I’m John Albert, an interior house painter with over 40 years of professional experience. Originally from Waterbury, Connecticut, I now call Carolina Shores, North Carolina, home—where I take on select small painting and restoration projects to stay active and continue doing what I love.
In 1987, I founded Formal Painting and steadily built a reputation for exceptional craftsmanship, reliability, and attention to detail. Over the decades, I’ve honed my skills as a restoration specialist, correcting and improving lower-grade paint jobs so they look flawless and stand the test of time. For me, preparation is never an afterthought—it’s the foundation of every successful project.
I work exclusively with premium paints from Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore, following all manufacturer specifications to ensure professional, lasting results.
My professional values are simple but essential: clear communication, impeccable neatness, and strict attention to detail. I treat every project as if it were my own—protecting furniture, keeping a tidy workspace, and respecting your schedule.
