The Crew Behind MountainWood

A local painting crew, ten years in, working in the towns we live in. When we finish your house we still have to run into you at the grocery store.

Our Team

    Jake Burella

    Owner

    Jake is the owner of MountainWood Painting and has been building the company since 2016. What started as a small local painting business has grown into a trusted team serving homeowners and businesses throughout Collingwood, The Blue Mountains, Thornbury, Creemore, and the surrounding area. Jake oversees the direction of the company, with a focus on creating a great experience from the first estimate through to the finished project. His approach has always been simple: communicate clearly, do what you say you’re going to do, and always prioritize customer satisfaction.

  • Aleks

    Production Manager

    Aleks has been part of MountainWood Painting since the very beginning, working alongside the company for all 10 years of its existence. Over that time, he has played a major role in developing the level of workmanship and attention to detail that MountainWood is known for today. As Production Manager, Aleks oversees our projects in the field, helping coordinate the crew, maintain our quality standards, and make sure every project is completed properly from start to finish. His decade of experience with MountainWood makes him an important part of both our team and the experience we provide our clients.

    Aleks' attention to detail was outstanding and their customer service was on point. I would definitely recommend their services and would hire them again!

  • The Crew

    Painters

    Our painters are the heart of MountainWood. They are skilled, hardworking, and take real pride in their work, treating every home with the same care they would want for their own.

What You Can Expect

The same standards on every job, whether it is a single room or a full exterior.

  • Fully insured and WSIB covered

    MountainWood is fully insured, and every member of our crew is covered by WSIB, so you and your property are protected on every job.

  • Our own crew

    We do not subcontract our work. Every painter on your project is part of the MountainWood team.

  • Reliable scheduling

    You get a clear start date and timeline before the job begins, and we show up when we say we will.

  • Thorough preparation

    Surfaces are cleaned, filled, sanded, and primed where needed before any paint goes on. Good prep is what makes a finish last.

  • Respect for your home

    Floors, furniture, and fixtures are covered and protected, and the work area is cleaned up at the end of every day.

  • Clear communication

    Jake handles your estimate and Aleks manages the work on site, so you always know who to talk to.

We Live Where We Work

Everything we paint is within about forty minutes of home. Collingwood, Blue Mountain, Thornbury, Creemore, and the places in between like Nottawa, Clarksburg, Craigleith, and Markdale.

That is not a service area we drew on a map to look impressive. It is genuinely where we are, which is why we can come back for a touch-up without it being a whole production, and why we are careful about how we leave your street as well as your house.
