David and House Hues did an amazing job on our 1892 home. The entire team is super nice and all are very professional. David was able to provide multiple color renderings so we would know exactly what we were getting. He and his team did an unbelievable amount of prep work and their attention to detail is astonishing. It was a lengthy process, but that is what makes his work top notch. We could not be happier with the end result. Our home looks better than it has in many years. House Hues is soon to paint the third house on our street…just showing that the quality of his work speaks for itself. David is great at communicating every step of the way. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him and House Hues!

We couldn’t be happier with the transformation of our home! We had our brick limewashed by House Hues and it turned out absolutely stunning and exceeded our expectations. David and his team are incredibly talented and took the time to understand the look we were going for and brought our vision to life. The team was professional, detail-oriented, and a pleasure to work with. David was responsive, and genuinely cared about making sure we loved the final result. If you’re considering limewashing your brick or updating your home’s exterior (or refreshing the interior!) I can’t recommend them enough. The quality of their work speaks for itself.

As an interior designer, I’ve had the pleasure of working with David and his team on a number of projects. Notably, including my own home, in which his team touched nearly every inch of our 8,000 sq ft house after it was completely rewired and plastered. David is my go-to painter, especially for historic homes—he knows plaster, intricate moldings, historic windows—so well. In painting, you are how you prep. David holds his team to exceedingly high standards when it comes to prepping walls (he has also done furniture for me), and the end results are proof of his dedication to his craft. He’s executed everything from high gloss to matte finishes, interiors and exteriors, for me and my clients. Highly recommend.

House Hues did a wonderful job with my home in Regent Square. David was responsive, knowledgeable, straightforward, and fairly priced. His work was timely and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Would work with him again for sure.

House Hues exceeded every expectation. David painted our entire home after a renovation, and his attention to detail is outstanding. He was incredibly thoughtful and particular about the type of paint he used, making sure every product was the right choice for durability, finish, and overall look. He also used a higher‑quality lamb‑wool roller that made the paint application incredibly clean and even — you can see the difference immediately. At a time when we were overwhelmed with decisions, David was patient, knowledgeable, and offered clear recommendations that truly elevated the final look of our home. One of the highlights is our main railing, which he finished in a gorgeous, gloss black. Every contractor who has been in our home since has stopped to admire it and comment on how difficult it is to achieve such a flawless finish. We are thrilled with the work and highly recommend House Hues to anyone looking for quality craftsmanship.

We recently hired House Hues to paint our office kitchen, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. From the very first consultation, Dave was professional, attentive, and eager to get our kitchen paint back to where it was. They arrived on time, treated our space with care, and worked efficiently without cutting corners. The prep work was meticulous—walls and cabinets were cleaned and sanded, and all fixtures were carefully protected. The final paint job is smooth, even, and looks absolutely professional. If you’re looking for a reliable, detail‑oriented painting company that treats your home like their own, we highly recommend House Hues for any painting project you may have.

[about us]

Pittsburgh’s Go-To Painter for High-End Finishes & Detail-Driven Work

House Hues started in 2019 with a simple idea: what if a painting company actually cared about getting it right?

Not just right enough. Not just good enough to pass inspection. Actually right—the kind of right that makes you stop and appreciate the finish, that holds up year after year, that makes your home feel like the space you always wanted it to be.
We’re a top-down craftsmanship business, which means we approach every project with the mindset of delivering the best possible outcome given the starting canvas. Whether we’re working with a brand new build or a century-old home, the goal is the same: create something that stands the test of time.
Our founder, David Lee, built this company on principles he learned doing restoration work—attention to detail, matching products to applications, and never settling for shortcuts. That philosophy runs through everything we do, from the simplest interior repaint to complex high gloss finishes and specialty applications like VeroMetal and Venetian plaster.
We use materials we trust. Fine Paints of Europe. Authentic lime and plaster finishes. Products chosen for longevity and beauty, not just price point. Because the finish is only as good as what’s underneath it and what goes into it.

We’re based in Pittsburgh, and we’re proud to serve the communities that make this region special. Our reputation has been built the old-fashioned way—through word of mouth, repeat clients, and relationships with local homeowners, designers, and builders who know they can count on us.

Our Mission

To create spaces that people want to live in, not just live with. We exist to bring craftsmanship back to an industry that’s forgotten what it means, one home at a time.

Our values:

Our Values

Quality First

We choose materials and methods based on what will last, not what's easiest or most profitable. Every decision is filtered through one question: will this hold up?

Honest Work

No surprises, no hidden costs, no excuses. We say what we'll do, and we do what we say.

Respect for Your Home

We treat every project like it's our own house. Clean workspaces, careful protection, and genuine care for your space

Local Roots

We're Pittsburgh through and through. We live in these neighborhoods, we care about this community, and our reputation matters to us.

Craftsmanship Over Speed

Whether it's staying up to date on products or refining our process, we never stop learning how to do the job better.

[Let’s Work Together]

Let's Create Something Worth Coming Home To

Your home deserves more than a quick paint job. It deserves craftsmanship that lasts, finishes that impress, and an experience that makes the whole process feel effortless.

We’re not for everyone – and that’s by design. We work with homeowners who value quality over speed, who understand that excellence takes time, and who want their investment to show for years to come.

If that sounds like you, let’s talk.
