What we do
Residential painting, done right
From a single room refresh to a full exterior repaint — we show up prepared, protect your floors and furniture, and leave the job looking like someone cared.
Exterior painting
Siding, trim, doors, and porches built for Virginia weather. Prep and primers that help the finish hold through heat, humidity, and freeze-thaw.
Drywall & mud work
Full drywall and sheetrock expertise — not just touch-ups. Hang, tape, mud, skim, texture match, and finish work so walls are truly ready before paint goes on.
Specialty finishes
Limewash, Venetian glaze, and masonry flat — plus color guidance so the finish fits the room. High-end looks that need a steady hand, not a roller-only crew.
Our story
From Brooklyn beginnings to Richmond homes
Leo DeLise and his twin sister, Loretta, grew up as first-generation Americans — children of Italian immigrants who started life in Brooklyn, New York. It was there that the family found Benjamin Moore — and we still use those paints today to stay true to that history.
In the 1940s, Leo earned a living painting cars under the Kosciuszko Bridge. That early craft — patience, prep, and pride in a clean finish — became part of the family’s way of working.
Today, I Heard You Paint Houses carries that lineage into residential painting across Richmond, Virginia — careful work for homes that deserve it.
