What Your Neighbors Are Saying
"Just had the entire interior of my house painted by Van Horn. The crew was incredible! They had the utmost respect for my home and genuinely cared about the finished product. A shout out to Manny, Freddy, Whim, Vinny and Dan for a job well done! I would highly recommend Van Horn for your next painting project."

"The Van Horn team is truly the best. From start to finish our experience was exceptional. Dan is professional and kind and helped ensure our experience was top notch. Mikey and his team helped make our new house feel like a home. He goes above and beyond and is always punctual. Could not have imagined a better experience. Our house feels brand new. Thanks team."
Nathan H.
"We love our new house! We have lived here for almost 6 years, but since you painted for us, we feel like it’s a brand new house every time we pull in the driveway. Our friends and neighbors have been just as ‘wowed’ – the colors and attention to detail are just fantastic! I’d expect a lot more calls from the Exton and Malvern areas. I have been giving everyone your number! Thanks again, you guys are great!”
Alison F.
"Our house feels like home thanks to you, your painting skills and your excellent customer service! You provided quality service, came as scheduled every day, delivered as promised, kept as house as neat as when you arrived, were courteous, gave your honest (and right-on) advice when asked. Please use us as a reference whenever needed! I am a very difficult customer to please. And you not only pleased us with your expert skills, you exceeded our expectations! After living in a home for 30 years and downsizing to a smaller space, I feel as comfortable now as I did in our “old” home. This is, in large part, due to the effort, time and skill you put into painting all the rooms in our new home. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am your biggest fan and am sure will have friends who will need your expert painting experience!"
