Specializing in transformative interior and exterior painting using exclusively Sherwin-Williams products, Walla Painting has served Hamilton County and Northside Indianapolis since 2007. Owner Jonathan Walla founded the company while studying at Indiana University's Kelley School of Business, building it from a one-person operation to a team of 11 employees who live and work in the communities they serve.
The company handles everything from single-room refreshes to whole-house transformations, with particular expertise in cabinet painting, deck and fence staining, and commercial projects for offices, retail spaces, and HOA communities. Estimator Eli manages consultations while crew leader Maddie oversees residential projects alongside painter Juan. Mark Warholic, a three-time customer over ten years, captures what keeps clients returning when he notes the "attention to detail from the time you get an estimate to the finished product."
The fully insured and bonded team carries general liability and workers compensation coverage. Based in Carmel, they serve Indianapolis, Westfield, Fishers, Noblesville, Zionsville, and surrounding Central Indiana communities within a 30-mile radius.
