I think the customers of Emerald Painting should know the type of man that Phillip is.

Phillip Garrity, owner of Emerald Painting, is a home wrecking woman abuser. Phillip has been convicted of domestic violence assault against a girlfriend. Phillip also allowed a man to live in his home, who was running prostitutes. Phillip had a girlfriend at home while he was out in her car entertaining a woman 18 years younger than himself, who also had a family at home.

There are hundreds of quality painters across Southern, Central, and Midcoast Maine you could use to paint your home. Spend your dollars with a reputable company owned by a decent human being.


Phillip Garrity’s domestic violence assault arrest and conviction:


Phillip recently had a friend named Robert Murphy living with him who was believed to be running prostitutes out of Phillip’s house. Robert admitted this to me on the phone. Phillip assaulted Robert and threw Robert out of his home after a disagreement about the prostitution business. This website about Robert Murphy was built by someone else, but can be found at bobmurphyjr.com


It is believed that due to the negative publicity this website has brought Phillip Garrity and Emerald Painting, Phillip is currently working with and for Ted Axelrod Handyman And Home Improvement out of Yarmouth, Maine.


Phillip is no longer promoting his own business on the Facebook pages, but instead recommending his associate Ted Axelrod.


Ted Axelrod is a defender of Phillip’s when this website is posted on the community pages. If Ted Axelrod supports the conduct of Phillip Garrity, would you trust Ted Axelrod around your home or family, doing a project for you??


The week before Christmas, Phillip picked up a younger woman while driving his current girlfriend’s car, and later dropped her off at her home without any pants on. She was so drunk, she collapsed upon stumbling into the house, and urinated on the floor. Police and rescue were called, and they determined she was incapable of caring for herself before transporting her to the hospital. Her 15 year old son was a witness to this


A concerning post from a user on Facebook:


Phillip called me on my cell phone and made violent threats to me:


Phillip has also made derogatory comments about the LGBTQ community to me verbally and through text message.


Phillip thought it was hilarious when I asked him to stop coming to my home and taking my girlfriend out to get messed up 2 days before Christmas. This man was always driving his long time girlfriend’s car.


My 15 year old son watched Phillip drop his mother off in our yard with no pants on. Phillip was driving the vehicle of another woman he was dating, who had no idea Phillip was driving women around in her car. Now, there is a 16 year old child that has written his deadbeat mother off, and hasn’t seen her in extended time because of Phillip’s home wrecking ways.
