I'm Matthew Rathgeb, founder of Groovy Hues and owner of Groovy Hues Painting of Philadelphia. For over 20 years, I've been passionate about bringing color, peace, and professionalism to homes and businesses across the Greater Philadelphia area.
What started as a one-man operation with a vision for better service has grown into one of the region's most trusted painting companies — now the flagship franchise for Groovy Hues, a rapidly expanding national brand. Our local team serves Philadelphia, the Main Line, Bucks, Montgomery, and Delaware counties with a level of care and efficiency that's anything but average.
From the early days of personally quoting every job and brushing every wall myself, I knew this business had to stand for more than just paint. It had to be about trust, responsiveness, and quality that speaks for itself. That's why every Groovy Hues experience is built on five core values: grind hard, serve others, win with integrity, wow every client, and always do the right thing — even when no one's looking.
As we've grown, we've stayed laser-focused on delivering a customer experience that's fast, friendly, and friction-free. We offer same-day on-site estimates, flexible financing options, free color consultations, and full walk-throughs at the end of every project — because you shouldn't pay until you're blown away by the results.
Our Fishtown, Newtown and Ardmore offices allow us to reach customers quickly, offer hyper-local service, and build real relationships. Today, I also mentor new Groovy Hues franchise owners across the country, helping them build their business on the same systems, service standards, and values that helped mine succeed.
When I'm not leading our growing team, you'll find me spending time with my family, coaching others, or strategizing ways to keep raising the bar — not just in painting, but in how people feel when they work with us.
