About Shades of Ray
Philadelphia Painters Who Care About the Details
A licensed and insured painting contractor rooted in Philadelphia, dedicated to master-level surface preparation and enduring finishes for historic and modern homes across greater Philadelphia.
Our Approach
Craftsmanship Built on Preparation
Shades of Ray Painting, LLC is a Philadelphia painting contractor built on a simple belief: the finish is only as good as the preparation beneath it. Owner Ray works directly with homeowners to understand each property, its substrate, and its architectural character before a single coat goes on.
From historic brick rowhomes in Center City and Queen Village to grand stone estates in Chestnut Hill and the Main Line, we treat every facade and interior room with surgical precision. Our process favors low-VOC formulations, dustless preparation, and clear written estimates so you know exactly what to expect.
What Sets Us Apart
Meticulous Surface Preparation
Lasting finishes start below the surface. We stabilize plaster, remove failing layers, and level substrates before a brush ever touches your walls.
Licensed & Insured in PA & NJ
Shades of Ray Painting, LLC carries the licensing and insurance that protect your property and your project, on both sides of the river.
Flexible, Respectful Scheduling
