Backed by well over 50 five-star Google reviews and a consistent 4.9-star rating, Lion Painting & Drywall has established itself as one of the Asheville area's most dependable painting and drywall contractors. Operating from Arden and serving communities throughout Buncombe and Henderson Counties, this family-owned operation combines 17 years of hands-on experience with a straightforward approach that homeowners and real estate professionals consistently praise.
The company handles everything from popcorn ceiling removal and cabinet refinishing to complete interior and exterior transformations. Reviews repeatedly highlight specific strengths: crews who protect every surface without being asked, detailed prep work that makes challenging angles look seamless, and cleanup so thorough that customers report homes "cleaner than when they started." Whether addressing water damage in a bathroom or restoring a historic 1959 garage door, the team demonstrates both technical skill and problem-solving ability.
What distinguishes Lion Painting & Drywall is the personal investment owners Raul and Elizabeth bring to each project. Customers mention Raul by name for his color guidance and honest estimates, while Elizabeth earns recognition for responsive scheduling and clear communication. The crew arrives when promised, texts morning confirmations, and maintains daily contact throughout multi-day projects. This reliability extends beyond the worksite: multiple customers report being hired again within days of project completion, and real estate agent Kelsey Varga exclusively recommends them to both buyers and sellers after experiencing their work firsthand.
