About

Meet Jon Hammond

Jon has been working with his hands since he was 16, when his stepdad introduced him to Sheetrock and the trades.

Along the way, he learned more than how to hang and finish drywall—he learned to work hard, take pride in what he does, and that "good enough" usually isn't good enough.

More than 20 years later, Jon has turned that foundation into years of experience in painting, finishing, and transforming homes throughout the area.

And the name Meticulous isn't just there because it sounds good on a truck.

Jon is the guy who will notice the spot everyone else walked past. He checks the details, looks at things from every angle, and has been known to inspect finished work like it's personally offended him. If something isn't right, he wants it fixed before the job is considered finished.

When he's not working, Jon is a husband and dad to six kids—which means he's experienced with a completely different kind of mess. He understands that your house isn't just another jobsite. It's your home, and he believes it should be treated that way.

Meticulous Painting was built around a simple philosophy: show up, do what you say you're going to do, take pride in your work, and leave the customer with something you're proud to put your name on.

Because when it comes to your home

Don't Be Ridiculous. Call Meticulous.
