Josh on the job
Finished exterior — O'Connell Painting
Meet Josh
The finish is only as good as what's underneath it. Prep, primer, patience — that's where the quality lives. Most painters rush past it. We don't.

Every O'Connell Painting project runs the same way: thorough prep, professional-grade materials, and a standard that holds up years after the job is done. Josh has built his reputation in Annapolis one room at a time — on work that earns referrals, not just approvals.

Josh exceeded expectations in every way. Showed on up time, focused on the details and did a great job along the way. He went above and beyond for a full color wash of our dining room. Highly Recomeneded.

We've used three painters in twenty years on this property. Josh is the first I'd call before calling anyone else. He sees what other painters miss.

I'm a designer. I have to trust the trades I recommend. Josh is on a short list of painters I call by name for clients who notice every detail.
