Most Painters Care About the Check. We Care About Your Experience.

Meet Nick Ruggieri

Nick was studying finance in college when COVID sent everything online. Sitting behind a screen all day, he realized the corporate path was not for him. He wanted to be out in the world, building something real.

One afternoon on a boat with a friend, the conversation turned to business ideas. Power washing came up, and that was the spark. What started as a side hustle quickly evolved into something bigger. Nick realized that painting and power washing go hand in hand, and Pocono Pro's Painting & Power Washing was born.

At just 25 years old, Nick has grown the company to 3 full-time crews and over 300 completed projects across Northeastern Pennsylvania. He still walks job sites, meets with homeowners, and holds his team to a standard most contractors ignore.

For Nick, this is not just about painting walls. It is about building something he can be proud of, creating a future with time for family, travel, and the things that matter. That vision shows up in every project Pocono Pro's Painting & Power Washing takes on.

Meet Joe

At 25 and a Bloomsburg University grad, Joe started his career in sales, where he learned the importance of communication, reliability, and understanding clients. But over time, he realized he loved working with his hands and seeing the real impact of his effort — which led him to painting.

Joe joined Pocono Pros at the start of 2025 and quickly became a key part of our team. He’s hands-on, detail-oriented, and committed to making sure every project runs smoothly and meets our standards. Quality, communication, and craftsmanship are what he brings to every job.

Outside of work, Joe is a family-oriented guy who loves fishing and being outdoors. Painting isn’t just a job to him — it’s a craft he takes pride in, and he’s dedicated to delivering results that homeowners can be proud of.

Meet Jack Monte

Born and raised in the scenic Wallenpaupack area, Jack grew up with a deep appreciation for the outdoors. After high school, he went on to Saint Joseph’s University in Philadelphia, where he briefly ran track while earning his degree in accounting. The business foundation was solid — but his true passion ended up somewhere else.

Jack found his way into commercial painting, specializing in decks and residential projects. It was the perfect mix of hard work, creativity, and real connection with homeowners. After gaining experience in the insurance world, he realized he wanted a more hands-on career where he could work directly with people. That path led him to Pocono Pros, where he now focuses on helping clients get the best service and the smoothest experience possible.

Outside the job, Jack stays active in the gym and plays guitar in his band, All Day Special. He’s big on adventure, the outdoors, and constantly trying new things. He brings that same energy into every project — dedicated, personable, and committed to making sure every client gets exactly what they’re looking for.

Meet Nick

Born and raised in Hawley, PA, Nick is 24 and has been painting for about 2 years. What he loves most about the job is getting to work alongside friends he grew up with while pushing toward shared goals and high-quality results.

Nick takes customer satisfaction seriously — making sure every homeowner is happy before the crew leaves, and always being willing to return if something needs attention. Outside of painting, he serves in the Army National Guard, a commitment he feels has shaped him into a stronger, more disciplined person. On top of that, he’s a full-time college student and full-time worker, balancing it all with dedication.

Nick is excited to help bring a fresh, clean look to your home — the kind you’ve been dreaming of.

A local to the area, Tyler spends most of his free time outdoors or around cars and racing — anything that keeps him active, thinking, and problem-solving. On the job, he’s detail-oriented, respectful, and committed to getting the work done right the first time while keeping your home clean and cared for.

Meet Lenny

Born and raised in PA, Lenny keeps life active and straightforward. When he’s not on the job, you’ll usually find him watching football, hitting the gym, or relaxing with a few games to unwind. He’s big on staying active, pushing himself, and enjoying time with friends whenever he gets the chance.

What Lenny enjoys most about working at Pocono Pros is the satisfaction of seeing a job come together. Stepping back, looking at the finished result, and knowing the team delivered exactly what the customer wanted — or better — is what drives him. For him, it’s not just about getting the work done; it’s about taking pride in it and getting better every day.

Lenny brings steady effort, good energy, and real craftsmanship to every project he touches.

Our Mission

Our mission at Pocono Pro's Painting & Power Washing is to raise the standard for home services in Northeastern Pennsylvania. We believe homeowners deserve contractors who actually care about the experience, not just the check. That means listening before we quote, communicating throughout the project, and never walking away until you are completely satisfied. We are here to prove that people come before profit, and we pursue quality rather than shortcuts. Every project is a chance to get better, and every satisfied customer is proof that doing things the right way still matters.

Our Core Values

Communication

We believe most contractor horror stories start with poor communication. That is why we keep you informed at every stage of your project. From your first phone call to your final walkthrough, you will always know what is happening and when. If something changes, you hear it from us first. We answer our phones, return messages promptly, and never leave you wondering where things stand.

Accountability

When we make a commitment, we follow through. If we say we will be there at 8 AM, we are there at 8 AM. If something does not meet our standards, we fix it before you have to ask. Accountability means owning our work from start to finish and standing behind it with a written warranty. We do not make excuses, and we do not disappear when things get hard.

Quality

We are not interested in cutting corners to finish faster or cheaper. Every surface is properly prepped, primed, and painted correctly. We use Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore products because quality materials matter as much as quality workmanship. Our goal is not just a job that looks good on day one. We want your paint to hold up for years to come.

Trust

Trust is earned, not assumed. We earn it by showing up on time, being honest about what your project needs, and delivering exactly what we promised. We treat your home with respect, protect your belongings, and leave your space cleaner than we found it. Every member of our team understands that your trust is the foundation of our business, and we work hard to keep it.
