Joe Farrell, Owner of Farrell's Painting

My Name's on the Truck. And I'm the One Doing the Work.

I Started Farrell's Painting Because I Was Sick of Hearing Contractor Horror Stories

Twenty years ago, someone told me about a painting job at a factory in Auburn.

I wasn't a business owner back then.

Just a guy who showed up. Did the work. And realized I was pretty darn good at it.

Fast forward to 2019...

I'm sitting at a BBQ.

And THREE different people tell me about getting screwed by painters.

Jobs that were rushed.

Deposits that disappeared.

Contractors who never returned calls.

And I thought... "It doesn't have to be that way."

So I started Farrell's Painting with one SIMPLE promise:

Treat every home like it's my own.

That's it.

No gimmicks. No runaround.

Just honest work. Fair pricing. And accountability.

If I say I'll be there at 8am, I'm there at 8am.

If something changes, you'll be the first to know.

And if you call me at 7 o'clock at night because you have a question?

I'll pick up.

Because my name's on the truck.

And my reputation's on the line.

The Lake House Specialist for Northeast Indiana

If you own a lake house, you've probably seen my truck.

I've painted over 20 homes across Hamilton Lake, Lake James, Crooked Lake, and Jimerson Lake.

I understand what your investment is up against.

Harsh UV rays reflecting off the water.

High humidity.

Brutal freeze-thaw cycles.

Protecting these homes requires more than just a standard coat of paint.

It requires specific preparation. The right materials. And a deep understanding of how to prevent moisture damage and premature fading.

I have one customer on Hamilton Lake who has trusted me with their home SEVEN times.

That's the kind of relationship I build.

Around Here, a Handshake Still Means Something

Reliability

If I say I'll be there at 8am, I'm there at 8am. If something changes, you'll be the first to know. I respect your time, and I finish what I start. No excuses.

Communication

You get my personal cell number from day one. I've been known to talk with customers at 9 o'clock at night to answer a question. You will never be left in the dark.

Quality Craftsmanship

With 20 years of experience, I know what good work looks like—and I know what corners other painters cut to save time. I don't cut them. My goal is a finish that lasts.

Respect for Your Home

Your home is your sanctuary. We treat it that way. We protect your furniture, cover your floors, and clean up every single day. We leave your home cleaner than we found it.

Let's Talk About Your Project

I'll give you a free quote.
