Pelican Paint Group

Pelican Paint Group takes on painting jobs around Metairie. Randy Trainor runs the outfit with Lloyd and others. They handle full exterior repaints on houses and buildings, swap out old siding for Hardie board, pressure wash surfaces, and handle prep steps like sanding and caulking before the paint goes on. Some projects also cover interior walls, trim, and ceilings when damage shows up during the work.

Homeowners describe crews fixing tight access spots on house sides, stripping and replacing worn vinyl siding, power washing community centers, and finishing off with clean paint lines on every surface. Jamir and his team get called out for quick ladder work in narrow yards. Christian stays on as the main contact to keep things moving. Andres and Jose handle quotes and daily oversight. Floyd and Randy often start with the initial walk through and step by step plan. Projects finish with no leftover mess and results that beat what owners expected.

Crews show up on time or early most days and stay late when the schedule needs it. They explain the full process up front, answer questions fast, and keep the site neat after each shift. Pricing comes in fair with no added surprises once the quote is set. Work covers spots in New Orleans, the French Quarter, and Mid City. Communication stays steady from the first visit through the final check.

Reviewers keep pointing to solid prep, careful protection of windows and plants, and crews that treat the place like their own. The company earns a Google rating of 4.9 from 218 reviews. DIRT Score 4.8 from 218 reviews on Finds.

“I just had Pelican Paint do the sides of my house. One side is VERY close to the neighbor, and they were able to figure out how to maneuver ladders and get the job done quickly and efficiently. A very, very special shout out to Jamir and his team. They were so professional, kind and efficient at their jobs. They did such wonderful and professional work. The entire process from start to finish was really fast and the service top notch. THANK YOU!”

“Randy and Lloyd started off by coming out and giving us a quote shortly after reaching out to them. They took their time to explain the whole process step by step of what they would do and made us feel very comfortable and confident with using them. The crew that painted the home were very neat and careful and really seemed like they knew what they were doing. Not once throughout the process did they have a mess around the house or any issues. Christian was the field point of contact and made sure everything was going smooth and was very helpful anytime I reached out to him with any questions. Overall, we are very pleased with the outcome and love the new look of the house. Would highly recommend Pelican Paint Group.”

“I'm blown away!!! They did such an amazing job painting the outside of our community center!!! They also did a fantastic job pressure washing the entire building. They were very professional. They taped and covered up every doors, windows, lights, plants, and security cameras. They were friendly, easy to work with, and accommodated every single requests we asked for. We highly recommend them and will be calling them for any future jobs. Shout out to Jamir, Christian, and Alex. The best painters, pressure washers, and all around best people.”

“I had a great experience working with Pelican Paint. Andres and Christian were fantastic from start to finish—always up front, reliable, and easy to trust. When they said they’d do something, they followed through without hesitation. That level of integrity really stood out. They redid the siding on my home (Hardie board) and repainted the entire house, and the results honestly came out even better than I expected. Beyond the quality of the work, they were extremely friendly, took the time to walk me through everything, and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. The pricing was fair, and I was more than satisfied with how quickly and efficiently they completed the project. Big thanks to Andres and Christian—really appreciate the work you put in. Highly recommend Pelican Paint!”

“My wife and I are almost finished getting the exterior of our house painted by Pelican Paint Group. We are extremely pleased and happy with the results that they delivered. We interviewed several paint companies and no one was more prompt, professional, and courteous than Pelican Paint Group. From the sales rep, Mr. Mike who was very nice and eager to assist, to Jose and his crew for showing up on time and putting in the hard work each day, and Mr. Floyd for helping us out and being patient, the entire team all provided excellent customer service and attention to detail throughout the process. They treated us like family and you don’t get that treatment very often when dealing with contractors. PPG transformed our house into home that we envisioned and we couldn’t be happier with the results and the craftsmanship that they provided. Thank you!”

“I recently hired Pelican Paint Group for a full exterior repaint of my home, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. Their team was professional, punctual, and clearly experienced. From the initial quote (with Andres) to the final walkthrough, everything was handled with care and precision. The transformation of my home’s exterior is incredible. The crew did thorough prep work, including power washing, sanding, and caulking — which made all the difference in the final result. The paint application was flawless, with clean lines, even coverage, and no mess left behind. Cristhian and his crew were top notch! What impressed me most was their attention to detail and communication throughout the project. They helped me choose the right color scheme to complement the style of my home and gave thoughtful input that made the final look even better than I imagined. Neighbors have already asked who did the work, and I have no hesitation recommending Pelican Paint Group. If you’re looking for high-quality, reliable residential exterior painting, these are the pros you want.”

“David and his crew are awesome They were total professionals Everything was protected during process and cleaned up prestine Would highly recommend”

“They worked efficiently and did fantastic, high quality work. We had a multi-week long job and they worked tirelessly every day of the week. Christian did an amazing job communicating with me about the scope of the work that was required, any speed bumps along the way, and coordinated with the crews to get everything done with any specialized work. They made the work fairly painless for removing old, worn vinyl siding, repairing issues, and replacing with Hardie board.”

“Way to go Pelican!! Thank you for the amazing work you all did for our client. They couldn’t be happier and we appreciate your hard work and commitment to integrity. The house has a new life and adds to the beauty of that corner in the French Quarter. Thank you Floyd, Randy and especially your project manager David. You all are a great team. 🙏🏽”

“Excellent work from start to finish. Floyd’s team, led by project manager Christian and his crew, delivered outstanding results. They showed up on time and took real care with the prep work and execution. Christian kept us in the loop throughout the process, which made a big difference. They clearly take pride in doing the job right. Highly recommend.”

“Every moment of my experience .. from the first contact until I said goodbye to these wonderful painters was an absolute joy! Andres , as my salesman , delivered on everything he promised and more. I was lucky enough to get Jamir and his crew as painters. No detail, however small was overlooked. Professional, great communication, always eager and willing to please us. I can’t praise these guys enough.”

“Hands down the best contractor I've worked with in New Orleans. This team showed up on time--or early--every day and worked past normal working hours--six days a week for two weeks. They cleaned up every day, were courteous, professional, and pickier about their results than I was. Absolutely world class.”

“I hired pelican to replace my leaky roof and soon learned that they could repair and replace my water damaged ceilings and floors. Pelican also painted ceilings, walls and all molding and trim. All work was top notch and completed on time including additional unanticipated damage to roof substructure. Christhian the foreman was the best and always available to solve every problem that came up. Mark the salesman worked with me on the additional costs and lined me up with interest free financing so that I could complete the project. Highly recommend this company !!!”

“Pelican Paint just completed painting the exterior of our house in Mid City. From start to finish our experience with the company was exceptional. Phil in sales and Christian the project manager kept us informed every step of the way. The painters showed up everyday on time and cleaned up after the days work. The end result was better than expected. We highly recommend the Pelican Paint Group for your painting project.”

“Owner Randy Trainor and Lloyd came to the house and explained their experience and the ten step application process they developed and use. I selected Pelican Paint from a group of several companies I had interviewed based on that interview and the quoted price. The quote folder included copies of the certified 10 step process, licenses and certificate of accreditation from the BBB. The scope of my work was soffit, fascia and three doors (front, back and garage) to repair, patch, caulk and and paint. How I rate them: Quality of work - Excellent Attention to details - Excellent Communication - Excellent Job performance from start to finish and cleanup - Excellent Jamir and Christian are consummate professionals who care about their customers and the quality of their work. Thanks, guys! The house is Beautiful!! Absolutely, I will use them again. You will be glad you chose Pelican Paint!”

“I decided to repaint several rooms after the walls had accumulated years of marks and the colors no longer worked well together. The project involved preparing the walls, dealing with a few minor imperfections, and applying the new paint. I was surprised by how much difference a fresh finish made, especially in the rooms with darker or older colors. The new colors also work better with the flooring and furniture that were already there. Once everything was finished and the rooms were put back together, the house felt noticeably brighter and cleaner. It was a fairly simple update that made a meaningful difference.”

“Professional, excellent service. Responsive and thoughtful. I recommend wholeheartedly. Randy and his team are just great all around.”

“Pelican Paint recently refurbished the exterior of my NOLA cottage. What they did was much more than a paint job. While the cottage was renovated 5 years ago, before I purchased it, the paint was flaking off on the trim. After power washing the cottage last Fall, more paint blew off the siding, meaning it was never properly prepped before the last paint job. I procured 3 bids from professional companies, Pelican Paint being the last. Their bid was the most thorough, and interestingly the least expensive. Their rep, Richard Zimmer, was very precise in explaining what sets Pelican apart from other companies and proudly outlined their processes and offered a lifetime guarantee on their product/services, which is a big promise. After seeing their processes in real time, I quickly understood how Pelican can confidently stand behind their work. Since I live out of state and wanted to make sure I was onsite during the prep and paint work, I took my time accepting a bid. During those couple months, Richard kept in touch with me and when NOLA went through a prolonged freeze, he offered to go by my cottage and unhook hoses and wrap outside spigots. When the snow came, he went back ”

“Pelican Paint Group did a wonderful job refreshing my home with new, bright colors. They were fast, responsive, and reasonably priced - and the quality of the work was excellent with good attention to detail. José, the project manager/foreman, was extremely friendly and helpful. I recommend them!”

“100% recommend going with Pelican! They did an amazing job on my home, they worked with me making sure it was exactly what we wanted every step of the way and the professionalism in both their work and their customer service is unmatched.”
