My partner Chris and I do what it takes to get the job done for our clients - on time and on budget. We're dedicated to personal service, attention to detail, and relationship building. We'll handle as much or as little of your project as you need; from bones to bows. One of our specialties is making home sellers money through our Pre-Market Home Transformation Programs.
Some of our most successful transformations were once considered "unsellables." We tackle red flags, cosmetic updates, repairs, and potential buyer bargaining chips that not just help get it sold more quickly, but that increase your home's real and perceived value to put more money in your pocket at closing.
We're vested: We're not going to waste your money on that which won't increase it's value or get it sold faster. The less money you have to spend and the greater the value of your home "after, " the better it is for us! Providing a turn-key, trouble-free, move-in ready home for buyers gives us an opportunity to have an impact on both sides of the sale, which results in a "Win-Win-Win" all around!

Jo and Chris did a fabulous job transforming our kitchen cabinets. The painting job was perfect, the price was great and we couldn't be happier. Jo and Chris are also fantastic people, pet lovers (very helpful), honest and hard working. I highly recommend them! Anyone looking for high quality, professional painting ought to turn to A Wicked Wand.
Hi, I'm Jo-Anne Penn, owner/operator of A Wicked Wand out of Brookfield, CT. I'm a licensed home improvement contractor, a painter, project choreographer, creative & color consultant, and an HSR Certified Professional Home Stager & Re-designer. I'm also a licensed Realtor, with a twist. If you had to put me in a labeled box, I'm a painter who stages, directs, AND produces Wicked results.
We've all seen them on tv, in magazines, online and pretty much everywhere - the reclaimed shiplap or whitewashed wood panel feature wall. When I was pricing materials for this look for a client, I was astonished at the per sq. My Home Depot had a thin "tongue & groove" new product called vintage shiplap in butternut brown and gray - both ugly colors that looked more green-ish than anything.

WOW and not in a good way. If you want below average work and people that come to your house at 6pm to only work a couple hours at a time, then hire these hacks. The only thing that came out great in this project was the drywall and they didn't do that. The rest is a disaster.
They promise you exactly what you want but can't deliver and end up way over there heads. They promised a completely even and uniform garage floor, but when they finished the job, they couldn't even acknowledge that it was blatantly uneven and mismatched.
I still don't understand why they chopped

Super professional, honest, and detailed oriented. Flexible and just all out great people! Completed main painting/ repair job quickly and even when I threw in another unexpected one, completed that too without sacrificing quality. Great communication throughout the project. Took care of minor things like loose hooks, blinds, doors not closing properly...those things did not go unnoticed ;-) Appreciate the great work,
Thanks Jo, Chris and George!

Jo and Chris were a pleasure to work with. They updated my kitchen by about 20 years, by painting the cabinets, walls, and trim. More interior painting was done a few months later. We were able to sell our house 3 weeks after listing it, and the buyers stated that the kitchen had been one of the main reasons they loved the house.

Jo and Chris did an amazing job turning my MIL’s outdated, unappealing, unsellable house into a gem! After sitting on the market for several months in 2019, with no interest from any buyers who could see the house’s potential, we took it off the market and handed it over to Jo and Chris for a top-to-bottom transformation.
They did a remarkable job of staying within our budget by coming up with genius and creative solutions. Jo made perfect design choices. They did most of the work themselves and seamlessly coordinated the few contractors. They made the project as worry free as possible for

I was absolutely satisfied with all the work Jo did for me. I have a large home and hired Jo and Chris to paint a large portion of it Jo’s attention to detail was impeccable! The work was completed when they said it would be. Jo is an expert when it comes to helping you choose colors I would highly recommend The Wicked Wand! You will be extremely pleased

Jo and Chris of Wicked Wand Painting were phenomenal. The house is custom built and has all kinds of hand cut details which makes it challenging. They stained the house and painted all the trim two colors. The barn was never stained and it had aged and they came up with a solution to get it to match the house which was perfect. Their work is perfection, they went above and beyond, and they truly care about what they do. They were a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend them, and I will definitely use them for the interior of the house also. Thank you!

Honest and Professional team, detailed oriented, great communication throughout the project. The rooms all turned out great! Chris even helped us hang Christmas lights around the house, it is just what we need during the holiday season before 2021. We will certainly use their professional service again for future projects. Thanks J, C, and S!

Jo was a pleasure to work with! They were able to complete the job very quickly and gave an estimate they were able to stick to. The painting and small drywall patch was well done and very smooth. There were no runs or drips in the work. She was very personable and nice to talk to. I would recommend A Wicked Wand to any friend and will use them again in the future!
