Customer Testimonial
We leased a new office space in Abingdon, VA, and after interviewing several companies to paint the interior, we chose Abingdon Painting LLC and owner J.W. Hornsby.
We knew painting our new office would be a challenging job that would require more than just an “average” painter.
The previous tenant had painted the walls with wide black, purple and white stripes, and there were quite a few holes in the walls, some as big as six inches wide.
In addition, this was a former warehouse space, and the side walls of the office were over 25 feet high.
After Mr. Hornsby repaired the drywall and applied the primer and first coat of paint, it started to bubble in many places. Not sure if the paint was defective or if the walls had problems, he spent countless hours attempting to remedy the situation.
He even consulted with Sherwin Williams, whose regional manager visited the work site, and agreed to provide some specialty coating products that solved the problem.
Mr. Hornsby at Abingdon Painting provided impeccable service and was nothing short of a miracle worker with the damaged and challenging walls. He did a superb job, and as a result, we now have a lovely office.
I highly recommend this contractor to anyone.

Customer Testimonial
After a detailed and informative quote, I hired J.W. Hornsby at Abingdon Painting in September 2021 to paint my home's interior for putting on the market.
J.W.'s attention to detail and creative problem solving was unparalleled. In the basement, the stairwell drywall was damaged with large sections missing, the steps and handrails were gouged and splintered, the cinder block walls had evidence of moisture, and the cement floor was severely damaged and cracked. During rainstorms, water would come into the basement through a deep floor crack at the door. It was a massive undertaking.
But J.W. expertly addressed all of the issues. He patched and repaired the stairwell drywall, repaired and sanded the handrails, and installed custom-cut carpet onto each stairstep. He also scraped, patched and painted the cinder block walls with up to 5 coats of sealant in places.
In addition, J.W. used hydraulic cement to patch and smooth the dozens of floor cracks, and created a custom path in the cement floor that routes any storm water into the basement sump pump.
Finally, after extensive scraping, he painted the basement floor with a beautifully-flecked epoxy sealant that truly was a selling point for the buyers.
J.W. Hornsby exceeded my expectations, and I would trust Abingdon Painting with any painting project.

Customer Testimonial
J.W. Hornsby with Abingdon Painting was recommended to us by a friend. We contacted J.W. to give us a quote to repaint our living room, dining room, foyer, and hallway to our bedrooms. The quote was very detailed and professional, and we hired J.W. to start painting our home in December 2022.
From the start we were impressed with J.W.’s attention to detail and quality of workmanship. We have cathedral ceilings in our dining room, living room, and foyer which required J.W. to work many hours from tall ladders.
One section of the cathedral ceiling had past water damage and required replacing a large section (11 ft x 6 ft) section of drywall, which he professionally replaced and repainted. In addition, J.W. worked on matching the existing ceiling pattern until it was just right. In fact, you would never know the ceiling had been patched!
J.W. does meticulous work, and as a result, we have walls, doors, window trim, and ceilings that look fantastic. We highly recommend Abingdon Painting for your painting needs.

UPDATE to our Review
Several months after J.W. completed the work, we noticed a few repaired cracks had re-appeared. We asked J.W. to take a look at the areas, and he indicated that he had recently learned an improved way to repair cracks permanently.
So J.W. made the crack repairs and those areas now look like new. He said there would be no additional charge for the repairs since it had not been that long since the original work was completed. J.W. is an honest person who stands behind his work.
Customer Testimonial
I am pleased to write a recommendation for J.W. Hornsby and his company Abingdon Painting LLC. In February 2021 my wife and I contracted with Abingdon Painting to paint the interior of our house in Marion.
We were impressed with the professionalism and attention to detail that J.W. Hornsby at Abingdon Painting provided. We found him to be reliable, dependable, and fairly priced.
There were several damaged sections of ceiling throughout the house, and J.W. proved his expertise by patching them in such a way that you can't tell there was ever a problem.
Also, he was trustworthy, showed up as promised and on time, and maintained a positive attitude for the duration of the project.
We would recommend the services of Abingdon Painting to anyone who asks.
