Too many homeowners have stories about painters who cut corners on surface prep, leave behind sloppy edges, or disappear mid-project for other jobs. John Hunt and Joey LaBranche Jr. founded Quality Touch Painting Inc in January 2000 with the opposite approach, building a crew that prioritizes proper coating systems and thorough preparation on every project. Based at their 2315 Hubbard Street facility in Jacksonville, the fully licensed and insured company operates a 12,000-square-foot warehouse for large-scale trim priming and specialty work.
The team handles residential and commercial painting across Northeast Florida, with particular expertise in historic home restoration, cabinet and furniture refinishing, pressure washing, and sandblasting. Joey oversees project communication while crew members David and Frank manage job sites. The company is a proud member of both the Painting Contractors Association (PCA) and the Northeast Florida Builders Association (NEFBA).
Quality Touch Painting Inc serves Jacksonville, Jacksonville Beach, Ponte Vedra Beach, St. Augustine, St. Johns County, Fernandina Beach, Orange Park, Atlantic Beach, and Neptune Beach.
Multiple reviewers highlight this pattern. James Nault describes them as the company for "a difficult or very specialized painting job that other painters won't touch," noting their high standards on complex projects. Jonathan Meyer echoes this, saying the team "went above and beyond with every challenge met" while working on his 80-year-old home. These reviews suggest the company builds its reputation on projects others walk away from.

Howard Groshell's review describes a situation where previous painters said his interior trim, baseboards, and doors needed full replacement. Quality Touch Painting Inc instead took the time to "fill things, sand and repaint so they look like new." He adds that across years of hiring painting crews, "none have been as respectful of our privacy and home." The team's willingness to restore rather than replace saved significant cost.

Kenny Patton's 1-star review describes reaching out three times without receiving a call or email. The owner publicly acknowledged the issue, stating "we apologize for the lack of response and any inconvenience it may have caused."

The remaining 31 reviews in the dataset reflect positive experiences with responsiveness and punctuality.
