We're not a franchise chasing quick jobs. We're a family business that's been painting these streets for decades.
We've painted rowhouses on Butler Street and homes up near Pleasant Avenue since 1993. We know this housing stock inside and out.
Bob and Ben still run the jobs themselves. You're hiring neighbors, not a call center.
We carry liability coverage and workers' compensation. That protects you and your home if anything goes wrong.
We'll walk your home, give you an honest price, and never push an upsell. You decide on your own time.
I recently had this company paint the exterior of my home along with two garages. The owner Bob was easy to talk and accommodating. The real star was Mark who did most of the painting. He did an excellent job, was courteous, was promptly on time and cleaned up after himself. Both painters on sight were so respectful and worked non stop. I highly recommend from my experience.
Bob and team did an excellent job painting both the interior and exterior of the home. They arrived on time and we’re very professional. I would highly recommend them for any painting projects you have.
We recently had USNER PAINTING paint our four story fire escape. They have painted it in the past and did a great job so we expected nothing less and they delivered again. The restoration engineer who worked on our job was impressed with their work and recommended them for another job he was working on.
They completed the job in a timely manner and left the work area clean when they were finished.

Ben and his co workers were very attentive to the work that needed to be done. They went above and beyond moving alot of boxes and furniture to the middle of room and covering everything before painting and put everything back and cleaned up when finished. They also did other jobs that I didn't even think about doing but definitely need to be done. They made a big improvement in my attic and basement.
Bob and Ben did a great job painting the front of our house.
Bob Usner responded almost immediately to my online inquiry, gave me a fair quote based on pictures I sent, his son Ben came out and did the work, quite excellently. Ben was thorough, respectful, professional. We are very happy with the results and would use Usner Painting again when we need to. Highly recommended!
We are so glad we found Bob Usner and his painting company. We asked Bob to paint the interior of our newly purchased home. Josh and the painting crew did a phenomenal job not only painting, but with some wall repait, too. The crew worked long hours to make sure the job was completed on time (before flooring contractors arrived), even though we expanded the scope of work a couple of times. You couldn't work with a nicer group of people. We will definitely call them again for any future painting needs.
Can't say enough good things about Bob & Ben. They gave a competitive price estimate. They were reliable and started and finished the job on schedule. The crew was great to work with and their work and attention to detail was fantastic. We had some very old wallpaper in a bedroom and hallway that had to be removed. As they started to strip it, they discovered it was applied over a previous incorrectly hung layer which made the removal very labor intensive. The crew did a fantastic job and was able to remove both layers and restore the walls to their original condition.
Highly recommend Bob & Ben Usner Painting
I highly recommend Bob Usner for any and all paint jobs. He previously did an excellent job on some exterior paint work and just completed an entire interior repaint of my house. He and his crew far exceeded my expectations. I have 100+ year old house and the plaster was definitely showing its age. His crew did way more extensive work repairing walls and ceilings than I could have ever expected. He used top quality paint and detailed attention was paid to its application. His estimate was more than fair, and he stuck to it – there are no surprises with Bob. His crew cleaned up at the end of every day, they were polite and conscientious while in my home, and they were very mindful of my pets. In my opinion, if you are looking for a local business to support, you won’t find anyone better in the Pittsburgh area. Bob will always be my go-to for any painting I need.

Here are answers to questions we hear most from Pittsburgh homeowners before they book us.
Cost depends on size, siding type, and prep work needed. Older Pittsburgh homes with lead paint layers need extra prep, which affects price. We give you a free, honest estimate before any work starts. No surprise charges later.
Most exterior jobs take three to five days, weather depending. Humidity off the Allegheny River can slow drying in July and August. We plan around that so the paint cures right. Rushing a job in bad weather causes blistering later.
