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.
