Why Choose Us Over Other Local Painters?
When it comes to finding a painting company in Potomac, MD, homeowners often compare price tags. But at First Class Painting & Carpentry, we believe value is measured by what lasts long after the paint dries.
Unlike competitors who may cut corners or use cheaper products, we combine premium materials, expert preparation, and carpentry skill to ensure every project is built to last. Our 3-year workmanship warranty (triple the industry standard) is proof of our confidence. While others may offer quick fixes, we deliver craftsmanship that protects your investment, improves curb appeal, and gives you peace of mind.
Our Story Began with a Commitment to Craft
In the winter of 1988, founder John Devincenti started First Class Painting & Carpentry with a simple mission: bring honesty, reliability, and true craftsmanship back to the trades. At the time, many families were investing in their homes instead of the uncertain real estate market. John saw an opportunity—not just to provide professional painting services, but to create lasting relationships built on trust.
From those early days in Rockville, Maryland, the company grew to serve communities throughout Potomac, Bethesda, Arlington, and beyond. Today, our team carries forward John’s legacy by treating every project as if it were our own home, guided by the same principles of quality and integrity.

Our mission is clear: to provide exceptional painting and carpentry services with professionalism, respect, and care. Every brushstroke, repair, and finish is an opportunity to honor the trust our clients place in us.
For us, it’s not just about changing colors—it’s about protecting homes, creating spaces where families thrive, and ensuring every homeowner feels proud of the place they call home.
