The rooms wait because hiring a painter feels like a gamble
You only notice the chipped trim when someone is coming over.
You called a painter once. He came, measured, and never called back.
You worry more about the mess and the drips than the money.
You picked the color years ago. You just never made the call.
It is not that you stopped caring about your home. It is that too many painters no-show, drip, drag the job out, and disappear. One bad call and you stop calling. So the walls wait another year.
They do not have to. There is a painter in Scranton who does this the old way: show up, prep first, finish clean.
What Mike does
One trusted painter for the whole house
From a single accent wall to the full exterior, the same standard applies: prep first, paint second, leave it clean.
Interior Painting
The heart of what Mike does. Walls, ceilings, trim, doors, and stairways, cut in by hand with clean, sharp lines. Floors and furniture covered before the first can opens. Rooms back in use fast.
- Walls, ceilings, trim, and doors
- Wallpaper removal and repaint
- Damaged walls fixed before paint goes on
- Clean lines, clean house at the end of every day
Exterior Painting
Siding, trim, porches, and railings. Weather-ready paint that protects the house, not just dresses it up.
Drywall Repair
Holes, cracks, and water damage patched and finished so smooth you cannot find the spot after paint.
Deck Staining & Power Washing
Gray, tired decks brought back. Washed, prepped, and stained to stand up to NEPA winters.
Epoxy Floors
Tough, easy-clean epoxy for garages and basements. A floor you stop hiding and start using.
Faux Finishes
Decorative finishes and textures for the wall you want people to talk about.
Color Consultations
Stuck between five grays? Mike has watched colors dry on walls for 35 years. He will help you choose once, right.

Meet Mike
The painter who taught other painters
Mike Doria has painted for more than 35 years, full time since 1987. Before Paint by Doria, he supervised commercial painting crews and taught the trade to new painters. He has seen every shortcut, which is why he does not take any.
Paint by Doria LLC is his own shop, based right here in Scranton. When you call, you talk to Mike. When he quotes the job, the price is the price. And when his crew is in your home, the work is done to the standard he used to grade other painters on.
The Doria Standard
Prep first
Most of a great paint job happens before the can opens. Cover, patch, sand, prime. Paint hides nothing, so the wall gets fixed first.
A supervisor's eye
Mike ran commercial painting crews and taught the trade. The standard he held other painters to is the one your walls get.
Show up, finish clean
On time, on budget, and your home left clean at the end of every day. That should be normal. Around here, it is.

Questions
Frequently asked
What neighbors say
Real reviews, word for word
Pulled straight from Google. Names and all.
“Mike was referred to me by Jim Warren, who is a fine builder, general contractor and handyman in the Scranton area. When I met Mike, we toured my house, and decided to proceed on two small painting jobs. Mike had both accomplished by the next day. So I bit the bullet and asked Mike to paint the whole house, top to bottom, including the garage walls. Mike estimated 4 weeks. On time, and on budget, painting service delivery from Mike and his crew. I couldn't be happier.”
“I just used Mike and his guys to remove wallpaper and paint my house. They are very professional. I even gave them some challenges with not liking one of the colors of paint I choose they repainted with no problem. They were every polite to all three of my children while they worked. I am definitely gonna use them again.”
“Mike and his crew remodeled our real estate office. They did a fantastic job of making it look beautiful. From the great suggestions for colors to the interior flow we all love going to work. Thank you Mike.”
“Fantastic detail will help you every inch of the way from start to finish. Highly Recommend”
