In July 2026 a customer wrote that Joe and his crew painted the outside of their camp, body and trim, then the first-floor ceiling and the cathedral walls on the second floor, and left nothing out of place. Bethel Stone Painting and Carpentry is a Portland, Maine painting company that says it has 15 years in business and works towns from York to Camden; it holds a 5.0 on Google from 34 ratings. In a November 2025 review, the residents of a five-unit, three-story townhouse building wrote that Bethel stained the clapboard and painted the trim in two weeks, including rain days. They said Joe, the owner, sent a clear proposal, did not nickel-and-dime them on surface prep or replacing deteriorated boards, held the negotiated price for three months while they collected funds, and found matching shutters to replace damaged ones. A May 2024 HomeAdvisor reviewer wrote that in three days the whole house was primed, painted and all the rotten wood replaced. In May 2025 a customer said the carpentry the crew took on in the middle of a paint job was the part that impressed them, and that Joe stuck to his estimate. An April 2025 condo resident who first hired Bethel Stone for painting said the company also put in new flooring. In September 2024 a customer wrote that the crew did 290 linear feet of fence, on time and with no mess, and in April 2023 another said the company painted their fence.
Joe and his crew were very professional and a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Amongst contractors we have known, Bethel Stone worked to meet and exceed our expectations within the expected timeline. We recommend them highly.
Joe and his crew went above and beyond anything I could have hoped for. They painted the outside of our camp, body and trim. They painted the ceiling on the first floor. They painted the cathedral walls on the second floor. After they left there was not one thing out of place nor any mess that they ever entered my home. Joe communicated every aspect of this job. I could not be happier. Just wished I could have given him and his team more than five stars.
Excellent responsiveness & quality work. Great communication and follow through. Highly recommend!
Great job Joe and the team
A very professional painting company. They did a very good job.
