About Ausherman Painting
Homeowners and property managers across York, Cumberland, and Adams counties face a familiar challenge when hiring painters. Many contractors promise quality but fall short on preparation, communication, or follow-through. Ausherman Painting has spent 47 years solving that problem with a crew-based model pairing dedicated team leaders like Steve Fletcher, George, Brent Borror, and Connor with skilled painters who take ownership of every project.
The company holds PA Home Improvement Contractor Registration PA000008, employs Certified Lead Renovators, and earned the PCA/PDCA L. E. Travis Craftsman of the Year award. In-house color consultant Cheryl helps clients navigate paint selection before work begins. Services span residential and commercial painting, cabinet refinishing, wallpaper removal, drywall repair, light carpentry, limewashing, and place-of-worship restoration.
Beyond client work, the company is restoring the York County Fire Museum through a three-year project donating an estimated 1,500 to 2,000 labor hours, using the historic landmark to train apprentices. That investment in the next generation of craftspeople reflects four core values the company operates by. Craftsmanship, Customer Care, Employee Development, and Leadership.

Jack Gotwalt described the exterior power washing as taking care to clean gutters and soffit before the crew began painting walls and trim. Anne Zimmerman noted that her team arrived at 7 AM each morning and worked respectfully around a home office. Multiple reviews note that finished spaces looked spotless the moment the crew packed up.
How do named crew leaders like Steve Fletcher and George contribute to project outcomes?
Steve Fletcher appears in dozens of reviews leading exterior and interior projects with praise for punctuality, clear communication, and a willingness to address concerns on site. George is cited for drywall repair artistry, wallpaper removal precision, and ceiling restoration. Bambi Garrett noted that Brent Borror assured her the job was not finished until she was fully satisfied with every ceiling detail. That pattern of crew leaders taking personal accountability runs through nearly every review.
How does Ausherman Painting approach church and place-of-worship restoration work?
The company maintains a dedicated service page for place-of-worship painting and has completed projects for multiple congregations across York County. Martin Gemmill praised the sanctuary ceiling coffer work at Water's Edge United Methodist Church. Scott Becker described the bell tower restoration at St. Jacob's UCC as looking like new. Eric Barley confirmed the same bell tower project with detailed references to dentil molding and window frame work. These reviews suggest a deep familiarity with historic and religious properties.
