Fresh walls make a home feel new. We paint inside homes for Pittsburgh folks who want clean lines. We won't leave a mess behind.
Pittsburgh winters bring us lots of work. Gray skies keep people inside from November to March. That's when most Pittsburgh folks fix up the living room or kitchen. Old rowhomes near Butler and Pine Street often have water stains. This comes from past floods in the area. We need the right primer before new paint goes on. We like using Zinsser B-I-N for those spots. Skip that step, and the stain comes back in a few months. Money matters for big jobs too. Learning how a construction loan works [1] can help homeowners. This helps when you're planning big fix-up jobs along with paint. Wait too long on peeling paint, and you'll pay more later.
Basements and first floors near the river can get water stains. We seal and prime before we paint over them.
Many old Pittsburgh homes still have paint from years ago. We help pick colors that feel fresh and new.
Old plaster walls crack over time. We patch and smooth them before we paint for an even look.
Selling your home soon? Fresh paint helps buyers picture living there. Neutral colors make rooms look bigger in photos. Many Pittsburgh sellers get faster offers after a quick paint job.
We use low-smell, safe paint for kids' rooms. It dries fast and clears the air quickly. Your kids can go back in their room the same day.
Sometimes it's not the whole room. We touch up trim, doors, and ceilings to make things look new.
A sloppy paint job shows fast. You'll see drips, crooked lines, and stains poking through. We've done this for 35 years, and we don't cut corners. Call the right crew the first time. It saves you money and stress later.
Give us a call, and we'll set up a free estimate for your project. We're a family-run business, not a big chain. We treat your home like our own.
We keep things simple from your first call to the last coat. You get a clear price, a set schedule, and clean work every day. You won't have to guess about cost or time.
We walk through your Pittsburgh home with you. We give you a fair price with no pressure.
We cover floors and furniture, fix cracks, and prime stained walls. This step takes time, but it matters.
We paint with care and clean, straight lines. Then we clean up so your home looks even better.
Price depends on room size, wall shape, and prep needed. Old Pittsburgh rowhomes with plaster or water stains often need extra work first. We give you a free estimate, so there are no surprises on your bill. Big jobs with many rooms cost more at first. But they often save you money per room, compared to booking one room at a 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 what Pittsburgh folks ask us most. These questions come up on almost every job we quote. We put them here so you can plan ahead before we even visit.
Most jobs cost between $300 and $4,000. It depends on size and prep work. Old homes with plaster or wet spots cost more. We always give a free estimate first.
One room usually takes one to two days. A whole house can take a week or more. We'll give you a clear time plan at the estimate.
DIY is fine for small touch-ups. But old Pittsburgh homes with plaster and water stains need real prep work. We've fixed many DIY jobs within a year.
Most rooms need new paint every 5 to 10 years. Busy rooms like kitchens may need it sooner. Wet bathrooms may need it even more often.
Winter is our busy time for indoor jobs. Outdoor work slows down then. We book up fast, so call early for a spot.
Watch for cracks, peeling, or stains coming through old paint. Faded or chalky walls are signs too. Water marks near the ceiling can mean a bigger problem.
Yes, we move and cover furniture before we start. We protect your floors and things the whole time. Your home gets put back in order when we finish.
