About Hands On Painters

When Teresa Farrell needed her entire house painted including cabinets, she faced the common homeowner dilemma of choosing a contractor she could trust while being away during a two-week project. Hands On Painters completed the work with painters she describes as "extremely tidy, paid attention to detail" while she remained comfortable being absent. This level of reliability and care defines how owner Jonathan Zawacki runs his Baltimore-area painting operation, recognizing that behind every project is a homeowner entrusting their property to strangers.

That cabinet project represents typical Hands On Painters execution. Owner Jonathan Zawacki and project manager Derrick Conover have built their over 60 five-star Google reviews and 4.8-star Angi rating with over 700 reviews through consistent practices. Derrick provides detailed estimates and stays responsive via text throughout projects. Office manager Gale handles scheduling and keeps customers informed when they can't be on-site. Painter teams led by professionals like Fidel, Antonio, and Naun arrive on time and maintain clean work areas. From their Leeds Avenue location in Baltimore, they handle everything from single-room touch-ups to complete interior and exterior transformations. The fully licensed team (MHIC #70338) operates without subcontractors, employing full-time painters year-round.

Hands On Painters operates primarily through repeat customers and referrals. Jill Montgomery has hired them yearly for four consecutive years. Jennifer Oliver Martin uses them for projects "very large and very small." The consistent 4.7-star Google rating and A+ BBB rating reflect something beyond technical painting ability. They capture a contractor who completes work on schedule, maintains communication through office staff rather than going silent mid-project, and consistently delivers the reliability that turns first-time customers into annual clients.

Questions to Ask JL Painting Corp

Communication during your project

While reviews consistently praise the quality of work, one detailed reviewer noted challenges getting timely responses during the project. Workmanship was described as "excellent" and "absolutely perfect," but communication gaps were frustrating. Ask them directly: "What's the best way to reach you during the project, and how quickly can I expect a response to calls or texts?"

"THE BREAKDOWN IS THE OWNER JULIO DOESN'T RETURN CALLS AND THE ESTIMATOR SOMETIMES TOOK A WEEK OR MORE TO RETURN A TEXT." - Gregg R., Google Review (no owner reply)
