Paint preparation gets as much attention as the finished rooms in accounts of Painting Beyond. One customer described popcorn-ceiling removal in a family room and adjoining kitchen, wallpaper removal, and painting both rooms. The reviewer said John gave a detailed estimate, explained the work when they crossed paths, and cleaned up carefully afterward. Painting Beyond is based in Springfield, and Google shows a 5-star average from 37 ratings. A customer writing in March 2026 described Jeancarlo painting ceilings, walls and trim throughout their place. They singled out the preparation: removing doors, locks and hinges, sealing holes and gaps, and leaving no stray paint behind. This was their third time using Painting Beyond, after exterior work and interior-ceiling painting at a previous place. For the full interior at their new place, the worker also installed a chair rail to separate colors. The reviewer said the quote detailed the work and the price stayed as quoted. Exterior staining drew a similarly specific account in February 2026. A homeowner described Johnny fastening weathered cedar shingles, replacing those too warped to lie flat, and filling staple holes with caulk. The customer said he applied oil primer before two coats of stain, using a roller for the primer and final coat and spraying the first stain coat. After that house project, the homeowner hired him to stain the garage and described him jacking up and straightening the leaning structure. They also praised an accurate itemized estimate. Customers have hired the business for work beyond painting. In March 2026, one reviewer said they had brought Johnny back for more than a year for building projects, tile work and drywall work on walls and ceilings. An older account, posted in March 2024, described the entire house interior being renewed in a week. That customer praised the price and said rooms were left clean, with furniture and draperies back in place.

John is a perfectionist. We had two big jobs which entailed removal of the popcorn ceiling in the family room and attached kitchen and then painting the ceiling, removing wallpaper from the walls and painting both rooms. He gave a detailed cost and description estimate of exactly what he would be doing. We tried to stay out of his way but when we ran into him, he would stop and point out and explain what things he did and why. He is also fastidious with after job cleanup. It was a labor intensive job and I feel we would have paid twice as much if we had hired a company that has multiple employees and the overhead that goes with it. Highly recommend.
I highly recommend Johnny. He is an excellent painter and a great person to work with. He is everything you would want in a painter; conscientious, talented, and capable. He cares about the end product and does a great job. Fro more than a year, we have hired Johnny back to do many different jobs, because he is just that good, including building projects, tile work, and drywall work on the walls and the ceilings. He has complete each project with professionalism and an eye for quality and detail. Thank you, Johnny!
Jeancarlo did a perfect interior paint job for us. From the ceilings, walls, trim work, throughout our place. Every detail from removing doors, locks, & hinges, to ensuring holes and gaps are sealed, and cleanup where no stray paint was left behind. This is the 3rd time using Painting Beyond. He has done exterior work and interior ceilings at our previous place, to the full interior at our new place. He even installed a chair rail so we could have color differential. Fantastic work. Details everything in the quote and sticks with it. Great value for the work the he does.
Johnny recently stained my house which has cedar shingles. Because the shingles were badly weathered, he stapled down each individual shingle and replaced the shingles that were too warped to lay flat. After stapling the shingles, he fill each staple hole with caulking; his work was meticulous. He was the only painter who suggested a coat of oil primer before 2 coats of stain. He applied the primer with a 4" roller, then sprayed the first coat of stain, the second coat was applied with the 4" roller to provide a solid, even application. Johnny also caulked any gaps before spraying the trim. He did such a fantastic job on the house, I had him stain the garage. My 1930's garage was leaning quite a bit and Johnny was able to jack it up and straighten it out. Before starting these projects, Johnny provided an accurate itemized estimate. My house looks amazing! I would highly recommend Painting Beyond. I'm looking forward to having him return to do interior painting projects.
Painting Beyond renewed the entire interior of our house in just a week. They were fast, efficient and cheerful, very attentive to details, and they left each room clean and with furniture and draperies back in place. A great company at a fair price. You get more than you expect. I’m already recommending them to friends who see what they’ve done for us.
