TRUST - QUALITY - PROTECTION
Plenty of painting companies can hold a brush. Here's what actually separates Emerald Painting from the next bid you get.
Owner-Led, Not a Franchise
Stephen McPhatter still sets the standard on every project himself, not a name on a franchise agreement.
The No-Surprise Guarantee
The number on your proposal is the number on your invoice. No change orders that appear out of nowhere once the work is underway.
A No-Pressure Consultation
You get a written proposal, not a sales pitch. There's no pressure to sign anything on the spot.
Daily Communication
You'll know what happened on your property every single day, not just at the start and the end of the project.
PCA-Accredited Production Standards
Timelines and staffing get calculated against an industry standard, not guessed at.
Furniture and Flooring Protection
Your belongings get covered and protected for the entire project, with daily cleanup so your home doesn't feel like a construction site.
Everything promised was delivered perfectly. Jared came over and had the quote to us the next day. Stephan was very patient and accommodating in helping with paint and color choices. The crew that did the painting was very very neat and hardworking. The best part was they finished one day earlier than promised, and the craftsmanship was everything we hoped for. Thank you for making this project stress free.
— Rose Way
Emerald Painting is a residential and commercial painting contractor based in Southern Pines, NC. The company isn't the lowest bid you'll get, and that's on purpose. Homes and businesses in this market represent a real investment, and protecting that investment takes more than a ladder and a bucket of paint.
Every project comes with a written proposal, not a vague number scribbled on a business card. What's on that proposal is what shows up on the invoice. That's the whole idea behind the No-Surprise Guarantee. Read the full story behind Emerald Painting.
Stephen McPhatter, Owner of Emerald Painting
Stephen McPhatter represents the sixth generation of painting contractors in his family, trained on job sites rather than in a classroom. He spent over twenty years serving residential and commercial clients, including a stint running projects for a national painting franchise, before COVID-19 shut the industry down in 2020.
Stephen rebuilt from scratch and renamed the company Emerald Painting, a name meant to reflect wealth, refinement, and renewal. He still leads the company today, and every project runs through the same standard he set on day one.
How an Emerald Painting Project Works
Every project with Emerald Painting follows the same five steps, from the first phone call to the final walkthrough, so you always know what happens next.
We visit your property, walk through what you're picturing, and answer questions on the spot.
You'll see exactly what's included and what it costs before any work begins, delivered on-site or the day after.
Surfaces get properly prepped, and your furniture, flooring, and landscaping get covered before any painting starts.
You'll hear from the team daily, and the job site gets cleaned up every single day, not just at the end.
We go through the finished work together, and your 3-year warranty starts that same day.
