Amherst Painting Company, LLC

Amherst Painting Company has been a Southern New Hampshire fixture for over three decades — Peter and Heidi Pierce started the business in 1994, and it's still owner-operated today. Based in Amherst, they handle residential and commercial interior and exterior painting, plus carpentry and related repair work, across a wide swath of the Nashua-Manchester area — Amherst, Milford, Bedford, Merrimack, Nashua, Manchester and a dozen surrounding towns. The Better Business Bureau gives them an A+ grade, and on Google, reviews from 2015 through 2020 run almost entirely five stars, with one four-star notice. In a 2020 review, a first-time customer called the crew professional, timely and courteous and said they were already planning a second project. Longer-term clients echo that: in a 2019 review, one homeowner described using Amherst Painting for several interior and exterior jobs, with the work always done as agreed; another that year credited them with pleasing a notoriously hard-to-please spouse. A 2015 review from a repeat client went further, crediting Peter and Heidi personally for color and paint expertise plus repair and structural advice beyond the paint job itself. The written reviews are a bit dated — the most recent one on file is from late 2020 — so it's worth asking directly about current scheduling and pricing. The company says it's EPA RRP and EPA Certified Renovator certified, relevant credentials for anyone painting an older New Hampshire home where lead paint could be a factor; New Hampshire doesn't license painting contractors, so there's no state registration to check. For a repaint or repair job in the Amherst/Nashua corridor, especially on an older home, this reads as a well-established, owner-run shop with a consistent track record — confirm current availability and ask about the EPA lead-safe certification if the home predates 1978.
