Neil Greene

Matt and his team are some of the nicest and most professional people I have had the pleasure of employing for work here at our home. Their prep work was meticulous and the final result was fantastic. I strongly recommend using this company.

Hired Lightfoot Painting for some deck work. They were very a professional crew that did an outstanding job. They went above and beyond to make sure their work was high quality. No time was wasted and the job was done excellently. Very reasonably priced. Very happy with the outcome. Plan to go through them again for future work.

Matt and his crew painted ceilings and hallway walls, fixed damaged drywall, and repaired the previous owner's paint job on the den and kitchen ceilings. This included some additional sanding and repair to address the previous mistakes. They did a great job and were very professional, informative and friendly. Matt's prices are reasonable and the end result is excellent. I would definitely use Matt for additional painting and highly recommend his services.

Maren Lennon

Matt and his crew are fantastic! We have used them 3 times, and have been nothing but thrilled with the work that they have done for us. They are professional, responsive, and their work is top notch. We can't recommend a painter any higher than we recommend Matt. We are thrilled with their work!

We have used Lightfoot Painting and Construction for multiple projects over the past several years. Matt and his excellent crew have always met and exceeded our expectations. Matt is a delight to work with. He and his crew do exceptinal work with meticulous attention to detail. In addtion to multiple painting projects in the past, Matt recently finished a master bathroom remodel project (at a VERY reasonable price). It is beautiful, and we could not be happier with the result. Matt will be back soon to repair our deck. We give Lightfoot Painting and Construction our highest recommendation.

Dela Alexander

Matt & Vera Lightfoot and their crew did a wonderful job painting the indoors of our house. As some of the spaces to be painted were "spot painting", it was particularly challenging. He and his crew were very adept at blending old and new paint on the walls so the end looked smooth and totally clean. They are skilled, reliable, responsive and very considerate when in someone's home and space. I highly recommend Lightfoot Painting & Construction.

Sharyl Hankin

Wonderful experience all around. As we are extremely particular about our home, we can definitely say that Matt Lightfoot is far and away the best painting contractor that we have dealt with in Charlottesville. Matt provided us with an extremely detailed estimate, was prompt in replying to emails or texts, and excellent in communicating ahead of time when rain delayed our project. Throughout the entire process Matt and his crew were professional, polite, respectful, trustworthy, and tidy. Most importantly, they did a terrific job painting the exterior of our house. We wish we had found Matt and his crew sooner!

Fred Schmoyer

Matt and his crew were very professional in all aspects of the project. We hired him to paint the exterior of our house. When we ran into some unexpected woodworking problems, Matt was able to take care of the additional work. He had a very skilled carpenter as part of the crew and we were happy with his workmanship. Matt finished on time and for the quoted amount. We highly recommend him and would definitely hire Lightfoot Painting & Construction again.

We have cedar siding on the exterior of our house that required significant prep work and carpentry on the trim. Matt and his crew did a terrific job on all phases of the project. We appreciate the high quality and hard work done on our house which is now the best looking in the neighborhood. Thank you Matt and crew ! Chris Arseneault

Greg Burroughs

The Lightfoot crew painted multiple rooms, fixed damaged drywall, and smoothed out my 1970's textured ceilings. Their service was professional and friendly, the price was reasonable and the end result is excellent.

Jim Dixon

We have had Lightfoot Painting do multiple projects for us in the last year. They range from room painting, ceiling and wall repair, to outdoor decking replacement. Matt and his crew are meticulous in their preparations and accomplishment. We find he is multi-talented and often goes beyond the scope of our contract to overcome unexpected challenges. His estimates are detailed. Projects are completed when scheduled an at the estimated cost. He has done equally satisfying work for our immediate neighbor and apparently others as gathered from the neighborhood blog. Congenial and most courteous, he is a pleasure to work with. We recommend him with the highest of confidence.

Patricia Martin

Matt Lightfoot has done several jobs for us over the years and we have consistently been pleased. His workmanship is excellent, and he sticks to his stated schedule. In addition, Matt is extremely polite, respectful. I strongly recommend him for any remodeling and/or painting.

Heyward Macdonald

Good man- good workers- good job.

Mark Snider

We had to wait a bit before they could start a full interior painting of my home, but it was worth the wait. Having worked as a painter many years ago I knew what quality looked like. Outstanding workmanship and a great reliable staff. Highly recommended!

Suzanne Breeden

Matt and crew show up when they are supposed to show up and do the job as promised. The quality of work and materials has been excellent and they left all work areas clean when they finished. I have used Lightfoot Painting for interior work in a rental property as well as interior and exterior work on my personal residence. We've been very pleased both times.

David Thorson

Lightfoot Painting and Construction painted the entire exterior of the house, plus two decks. Matt Lightfoot is pleasure to work with. His price is competitive, his estimates thorough, and he uses the best grade materials. Matt kept in contact before, during, and after the job. His crew was very professional and the quality of work, from preparation to painting to cleanup is outstanding. Based on my experience, I've recommended Matt's services to both neighbors and friends.

Lia Norton

Matt and his crew painted several rooms for us and remodeled our two bedrooms (new floors, repaired walls, built closets, installed ceiling fans). They even made a few unplanned structural repairs when we learned that a rafter in one of the bedrooms was collapsing into the ceiling. The work they did was very professional and timely, and Matt rolled with the punches when we added a few extra jobs along the way. We are incredibly happy with the final product and would gladly recommend his services.

Timothy Hendrickson

Matt and his crew power washed, primed, painted and stained our entire house...it was a big job and they did a fantastic job at a fair price. Matt's company will be our "go to" experts for any future work on our home. They did exactly what they said they would do and their work is excellent.

Patrick Collins

Matt has been a pleasure to work with. He is professional, responsive, and reliable when he is hired to do a project. His quality of work is top of the line and I would recommend him to any of my friends or coworkers who are in need of painting.

Ellen Walker

Matt is great - he is reliable, neat, and thorough in his work. I highly recommend him.

Paul Tompkins

Matt and crew did a great job painting the full exterior and trim of our house. The project was completed in a timely manner, on budget and exactly as listed on the contract. He and the members of his crew were polite, considerate and courteous at all times. If we have the need for any future work we will be contacting Matt.

Elizabeth Chance

Matt and his team at Lightfoot Painting and Construction have helped my husband and I with multiple projects, and we have been incredibly pleased with all aspects of his work. Both he and his team are polite, timely, respectful of your home, and most importantly - his work is incredibly good. He is, hands down, the best painter we have worked with. I recommend him highly.

Halsey Blake-Scott

We just had Matt & Co. (great crew) paint our living room, front entrance, staircase, and an upstairs hall. His bid was very reasonable, and we set a time. They showed up everyday on time (and occasionally I'd see them in their cars waiting to the agreed start time), were VERY agreeable, professional, and cleaned up after themselves every day (within reason). The job was beautifully done, and well worth the price. I would recommend them without hesitation. In fact I intend to have him back to do some outside painting when the weather starts being more agreeable. A good experence.

Joseph Guastella

Matt and the entire Lightfoot Painting & Construction team is absolutely top-notch and would definitely recommend for any painting project. I realize his team also does renovation/construction projects, but have not utilized for those purposes...however, would definitely do so after the job his team did painting my house. From receiving an estimate/bid through completion of the project, Matt was honest, responsive and most important, very good at what he does. I selected Lightfoot Painting to paint the exterior of my house and I could not have been happier that I had done so. The bid for the work was very competitive; he was flexible (ie, let me purchase the paint and he did the labor) and his team was efficient and courteous. Again, would recommend Lightfoot and will use again for future needs.

Vicki Poole

Matt is very professional and dependable. He does quality work at reasonable prices and has completed several different jobs for us in the last two years. We have been extremely pleased with the outcomes. My husband and I highly recommend him and will continue to call on him for future work.

David Seidenfeld

I am very pleased with Matt and his team. Professional, fast, and very high quality work. His prices are competitive too. He repainted our kitchen cabinets (36 doors!) and installed a trash drawer. Beautiful work. He will be the first person I call for all contracting, painting, and home repair. I highly recommend him.

Judy Smith

Matt and his team did a great job in giving my old sad kitchen a new look by taking out a wall and painting walls and cabinets. Matt has done small jobs for me before and I have always been very pleased with the results. Very professional, keeps in touch as the project progresses and finishes the job on time. I have recommended him to friends.

Kevin Holt

Matt Lightfoot exemplifies the definition of a true professional. He's organized, honest, knowledgeable, hard working and holds the highest of expectations that his jobs are completed both in a timely manner and with quality results. Working with Matt and his team to paint the exterior of our home proved to be one of the best contractor experiences we have had here in Charlottesville.

Dennis OConnor

Matt and his crew painted our single-family house last week. It looks great. I'm very happy with the job and would contact him again when I need more work done. Here are a few details: - I asked Matt for four estimates (for different scopes of work) and he provided each of them promptly. - He was also good about providing updates as to when the work would begin. When persistent rain disrupted the schedule, he was honest about when he could really begin. - The first step was to power-wash the house. (As a side benefit, our windows never looked so clean!) - Then his crew took about 3 days to paint all of our siding and trim, including a second coat on two sides of the house. - He was flexible in adjusting to my whims. I first decided not to have the trim painted. Then, midway through job, I changed my mind. He was able to accommodate me without much hesitation. - After each day's work, the crew gathered their tools and cans under a tarp so that our property didn't look like a work site. - He was patient about answering my questions and didn't take offense when I commented that my door color seemed a little different than before. - When I hired Matt, I had high expectations about the quality of his work. He met my expectations. As I drive up the hill to our house these days, I admire the job that he and his crew did. I'm very pleased.

I would highly recommend Matt Lightfoot and his company. The quality of his work product is outstanding and his personal attention to both his work and his customer is most welcome.

Chuck Souder

I was very pleased with the responsiveness of Lightfoot Painting from the time I contacted them for a quote through the finished job. They were true to their schedule and started on time and returned for some final finishing touches. The worksite was always kept very clean. The quality of the paint job itself easily met my expectations.

Walter L

I work with Matt regularly. You couldn't ask for a more honorable person to paint your home. I've seen many houses Matt has painted and they are all meticulously done.

Derek Tobler

Lightfoot painting was reasonably priced and excelled is every way. The quality of their work, professionalism and communication was the best I have ever experienced from anyone that has worked on our home. I would give them my highest recommendation.

Lucinda Douglas

Excellent job! Excellent price! Very professional! I will be referring him to my entire neighborhood.

Eric C

I've used them for several projects, and everything has been done well and on time. I would not only recommend them to anyone else, but they would also be the first people I call for my next need.

Reagan Powers

I've worked with Lightfoot Painting and have been very satisfied on each occasion. The group is highly professional both in their interactions and in the quality of the work they do. I would recommend them without reservation!

Dinah Ross

Matt and his crew were very professional and the results were exactly what I wanted. I would not hesitate to call Matt again in the future. Thank you Matt for helping make our house a home!

Steve Fox

Matt has done a number of jobs around our house, including dry wall, painting, appliance installation, and carpentry. He is punctual, reliable, and reasonable. I would recommend Matt has an excellent painter and handyman.

Paige Zelikow

Matt and his crew painted the fence and all the trim on our house. They did a thoroughly professional job. They arrived when promised and cleaned everything up when they were finished. Matt is a pleasure to work with and I would recommend him to my friends without reservation. Just wanted to add that Matt and his crew came back in December 2014 and painted the rest of the exterior of our house. Again, a thoroughly professional job. Very attentive to details, cleaned up everything, and the house looks great. Highly recommended.

Julia Fudala

Matt Lightfoot and crew have been working with our HOA to paint 17 or 18 houses per season on a 6 year cycle. As this is the 6th year he has been with us, he and his crew have painted all 105 houses in the HOA. We are delighted with the work he does. The paint job is excellent as is the quality of paint used. The entire crew is friendly and cooperative. Matt and the HOA have collaborated on a procedure that works well for both parties concerned and transitions smoothly from one year to the next. We are so pleased to have him as our painting contractor and to know the job will be well done, and that we are getting our money's worth. Hire Matt Lightfoot and crew if you want a job well done at a good price!

Robert Bloodgood

We are a long time customer of Lightfoot Painting and Construction. Our most recent project involved a bathroom and bedroom for which they did the wall repair and painting. I was extremely impressed with the attention to detail and the quality of the final product. They did extensive amount of wall repair that we did not even realize was needed and this was the basis of great final appearance. We have in the past used Lightfoot Painting and Construction for outside painting, inside painting, wall and ceiling repair, front porch replacement, wood floor sanding and refinishing and deck work. We have been pleased by the quality of the work in all of these projects.
