Services
Interior Painting
Our interior painting service transforms living and working spaces with fresh, durable finishes that enhance aesthetics and atmosphere. Using premium, low-VOC paints, we deliver long-lasting results that resist scuffing and maintain cleanability. Our team handles all aspects from surface preparation to final touch-ups, ensuring seamless coverage and crisp lines.
Exterior Painting
Exterior painting protects and beautifies properties against Indiana's weather extremes. We use weather-resistant paints and thorough preparation techniques including pressure washing, scraping, and sealing to ensure lasting protection. Our work enhances curb appeal while preventing costly damage from moisture and UV exposure.
Commercial Painting
Commercial painting services maintain professional appearances for businesses while protecting investments. We work after hours to minimize disruption, using durable coatings that withstand high traffic areas. Our team handles projects of all sizes, from small offices to large retail spaces, with attention to safety and code compliance.
Power Washing
Power washing removes dirt, mold, and graffiti from exterior surfaces, restoring property appearance and preventing surface degradation. Our equipment handles delicate surfaces like vinyl siding and robust concrete without damage. Regular maintenance extends the life of paint finishes and improves property value.
Deck Cleaning
Deck cleaning and restoration services revive outdoor wood structures through professional cleaning, sanding, and sealing. We remove years of grime and weather damage, then apply protective sealants that prevent future deterioration. This process extends deck lifespan while restoring natural wood beauty.

Russell painting company was very professional. We
hired them to do our interior ceilings and we were so impressed we also hired them to do our exterior painting of our house. Eric Russell was always available if we had any questions. The crew that came out to do our interior painting were very professional, very polite, and did a great job. When the crew came out to do the exterior we were happy to see it was the same crew. The wife and I will not hesitate to recommend Russell painting company, and if you have any doubts put them aside because this company is really good.

From our first interactions with Erik Russel in response to a quote for an indoor painting project, we appreciated the attention given to detail and input from previous customers. But were were EXTREMELY pleased with the work done... amazed at how quickly his team finished and how great everything looked. We made the right choice and enthusiastically recommend Russell Painting Co to others.

My wife and I hired Russell Painting Company to paint the exterior of our brick house, including trim and some doors (pictures attached). They also painted the garage (hardy board siding) and the garage doors. They were the only painting company in Indianapolis we could find who was willing to use Romabio products, which is a paint specifically designed for masonry.
Eric Russell came out personally for the quote and carefully explained what was in scope and out of scope of the work. His detailed estimate broke everything down, which we really appreciated. When work started a couple months later

We hired Russell Painting Company in August, 2020 for an interior project that included dry wall repair, ceiling repair and to paint walls in a cathedral ceiling living space. Russell exceeded our expectations in many quality related ways. Eric, the owner, provided a detailed quote that showed the cost for each task; there were no surprises on completion. The estimate was reasonable. The painting crew (2 persons on day one and four on day two) were outstanding. Olvin, the team leader, did a great job supervising the others and working hard himself. They carefully covered vulnerable areas such as

We priced out our exterior painting job with several companies, and Eric was responsive and professional throughout the process. Even better, his quote came to more than 25% less than one of the other flashier local companies with similarly high reviews. An inexpensive quote wouldn't matter if the work weren't up to par, but we are happy to say that our house looks great, and we couldn't be happier with Russell Painting Company. We will be recommending them to any of our friends or family who need work done in the future.
