Justin Mitchell

Best painters in Picayune - Justin Mitchell, owner of Paint Star

Owner/Operator

Hi there! I am the sole owner and operator of Paint Star. Painting is something that I have a knack for and deeply enjoy. What I can guarantee you, is that I give every job my absolute 100%. I take great pride in delivering an excellent experience and quality results to my customers.

I have several years of experience in home remodelling at a local company, Trademark Exteriors. A few years ago, after being contracted to do some painting projects, I quickly realized it was something I wanted to master and provide as a service. Ever since, I've been steadily growing and establishing a reputation in my hometown of Picayune and beyond.

It takes a significant amount of trust to allow someone to work in or around your home or business, and I firmly believe in transparency, trust, and knowing who you are doing business with. From the first call to the last brushstroke, I'm the guy! You get the benefit of dealing with the same person every job, rather than letting a random sub-contractor you've never seen or spoke to around your home.

If you're looking for a painter who treats your project like their own, I'd love to hear from ya'!

"Justin painted every exterior surface on my house and shed by hand. No sprayer. Beautiful work. Fixed other problems as he found them like removing old cable runs. Plan on using him again, to paint the interior of my home."
