Fernandez Painting & Pressure Washing is a family-run operation led by Christian Fernandez, serving Erie and the surrounding communities since 2015. The team handles residential and commercial painting projects with a hands-on approach and a motto that captures their philosophy well. From century-old cedar shake homes to modern multi-unit buildings, each project receives thorough preparation, including sanding, cleaning, and wood repair before any paint or stain is applied.
The crew also provides pressure washing, soft washing, deck restoration and staining, gutter cleaning, drywall repair, and small home repairs across Cambridge Springs, Edinboro, Fairview, Girard, North East, and greater Erie County. Christian is known for visiting properties in person before quoting, offering honest assessments, and recommending solutions that prioritize long-term results over shortcuts. Homeowners frequently describe the team as courteous, detail-focused, and genuinely enjoyable to have around their properties.

Customers describe a level of preparation that goes well beyond basic taping and priming. Sue Miceli noted that the crew cleaned, sanded, and carefully prepared cedar shake siding before painting her 106-year-old home, even removing storm windows and downspouts to ensure full coverage. Jaimie Lasky-McFarlin shared a similar experience with her 1920s farmhouse, where Christian and his team discovered hidden rotted wood and handled it with patience and precision rather than rushing past it.

Daniel Little hired the team for the interior painting of a 16-unit multi-family project and reported that they did a spectacular job. When his schedule needed to be accelerated, Christian added extra workers and time to meet the deadline. Little also noted that the crew was considerate of other trades working on site, which reflects the kind of coordination larger commercial projects demand.
