Our Story
Four generations. One standard.
Michael Renzi Painting is a family-owned company that has led the Berkshire County paint industry for nearly four decades. Founder Michael Renzi was a third-generation painter who built the company on two simple ideas: high-quality work and complete customer satisfaction.
Michael passed away unexpectedly in January of 2015. His legacy continues through the core group of loyal painting professionals who have dedicated themselves — for decades in many cases — to his founding principles.
Today, Michael Renzi Painting Co. LLC is owned and operated by Michael's wife, Deborah Renzi, and continues to uphold the quality of work and core values of its late founder. During the busy season the crew can grow to over twenty painters, and our long-tenured team assimilates members into a family-like culture that shows in every finish.
As of September 2026, Michael's middle son, Matthew, has joined the company — carrying the family trade into a fourth generation.
