The painters your neighbors keep recommending.
Triangle Area Painting is a small, family-owned company run by Rick and Kristen Howell out of Holly Springs — painting homes across the Triangle since 2007. The same crew that gives you the estimate is the one that shows up, preps carefully, and walks the finished job with you.
Homeowners tell the same story again and again: professional work at a fair price, a crew that treats the house like their own, and no cut corners on prep. As a veteran-owned company, we're proud to offer a discount to veterans, police, firefighters and EMS. Every job is fully insured.
What we do
Inside, outside, and everything in between.
01
Interior Painting
Walls, ceilings, trim and cabinets — prepped, protected and finished so a room feels brand new.
02
Exterior Painting
Siding, trim and porches — washed, repaired and repainted to protect the house and lift the curb appeal.
03
Carpentry & Rot Repair
Rotten or water-damaged wood replaced, not painted over — with a written estimate for whatever we find.
04
Deck Restoration & Staining
Wooden decks cleaned, restored and stained back into a beautiful, functional extension of your home.
05
Drywall Repairs
Nail pops, stress cracks and holes patched and sanded smooth before we paint.
06
Pressure & House Washing
A gentle, effective wash that leaves siding, decks and walkways looking like new.

We prep it properly
Prep is where a paint job is won or lost. We protect your floors and furniture, repair drywall, caulk and sand, and fix rot rather than paint over it — so the finish lasts.
03
Painted, cleaned, walked with you
We paint carefully, clean up after ourselves, then walk the whole job with you before it's called done. If something isn't right, we make it right.
