That 1 Painter Lehigh Valley handles residential and commercial painting across Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, and more than a dozen surrounding communities. The team, led by project manager Jim Macaluso, pairs interior and exterior wall work with cabinet refinishing, deck and fence staining, drywall repair, pressure washing, limewash application, and popcorn ceiling removal. A three-year warranty covers peeling, bubbling, cracking, or splitting that results from prep or application errors, and the warranty transfers if the homeowner sells.
Crew leaders Fabian, Sam, Larry, Bob, and Julio rotate across projects while Jim coordinates estimates, scheduling, and post-project walkthroughs. Customers in Northampton, Whitehall, Quakertown, and Nazareth describe same-week scheduling, daily on-site communication, and thorough cleanup. The franchise runs a Paint it Forward community initiative and offers a free Color Studio for homeowners exploring palette options before committing to a project.
