Carty Painting is a two-person painting operation run out of Hingham, on the South Shore, by owner Paul Carty — small enough that the same crew shows up whether it's a full exterior repaint or a handful of shutters and doors. The reviews on file are specific rather than generic. In a 2025 review, a homeowner described the crew painting all of their exterior trim, working through a stretch of heavy rain to get shutters and doors done in the garage, and replacing rotted trim along the way. Another 2025 review came from someone who has hired Carty Painting twice over the past 15 years, calling the crew on-time, on-budget, and tidy about cleanup. A 2022 review calls Paul Carty responsive and personable, doing quality work. Its BBB file has been open since 2018, with the business itself dating back to 2011, and the file carries an A+ rating — a separate status from BBB accreditation, which it doesn't hold. For a smaller exterior job, or a repeat call from someone who's used them before, these three accounts line up: on time, tidy, and willing to fix a rotted board along the way.

We just had Carty Painting come out to paint all of our exterior trim and we are so happy with the result! Paul was super responsive from the start and patient with our (probably annoying, though he didn’t say it 😂) detailed requests. He and his partner reliably came out early and worked through the day to get our job done quickly, even with the ridiculous amounts of rain we had they’d be here getting the shutters/doors done in the garage! Reasonably priced and worth every penny. They even went as far as to replace some of the trim that had been rotted out. I really appreciated not feeling like I had to stay on top of them about showing up or have to scrutinize their work at the end of each day. It’s also amazing the difference some fresh paint makes in updating or freshening up the house. We’ll be calling them back when we have other painting projects.
I’ve hired Carty Painting twice in the past 15 years and each time the work has been on time and on budget. The crew are polite, professional and leave their work sites cleaner than they found them.
Paul Carty was responsive, professional, and personable. He’s a really nice man who does great, quality work.
