Meet the Team

Tabitha VanDyke
Owner and Founder

Tabitha found a love for painting in her 20s when an old friend mentored her on the skill of freehand painting with straight lines and attention to detail. Tabitha started The Friendly Painter with the idea of meeting people, hearing their ideas, listening to the changes they wanted in their homes and finishing each job with pride in her work.

Tabitha gets just as excited about a new project as a homeowner does for their transformation.

She is passionate about painting and it shows in her end work product. To top it off, she often creates new relationships with all of her clients along the way!

She is very reliable, communicates well and completes a project to your satisfaction. She is also one of the most pleasant contractors you’ll ever work with. We highly recommend The Friendly Painter!"

Followed up throughout the day asking if there were any concerns as the light changed in the rooms. It was all perfect. And they are very very competitively priced!! SO refreshing to find a service business who is so capable and professional in today's world. We will be having them back for the rest of the house!!"

    Steve Davies

  • "Tabitha and her team did an amazing job transforming our master bedroom and upstairs hallway. Both spaces got a much needed facelift. I would highly recommend Tabitha to family and friends as she did a fantastic job, was on time, left no mess and as her LLC says, is so friendly!!"

    Katrina Duff

  • "I had Tabitha out to paint my garage and the garage floor recently and she did a wonderful job! Being out of state from the property always makes you a bit nervous but she was very communicative the entire time, had great recommendations for me on how to get the floor painted properly, and sent me plenty of before and after pictures to make sure I was comfortable during the whole process. When I had a chance to visit the property last week I was very impressed with the work and she'll be the first person I call next time I need some painting work done! Thanks again for the great work!"
