James Hebert, the proud owner of Five Star Painting of Lafayette, is a husband and father who understands the value of home, family, and quality work. After spending over two decades in the oil and gas industry, he found himself at a career crossroads during the 2016 downturn. With a lifelong desire to own his own business and a knack for quality-driven work, James stepped into a new chapter—opening Five Star Painting right here in Acadiana. Nine years later, his business has grown steadily, built on reliability, reputation, and a true local touch.

Though Five Star Painting is part of a respected national franchise, James runs the Lafayette branch as a fully local, independently operated business. That means homeowners connect directly with James and his team, who live and work in the community. And while the national brand provides access to tools and resources that help streamline the process, James brings the personal care and attention to detail that clients remember.

“We’re customer focused and quality driven,” James says, referencing the company’s motto. “That’s something we strive for on every single job.”

Whether you're painting a few bedrooms or transforming your home’s entire exterior, Five Star Painting has the experience and team to get it done. Services include interior painting, exterior painting (including brick, stucco, and hardy board), trim work, and ceilings. They even provide light carpentry repairs, so rotting fascia or soffits don’t hold up your project. It's the perfect "two birds with one stone" solution that busy homeowners appreciate.

They also specialize in door refinishing, a must-have in neighborhoods like Sugar Mill Pond where real wood entryways face intense Louisiana sun and humidity. “A lot of homeowners don’t realize those doors should be resealed every 6 to 12 months,” James explains. “Waiting too long can mean replacing the door entirely.”

Five Star Painting stands out from the crowd with a level of professionalism not always found in the trades. All quotes are presented in clear, detailed, and professional proposals—not scribbled estimates. The team is prompt, courteous, and leaves homes spotless, particularly on interior jobs where cleanliness and respect for the homeowner’s space are key.

They also offer a two-year labor warranty, more than 60 five-star Google reviews, and an easy online booking system that shows available time slots and lets you book without ever picking up the phone. Once you schedule an appointment, you’ll get reminders, updates, and confirmation texts—all part of a seamless, modern experience that puts the customer first.

James and his crews have completed several standout projects in neighborhoods like Sugar Mill Pond and River Ranch—and word of mouth travels fast. “We’ve had several times where we’re painting one house, and the neighbor comes by to ask for a quote. That tells me we’re doing something right,” he says.

They regularly capture before and after photos of projects—especially those dramatic color updates—and are happy to provide references or testimonials from local clients.

James runs a lean and efficient team, with two main crews and a few trusted solo painters for smaller jobs. Even after nine years in business, he remains hands-on and committed to making each customer feel heard, valued, and satisfied.

So whether you’re prepping for guests, tired of the same old wall color, or just need to fix up some weather-worn trim, Five Star Painting of Lafayette is ready to help—right here in your neighborhood.
