Little did John Hughes, Sr. know back in early 1970 that the part-time painting job he took, while holding a full time position at Norfolk Southern Railroad, would lead to he and his wife Billie starting their own painting company in Raleigh. From the very beginning, Hughes was dedicated to providing a service to increase the value of his clients' homes and make them comfortable.
As Hughes's reputation spread and his business grew, he expanded his service offerings, as well as the areas he served. In the 1990s, John Hughes, Jr. joined ranks with his family, working through high school and college at the company business.

I called Hughes Painting and set up an appointment for an estimate to have our three story home exterior painted. I was sent reminders both to my email and phone. John arrived on time. He was both professional and personable. John was knowledgeable with our home's exterior finish, EIFS, and what it required for prepping and painting. John and his crew arrived on time to clean and prep our home which consists of 3 stories, 3 balconies and a full rooftop deck.
They were very efficient and tidy. A few days later, with weather permitting, John's painting crew arrived on time to start painting. The job was completed in a couple day. The crew always arrived on time, were professional, courteous, extremely tidy, knowledgeable, and personable. I will not hesitate to use their service again and highly recommend them!

My wife and I had water damage to our ceiling and wall. So we used " Hughes painting and drywall" Steve from Hughes came out to give an exact detailed estimate on what it would cost. You would not believe the awesome job that Steve did on our ceiling and wall you would never know that it was ever damaged. A very professional job, he was professional, respectful, took pride in his work.
When finished he made sure that it was all cleaned up and also made sure that everything around the project was covered up like my tv, couch, curio cabinet, etc. I highly recommend Steve from Hughes painting and drywall next time you need a project done. I already asked him to do another project in my home. Thank you Steve and God bless you for a outstanding job.

An absolute pleasure to work with. John and his team painted the interior of our home and did so with a commendable attention to detail. They showed up on time and finished well ahead of schedule. They treated our home as if it were their own. Hughes was recommended to be my a real estate professional who I hold in high regard and she got it right again. I will be recommending Hughes Painting to anyone who asks and will use them for any similar project in the future.

My wife and I first hired Hughes painting this past summer to paint the exterior of our house. Some of the exterior wood had rot, so it was necessary for Hughes Painting to do some exterior carpentry repair, then finish the painting. This project was accomplished beautifully. The carpentry work was excellent. The painters were meticulous, polite and on time.
Their clean-up was thorough. We were so pleased with the outcome that we called Hughes Painting back to tackle an interior room. The drywall in this room needed major repair due to loose joint tape (40 year old house) and residual glue from long past wall paper which was not properly removed. Mr. Hughes' estimate was half of the amount quoted by a competitor so I hired Hughes Painting for this project. Mr. Hughes sent 2 of his employees, Andy and Antonio to tackle our project.
They did a GREAT job. Andy and Antonio were punctual, polite, efficient and clean. They were very receptive to our requests for particular aspects of the job. After repairing the walls, they painted the walls, ceiling, trim and doors. Andy meticulously cleaned the old, dried paint off of the door hardware. They finished the job in 4 days, even with our cold, damp weather which slowed the drying time for the mud and the paint. Mr. Hughes was timely in starting this project and always responsive to our questions both before the project began and while the project was underway. Our room looks brand new! We will definitely hire Hughes Painting when we are ready to paint the rest of the interior of our home.

We first used Hughes Painting to paint half of the interior of our home and they were fast, efficient, meticulous and did an excellent job. They made sure all was as we liked it before they called it complete. They did so well we asked them back to do the exterior of our house and they did an excellent job again. They may not be the cheapest in town or sometimes the easiest to get hold of, but the quality of the work is excellent. I would use them again if I had something left to paint.

Hughes Painting clear coated our driveway, patio, and sidewalks. They did high quality work at a reasonable price. Developing a relationship with their customers is a priority for them. I believe that I can trust them to always take good care of us. Going forward they will take care of all of our painting requirements. Service: Exterior painting

Hushes painting is the most exceptional painting contractor with whom I have dealt over the last four decades and across five houses I have owned. I will never have any other painting contractor do any work on my house. I encourage anyone that has major or minor residential painting concerns that they contact John. He will do you right. Thank you for he opportunity.

The team at Hughes Painting repainted the entire exterior of our Long Term Care facility. They did a great job in helping us select the right product and colors, thoroughly cleaned the exterior, and did an excellent job in recovering all surfaces. They finished on time and on budget, and worked around our schedule to respect the needs of our residents. Highly recommend!

First time I've used Hughes Painting but it won't be the last! As a Realtor I'm always looking for quality contractors I can recommend to my clients and Hughes Painting definitely on my list now! I will recommend and call them 1st for any interior or exterior painting needs. High quality job at a very fair price and extremely responsive. I'd highly recommend John and his team for any of your painting needs!

John and his crew were excellent. Everyone was friendly and professional. They arrived on time and worked hard all day. They did an amazing job removing our popcorn ceilings and painting the interior of our house. The quote was reasonably priced. John is a person of integrity. I highly recommend Hughes Painting!

It was such a privilege to work with you. You surely went over & beyond in helping me with the ceiling light wires, the TV, the ladder, especially the PAINT inside my car and, yes, I have been able to get most of it out. I can't wait to go home next week and see the finished job. I know it will look great.

I would highly recommend John - as a divorcee, I'm always weary of being ripped off. I never felt that way with John. He gave me a fair price, was always reliable and communicated any changes to the plan. I had cracks in my drywall and John was proactive in letting me know about them. He fixed it perfectly! John is fast, professional and keeps work areas very clean.

John Hughes is reliable, respectable, professional, and very precise. I've been a real estate agent since 2004 and have used many painters. When I'm in need of a painter and have a tight deadline to meet, I always call Mr. Hughes. My reputation is on the line when I refer a service like this to my clients and with Hughes Painting, I never have anything to worry about.
