Plaster repairs, caulking and surface preparation feature prominently in older customer accounts of DP Kelley Painting. A customer writing in October 2021 said Dan and his team handled needed drywall repairs and caulking even though those repairs were outside the quote, without charging extra. The reviewer credited that preparation with improving the finished job. The Pittsfield business has a 4.7-star Google average from 15 ratings. Its dated customer accounts run from 2021 through 2024 and describe both interior and exterior painting. In a September 2024 review, a homeowner described a three-story house with wood siding, cedar shakes and vinyl siding. Weather delayed the start, but the customer praised Daniel and the crew's attention to detail, advice and completed work. Another September 2024 customer praised Dan, Mark, Joe and the crew's work on a 40-year-old board-and-batten home. For an older home's foyer and staircase, an April 2022 reviewer described plaster-wall repairs before painting. Dan assessed the job the same day as the initial call; work began the following week and was completed in just over a week. The customer said Dan and Joe arrived first thing each morning and praised the results. A May 2022 customer described hiring Dan Kelley and his team to paint the entire interior, restain decks and paint the front door, with recaulking and hole patching also needed. That reviewer praised the work, communication and cleanliness in the home, and said the team made additional repairs they did not have to make.

Dan, Mark, Joe and Crew did the best job ever on my Board & Batten 40 year old home! They are truly professional and won't leave until every single thing looks beautiful. I highly recommend this company for all your painting & staining (indoor and outdoor) needs. I'm happy to be a reference for them! No wonder they are #1 in the area....Thanks again~
To begin, our house is a bit of a monster - three stories and three different mediums to paint: wood siding, cedar shakes and vinyl siding on the third floor. We solicited four quotes (one contractor just kept driving and never bothered to quote). We immediately felt comfortable and confident in Daniel's understanding of our needs and his ability to deliver. His quote was fair, and we scheduled our job. Mother Nature had other ideas, though, as weather contributed to delays in the start of our job. It needs to be said that you can trust D.P. Kelley Painting to deliver on their promises! His crew was courteous, conscientious, and showed great attention to detail. He and his team guided us through the process, always providing sound advice (that we thankfully followed). We are thrilled with their work: our home has been transformed! We are having some other work done, so photos will have to wait for the moment. The most important qualities in a contractor (besides competence) are Honesty and Trust, and I can say from our experience that Daniel has earned ours.
My husband and I hired Dan Kelley and his team to paint the entire interior of our home, and to restain our decks and paint the front door. We needed a lot of repair as well, recaulking, patching holes, etc. I am pretty picky when it comes to the quality of work because I work in interior design, so attention to detail is really important to me. Not only did they do an incredible job — but they left our home better than they found it. They made repairs they didn’t have to, they were always kind, willing to help, timely and efficient without cutting any corners. They also communicated very well and were very clean in our home. I highly recommend Dan and his team, and will absolutely be hiring them again to paint the whole exterior of our house. It was a pleasure working with them.
Dan, Joe, and his team did an exceptional job painting my foyer and staircase. It is an older house and needed much repair to the plaster walls before painting. Dan answered my initial call and stopped by that day to assess the job. The following week the work began and was completed in just over a week. Everyday, Dan and Joe showed up first thing in the morning and worked diligently throughout the day. They are quiet, funny, and personable. I was very comfortable having them in my home. Overall, the results were fantastic! I am very happy and look forward to having my son and his fiance who had their first photo together from their high school prom taken on the stairway (15 years ago!) enjoy having a wedding photo taken in the same spot! Makes me very happy! Many Thanks!
Dan and his team exceeded my expectations. I am super particular and had a very short time frame but Dan delivered. Comparable pricing and- although his quote did not include repairs, where he saw they were needed he did them anyway- without additional charge. Drywall, caulking and other prep I didn’t know I needed- made a huge difference in the finished job. An added bonus: Dan has a cute personality and is a pleasure to be around. That said, he knows when to chat and when to get to work. 5 stars :)
