Meet Our Owner
David Gaylord
Since 2013, I’ve worked with homeowners throughout the Roanoke Valley on interior and exterior painting projects of all sizes. I started Big Lick Painting with the belief that good work, clear communication, and treating people fairly still matter, and that’s how we continue to operate today.
We focus heavily on proper preparation, quality products, clean job sites, and finishes that hold up well over time. From the initial estimate to the final walkthrough, I stay closely involved throughout the process to help make sure projects run smoothly and customers feel confident in the work being done.
I genuinely appreciate every customer who trusts us with their home or property, and I’d be glad to talk with you about your project.

David is excellent! I am very meticulously in all of my designs. He met my expectations. He is a really nice man and very easy to work with. I will continue to use him and refer him to family, friends and clients.

Our experience with Big Lick Painting was excellent. They protected our flooring and furnishings, did a very professional job in a timely manner and cleaned up. We were very pleased with their work and would not hesitate to use them again.

David did an excellent exterior paint job for me at a VERY reasonable price. He’s very thorough in his prep work, and is precise with detail work. Extremely nice guy, and very easy to communicate with.

Big Lick Painting transformed our house's interior, and I'm beyond impressed! Not only did they paint our walls, they took down an atrocious mirror wall and also made an accent wall of my dreams. Dave and his team were trustworthy during our move, and Dave's communication and kindness stood out. The fair and reasonable quote sealed the deal. Our house feels like a brand new home! Highly recommend.

I couldn’t be happier with the work. Showed up on time, communicated clearly, and the finished paint job looks fantastic. Clean lines, attention to detail, and no mess left behind. Highly recommend!

Dave and his crew have stained two decks for us with the most recent one our deck around the pool. They do excellent work and are very efficient at getting work completed! Dave has been great to work with and I would highly recommend them!
Ashley Gills
I can not say enough good things about Dave and his crew! From the very beginning he was excellent at walking us thru the process and recommending color schemes making the process of my renovation as easy as possible. Very time efficient and budget friendly.

Dave and the guys did a wonderful job redoing my front porch! They were quick, kind, and efficient. My porch looks brand new thanks to them!!
Judy Blankenship
Dave and his team did a fantastic job of removing the very old wallpaper, cleaning, repairing walls for painting. It looks so good. He was the best of preparing us in every step of the process and importance of each. The estimate was the best received. They were on time no delays in completing the job. Very pleased and highly recommend.
