On its website the company says it has worked for homeowners and for corporations, institutions and property managers in Connecticut for nearly forty years, and its Better Business Bureau profile describes residential and commercial painting and paper hanging. It holds an A+ grade from the BBB. A recent Google customer says the walls look fresh and smooth and the job was completed on schedule. A 2025 customer said Bill and his crew painted their new home tip to toe, including ceilings, walls, pocket doors, the basement and some kitchen cabinet doors, with a lot of prep: sanding down drip marks, retaping seams that were coming apart, and patching and sanding walls. A 2025 customer said they fixed a bulge from settling plaster in an 1880s home. A 2024 customer hired Bill Bender to paint two long-neglected bedrooms with numerous holes in the walls and said afterward the imperfections could not be found. A 2023 customer said Bill and his team did the prep work on the plaster walls of their 221-year-old home and that the wallpaper came out seamless. A 2024 customer said they installed new wallpaper on a two-story wall and in a hallway. A 2024 customer said Bill had put up some of their wallpaper 35 years earlier, took it down this time, and then his team came back to finish and paint wainscoting another contractor had done in the kitchen, hall and dining-room entry. In a 2023 review, the Windham Free Library said it chose Bill Bender and his crew to restore its Dr. Hunt Office, a one-room 18th-century office next to the library, after receiving a grant for the work. A 2023 customer who hired Bill and his crew a second time to take down popcorn ceilings said they removed the popcorn, repaired the ceiling and painted, and arrived early every morning. A 2023 customer said they cleaned the entire working area every day. Its Connecticut home improvement contractor registration, number HIC.0641187, is expired on the state registry. **Strengths:** - Seamless wallpaper — a 2023 customer said paper on old plaster came out seamless - Thorough prep — a 2025 customer described sanding drip marks and patching walls - Daily cleanup — a 2023 customer said they cleaned the work area every day - On-schedule finish — a recent customer says the job finished on schedule **Concerns:** - Expired HIC registration — Connecticut registration is expired on the state registry ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Says on its website it has worked for Connecticut homeowners, institutions and property managers for nearly forty years _(confidence: medium)_ - [Official Website](https://www.billbenderpainting.com) — “About (self-reported, verbatim): For nearly forty years, our house painting company has done work for countless homeowners and some of the m…” - A+ grade from the Better Business Bureau _(confidence: high)_ - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ct/windham/profile/painting-contractors/bill-bender-painting-wallcovering-llc-0111-87119127) — “Better Business Bureau grade: A+” - Connecticut home improvement contractor registration HIC.0641187 is expired on the state registry _(confidence: high)_ - [State License Registry](https://www.elicense.ct.gov/Lookup/LicenseLookup.aspx) — “CT hic license HIC.0641187 registry-verified expired (registry's own word: "INACTIVE — DUE TO NON-RENEWAL OF CREDENTIAL") — registry holder …” - A recent customer says the job was completed on schedule _(confidence: medium)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT2xFM1owWkpkRGRSTVRGWFltcFZjRmhOYjBWTFNrRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0xeab1182fac9999af!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOlE3Z0ZJdDdRMTFXYmpVcFhNb0VLSkE%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ Excellent painter who delivered top-quality work with precision and care.
