When homeowners or property managers in Palm Beach and Broward counties reach out to PhD Painting, owner Pedro Deliberais personally handles the initial consultation. Founded in 2005 as a family operation, the company has grown to include a consistent team of named crew members who appear across years of customer projects. Pedro visits the property, discusses scope, and presents multiple pricing options with itemized written contracts.
The fully licensed, bonded and insured team operates from their Boca Raton office, handling residential and commercial projects across South Florida. Core services include interior and exterior painting, cabinet refinishing, crown molding and trim installation, wood staining, drywall repair, and pressure washing. The company encourages the use of eco-friendly Zero VOC paints and includes all materials in their estimates.
PhD Painting backs all work with a two-year warranty on every project. Pedro Sr. handles finish carpentry, while crew members like Elizabeth, Carlos Sr., Diogo, and Wagner manage day-to-day job sites. The company also provides HOA and condo association documentation upon request, including certificates of insurance naming associations as additional insured.
