Meet Tony
A painter who sweats the details you see every day.
Tony LaBarck started Painter Tony in 2022 with a simple standard: creativity, clear communication and quality on every project, big or small. You are involved and informed at every stage, from the first color conversation to the final walkthrough.
In 2025, Tony earned certification from Fine Paints of Europe, the Dutch paint maker whose high-gloss enamels are some of the most demanding finishes in the trade. That training shows up in the crisp lines and glass-smooth surfaces you will see throughout this site.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
What areas does Painter Tony serve?
Painter Tony works across the Maryland and Delaware beaches and the lower Eastern Shore, including Ocean City, West Ocean City, Ocean Pines, Berlin, Salisbury, Snow Hill and Pocomoke City in Maryland, and Fenwick Island, Bethany Beach, Dewey Beach and Rehoboth Beach in Delaware, plus the surrounding areas.
Are estimates free?
Yes. Estimates are free. Tony will look at the surfaces, talk through colors, products and sheens with you, and give you a clear scope of what is included so there are no surprises once work begins.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Painter Tony, operated by Portside Painting LLC, is fully licensed and insured for residential and commercial work.
What does Fine Paints of Europe certified mean?
Fine Paints of Europe makes premium paints in Holland, known for remarkably smooth, deep high-gloss enamels. Tony completed their certified painter program in 2025, which means Tony was trained directly on how to apply their products for the finish they are designed to deliver.
Do you work on rental properties and second homes?
Yes. Many homes at the beach are second homes or rentals, and projects can be planned around your rental calendar or while you are away. Scrubbable, durable paints are a smart choice for properties that see a lot of guests.
How does salt air affect paint at the beach?
Salt, wind, humidity and strong sun break paint down faster near the ocean and bays than inland. Careful prep, especially cleaning off salt residue before painting, and weather-resistant coatings are what help a coastal paint job last.
