far exceeded my expectations! Thanks Graeme!”
- Marti Copeland
“Big Dog Painting did a whole house interior painting for me to prepare my house for sale. I HIGHLY recommend this company to anyone looking for a painting service.The owner, Graeme, is professional, kind and he was flexible to my schedule. Not only did he and his crew do an excellent job, but he went over and above the call of duty. When he saw me struggling to clean out an area of my house, he jumped in to help.I was very comfortable leaving him with my key and they proved trustworthy and responsible. The work they did was excellent. Five stars is not enough.”
- Colleen Whary
“Can’t say enough about Graeme and Big Dog Painting. Graeme and his team are professional, honest and extremely talented.We hired Big Dog to paint our new house and we could not be happier with the results. Whether I needed a touch-up or a major job, I wouldn’t consider going anywhere else after working with these guys.”
