Why & When to Paint Your Home - Doug Ireland

00:00 /

Our mission at Freeland Painting & Construction, Inc. is to bring excellence to our clients through home repairs. Painting, roofing, and general renovations are not a unique business but Freeland Painting & Construction intends to be unique within this industry. We believe that our customer’s fulfillment and happiness is our ultimate goal and our only assignment. We believe that only by serving our customers FIRST can we then serve our employees, suppliers, and families.

Freeland Painting & Construction was founded by owners Doug and Keri Ireland in Suwanee, GA on the belief that the construction industry needs a new perspective. We have heard the horror stories and seen the “shoddy” workmanship of what is sometimes passed off as construction. Quality is talked about in the industry but sometimes not practiced. Freeland Painting & Construction is determined to change that.

Specializing in roofing, painting, gutter, insulation, and general renovations, Freeland Painting & Construction is determined to be Atlanta’s premier renovations company.

Doug Ireland spent many years in the construction industry managing multiple trades over time. From residential new construction to multi-family, multimillion dollar projects he was able to hone his skills being trained by the best in the industry. Keri Ireland spent the last decade developing her business skills in Human Recourses and Management. Together, they complement one another and add value to the business in their own unique ways.

With the belief that quality and customer service is INDEED the most important part of every construction project, Freeland Painting & Construction has set out to change the perception of construction companies and never compromise on quality and service.

We believe a quality roof job is more than a collection of felt, nails and asphalt. It is an investment of your time and trust. A quality paint job is more than a collection of rollers brushes and empty paint cans, it is believing that a company can truly transform your home into the living space that you have dreamed about.

We take each job seriously right from the start. We understand that without our customers, we are nothing but men with hammers and nails. What sets us apart is knowing that we can bring so much more than these rudimentary tools of the trade to each job site. We bring experience, honor, and value to each project.

We invite you to find out why we are Atlanta’s premiere renovations company.
