Richmond VA Painting Company - Locally Owned
Why Richmond Homeowners Choose WOW 1 DAY PAINTING
Joel Elswick owns and operates WOW 1 DAY PAINTING Richmond. Before launching his franchise, Joel spent 7 years in the insurance industry serving high-hazard businesses — where he learned that delivering real value means doing the work to listen, understand your client’s specific goals and challenges, and then offering the right solution. He brings that same approach to residential and commercial painting. His crew is fully licensed and insured in Virginia and uses low- and no-VOC quality paint products. Every project is led by a senior Emerald Shirt painter: a professional who has completed WOW’s quality certification program and is accountable for the result before the crew leaves.
The Richmond painting team specializes in interior and exterior painting, brick painting and staining, cabinet painting and refinishing, deck and fence staining, trim painting, garage painting, exterior repairs, and light carpentry across Richmond, Short Pump, Midlothian, Bon Air, Glen Allen, Mechanicsville, and Ashland.

Exterior Painters Richmond VA - Brick, Trim, Decks, Fences & Masonite
Exterior Painting in Richmond VA
Exterior painting in Richmond VA is active May through October — fall (September–October) is the team’s favorite exterior season, with ideal temperatures, lower humidity, and no pollen concerns. March through May can be difficult due to peak pollen. Summer exterior work is available but humidity must be managed. Winter exterior is limited to warm, dry stretches where conditions allow — a handful of days typically permit small exterior projects even in the coldest months.
