About Bob And Ben Usner Painting
We're a family painting company that has worked on Pittsburgh homes for 33 years. We show up when we say we will and do honest work.
Built On Showing Up and Doing the Job Right
Bob and Ben started this company years ago with one idea. If you treat people fair and do good work, they'll call you again.
We're not a franchise and we never wanted to be. We'd rather know our customers by name than grow too big to care.
That means we answer our own phones. We give honest estimates. And we stand behind the work we finish.
The Standards Behind Every Job
These aren't fancy promises. They're just how we've always worked, job after job, year after year. We built our name on small decisions like calling back on time and finishing what we start. Homeowners notice the little things more than the big sales pitch. A neighbor tells another neighbor, and that's how most of our work comes to us. We don't need slogans to prove that we show up and do the job right. Every roof we fix and every gutter we clean reflects the same standard. That's the kind of company we set out to be from day one.
Honest communication
We tell you what your home actually needs. No pressure, no upselling, just the truth. If your roof can wait another year, we'll say so. We'd rather save you money now and earn your trust later. A lot of homeowners call us after getting quotes full of extra add-ons they don't need. We skip that part and just fix the actual problem. You won't hear us talk you into a bigger job than your house requires. That honesty is why so many folks call us back for the next project.
Fair pricing
Our estimates are free and clear from the start. No surprise charges show up later. We walk you through every line before any work begins. You'll know the cost of materials, labor, and anything else involved. If something changes once we start, we call you first. We never add fees without talking to you about it. Homeowners tell us this is the part they appreciate most. Nobody likes opening a bill and finding charges they never agreed to.
Reliable follow-through
If we say we'll be there Tuesday, we're there Tuesday. We know your time matters. You've got work, kids, and a life that doesn't pause for repairs. We plan our schedule so you're not stuck waiting around all day. If something unexpected comes up, we call you right away. You won't be left guessing or checking the window every ten minutes. Our crews show up ready to work the moment they arrive. That kind of reliability is rare these days, and we know it.
Quality work
We prep right and paint right. Shortcuts cause problems down the road, so we skip them.
A Process Built Around Clarity, Not Surprises
Good painting starts before the first coat goes on. Here's how we handle every project from start to finish.
We look closely first
We check your siding, trim, and walls before quoting anything. Older Pittsburgh homes especially need a careful eye for moisture and old paint layers.
We recommend what makes sense
Sometimes a full repaint isn't needed. We'll tell you if a smaller job will do the trick.
We finish clean and follow up
We protect your floors, furniture, and plants while we work. Then we clean up and check in after.
Serving Pittsburgh and the Towns Around It
We work within about a 30-mile radius of Pittsburgh, seven days a week. Every home gets the same care, whether it's in Pittsburgh or Shaler.

Professional Standards That Protect You
Painting an older home takes more than a brush and a can of paint. It takes real experience and the right coverage.
