Brackens Painting is a painting contractor based right here in Berkeley County. Our office sits at 130 W Burke St in downtown Martinsburg, and we’ve been painting homes and businesses across the county since Kevin Brackens founded the company in 2011. When you hire us for a project in Martinsburg, Hedgesville, Inwood, or anywhere else in the county, you’re working with a local crew — not a company driving in from somewhere else.
Berkeley County Is Our Home Base
Berkeley County isn’t a service area we expanded into. It’s where the company started and where it still runs from today. Our office, our crews, and most of our team are based in the county. Foreman Nick Frank and Business Operations Manager Chandler Petty both live in Berkeley County, and Sales Manager Christian Rudy is a Berkeley County native who also coaches youth basketball locally.
That local footing makes a practical difference when you’re choosing a contractor. Scheduling is simpler, response times are quicker, and we already know the kinds of homes the county is built on. Kevin Brackens is a fourth-generation painter and a military veteran, and Brackens Painting is licensed and insured. More than a decade of word-of-mouth reputation across the Eastern Panhandle was earned, in large part, right here.
Painting Services We Offer in Berkeley County
We’re a full-service painting contractor, and the same crews handle nearly every painting need a Berkeley County property owner runs into:
- Interior painting — single rooms through whole-home repaints, including walls, ceilings, trim, doors, stairwells, and high or vaulted ceilings
- Exterior painting — siding, trim, shutters, doors, porches, and foundations
- Cabinet refinishing — a cost-effective alternative to replacing kitchen cabinets
- Commercial painting — offices and commercial buildings, including occupied spaces where we work around your business hours
- Deck and fence painting and staining
- Garage floor epoxy coatings
- Drywall repair and patching — handled as part of surface prep when walls need it
Color consultation comes with the project. Kevin helps customers work through color and finish choices and steers them toward quality products — Brackens Painting uses Sherwin Williams paint and doesn’t cut it with water to stretch it.
Need a painting estimate in Berkeley County? Call Brackens Painting at (304) 620-5342. Kevin or our office team will set up a free, no-pressure estimate at your home or business — most are scheduled within a day or two of your call.
What to Expect When You Hire Us
The process is straightforward. You call our Martinsburg office or send a request through our website, and someone gets back to you quickly. Kevin handles most estimates himself — he comes out, looks at the space, takes measurements, answers your questions, and gives you a clear, easy-to-understand quote, often the same day or within a few days.
Once you’re ready to move forward, Chandler keeps you in the loop on scheduling and reconfirms your color choices before any paint goes on. On the job, crews show up on time, protect your furniture and floors, prep surfaces — including patching and drywall repair where needed — and clean up at the end of every workday, not just when the job is done. Kevin or a crew lead checks the finished work before we consider it complete.
Painting Projects We’ve Completed in the County
Berkeley County is where a lot of our work lives. We repainted the exterior of one of the Children’s Home Society of West Virginia’s Martinsburg properties, taking it from a bright blue to a calm green-grey. We also donated the complete repainting of the Hedgesville High School Eagles Baseball batting cages in the school’s blue and gold colors, and we volunteered our crews to refresh and restore the historic ballroom at the Apollo Theater in downtown Martinsburg — a cornerstone of the city’s arts and entertainment district.
From a Berkeley County Customer
The Children’s Home Society of West Virginia’s Martinsburg site shared this after we repainted one of their houses:
“Kevin Bracken came to give a quote within the same week that we called inquiring about the paint service. We received the quote the same day. Kevin explained what paint to use and what he would recommend. The job was completed in 3 days. This business was professional, within our budget and great to work with!”
Communities We Serve Across Berkeley County
We paint for homeowners and businesses throughout the county, including Martinsburg, Hedgesville, Inwood, Falling Waters, Spring Mills, Bunker Hill, Gerrardstown, and the surrounding areas. We also work across the rest of the Eastern Panhandle and into Northern Virginia.
Older Homes and Newer Construction — We See Both Here
Berkeley County’s housing is a mix. Downtown Martinsburg and the older neighborhoods around it have homes built decades — sometimes a century or more — ago, while areas like Spring Mills and Inwood have grown quickly with newer subdivisions. The two need different things from a painter. Older homes often require more careful surface prep, repair of settling cracks and worn surfaces, and attention to lead paint in anything built before 1978. Newer construction is usually about clean, consistent application and getting builder-grade finishes upgraded to something that lasts. We adjust the prep and product choices to the home in front of us rather than treating every job the same.
