"I called for a quote when shopping around for my exterior paint/stain project. Leoâ s price was competitive but I ultimately went with another company since I had received their quote first. That was a mistake. I called Leo to see if he had availability to come look at fixing the job that the first company started. The first company had failed to sand any of the trim and the paint was immediately peeling after day 1. Leo came right out, looked at the job once more and his team started the next day. They took their time and did a great job with the prep work and fixing what the first company had done. This was not a three day project like the first company was aiming for. They really took their time and did it correctly. He also guided me in selecting which colors should be used in certain areas. My home looks brand new. I would recommend Challenger Construction for any and all painting needs."

"When I contacted FreshCoat, I said "I usually just paint myself, but I bought this crazy metallic paint at Target, and it looks like it's complicated to apply. Do you have experience with this type of paint?"  Reassurances all around. The painter, Doug, called me with a litany of "faux finish" jobs he had done that looked great.

He painted the room with my paint, and after two coats, he packed up, reassuring me that it was going to look great when it dried. Well, after a day or two, it was clearly a disaster. I called Barbara, who came out to look and of course said that the job needed to be fixed. Score 1 star for FreshCoat.

Barbara (administrator) and Douglas (painter) met and decided that I needed to use paint that he was familiar with. This
seemed totally reasonable, and I figured I should have known better than to buy house paint at Target. So I went to Lowes and purchased the primer, base coat, and metallic that they recommended.

Douglas came back, forgot to use the primer (he read the paint cans wrong), and finished the job with his recommended paint. Again, he packed up and left with reassurances. The picture that I'm attaching isn't of wet paint, or of one coat when another was planned. This was the finished job, several days later.

I called poor Barbara to complain again, and again she came out to look at it. I told her that I was not going to pay for the full rate of painting, and we settled on a price for their effort plus several days of work, etc. 800 dollars.

I am giving a C rather than an F because I appreciated that the owners were apologetic, rather than trying to make it seem like I was crazy or too demanding. Barbara's parting words were "Doug usually does a really good job..."  They didn't offer to send another painter to fix it, and I didn't insist, because at that point it had gone on for over a week and I was tired of having people in the house.

I ended up getting boring, non-metallic paint and re-painting it myself. It was a total waste of a thousand dollars (when I add the cost of many cans of paint)"

"We had Mike of Specsurf Painting paint a kitchen, bathroom/laundry room, the exterior of the house and stain a deck. He did a tremendous job. He is reliable, patient, a true professional. His ability to match paint to a 33 year old vinyl siding was perfect. We could not be more pleased. We would highly recommend his service and company."

Customers say: Quick response

"If you're looking for a company to do a quality professional paint job at an affordable rate I highly recommend Jonathan at Unique's Painting! I submitted a request for an interior paint project on the Angi app. Jonathan not only contacted me immediately, he also came to my house that same day to give me a quote. I hired him to paint 3 rooms in my new home. The existing paint job was horribly done and almost every wall was left with small holes and lumpy bumpy surfaces. Jonathan and his team did an amazing job at filling, sanding, & prepping the walls and trim prior to painting and as a result the final paint job in all 3 rooms turned out fantastic!! During the process Jonathan even repaired several damaged areas on the tin ceiling before painting it and sent me video updates since I wasn't there. I will definitely be calling Unique's Painting for all my future paint projects and you should too!!"

FAQs for painting projects in Portland, CT

We make finding a painter easy. Simply use our directory to find a painter. Here you can browse local pros, check their reviews and do your first screening without ever having to call. We’ve also prescreened all the pros for you, to give you peace of mind.

Painters usually price a job by the square feet of the project. Sometimes they’ll include flat fees for fixed expenses, like overhead and permits.

Painters usually supply their own paint. They have access to contractor discounts and usually buy in bulk, meaning you pay less for higher quality paint. You should still ask what kind they use and do a little research to make sure you approve.

Choosing between rolling or spraying an exterior depends on a lot of factors, including climate, wind, siding type, house shape and height. Your pro will know which method provides better results.
