Family-owned · Cary, NC · Painting + flooring under one roof
One local family, painting and flooring Triangle homes since 1986.
Metcalf Painting & Flooring was started by Craig Metcalf in Cary back in 1986. Four decades later it's still a family business — Craig and his wife Merri Lea run it, their daughter Carmen heads up the flooring side, and the crews you meet are the ones who do the work. That continuity is why so many Triangle homeowners call us back for the next room, the next house, the next generation.
We handle both sides of a refresh under one roof: interior and exterior painting with top-line Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore finishes, and flooring — carpet, hardwood and luxury vinyl — chosen with you and installed to last. Every job ends with a final walk-through, and we don't collect payment until you're happy with what you see.

Why Metcalf
The reasons families keep calling us back.
40 years, one family
Started by Craig Metcalf in Cary in 1986 and still family-run — the Metcalfs are on the business, not just the sign out front.
Paint and floors together
Refreshing a room? We handle both the walls and the floors, so it’s one team, one schedule, one point of contact.
Top-line products
Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore paints, and flooring chosen with you in our showroom — quality that lasts, not the cheapest option.
Paid only when you’re happy
Every job ends with a walk-through, and we don’t collect payment until you’ve seen the finished work and you’re satisfied.
Tidy, respectful crews
Furniture covered, floors protected, site cleaned up daily — the thing reviewers mention again and again.
A 2-year guarantee
Our workmanship is backed for two years, so you’re covered well after the crew has packed up.
