Painting Made Pure and Simple

Hillis Brothers Painting started in 1992 as two brothers with a ladder and a work ethic. Three decades later, we run multiple crews across West Michigan, painting everything from starter homes in Byron Center to lakefront properties in Grand Haven.

Our approach hasn't changed. Protect the property. Prep every surface. Communicate clearly. Leave a finish the homeowner is proud to show off.

We're not a franchise. We're not a sales team. We're painters.

What Our Customers Say

Talk about a great first impression of Hillis Bros. We had them come in to paint the walls of our living areas and all the doors on the main floor. Let me tell you - They knocked it out of the park from the beginning, all the way to the finish line. Jonathan on the front end - timely, professional, knowledgeable - everything you could ask for from the guy listening to our needs and then putting a quote together to match. Their designer - I was not at the house when she stopped by to follow up with my spouse. My spouse is also a designer, and she was hesitant about having the designer stop by. But she was very pleased with the visit and found it very helpful to fine-tune our plans so we could go into the project with confidence. Having the designer available is a great value-add for Hillis Bros. Madison and Meg were also very personable and professional when they arrived to start the project. And then, having Bobby join the team as well to take care of the doors and to help finish off any loose ends worked out great. Bobby's experience was very helpful addressing any remaining questions/punch list items we had. He stayed right to the end and made sure the project was all wrapped up. He left a great impression of Hillis Bros. And then there is Nate, one of the owners - making himself available directly, throughout the whole process, as a go-to person. Well done! We are very happy with the results from Hillis Bros. and we love the new look of our living area (and the fresh white of all the doors on the first floor). We will definitely stay in touch for future work. Thank you for making sure this important project of ours went so well.

This is the second time we've hired Hillis Brothers Painting here in Grand Rapids, and they continue to be our go-to choice. The crew was timely, efficient, and incredibly thorough, but what truly stood out was how everyone was always so friendly and warm. Throughout the project, they were consistently respectful of our home and our outside space, which we really appreciated. Johnny, the project coordinator, was fantastic very attentive and responsive to all our needs. It's great to work with a team that listens well, treats your property with care, and is a pleasure to have around. We would definitely use them again and highly recommend them!

If I could give them 10 stars I would. Harrison and the team were so professional and efficient. We had painting scheduled right before the holidays and they wanted to make sure we would have time to settle into our home after painting. They painted all of our main living spaces and trim- including our 100 year old windows with all the small grid lines. It turned out better than I could have anticipated, they filled all the holes in the walls and all the cracks in our trim that have shown from old age. I would recommend them to anyone. They took care of our space and gave us an exceptional service!
