A recent customer with an aluminum-sided house said Christian gave them pricing on the spot instead of making them wait for a quote, told them when rain disrupted the schedule, and that Lou and his crew cleaned the residue off the siding before painting it. That is Charter Painting And Restoration, which describes itself as family-owned and operated for over five decades, doing interior and exterior painting, historic restorations and refinishing. Its website names Manchester, Vernon, West Hartford, South Windsor, Windsor and Glastonbury as its service area. On Google it holds 4.8 stars from 63 ratings. A recent exterior customer said they sanded and primed where needed before applying the paint, after an earlier painter's coatings failed within a few years. A recent customer said a 4-person team refinished an old popcorn ceiling in a family room and kitchen and left the kitchen clean and usable each day. A recent customer said Charter Painting painted their house, trim, soffits, shutters and shed, and had first painted that house 11 years ago. A 2026 customer said Christian Charter did the taping and compounding on a wall rebuilt around new double windows, then matched the new paint to the old. A 2025 customer described all interior walls and ceilings redone in a 30-year-old, 3,000 sq. ft. home, with cracks, pops and water damage fixed, and said the pricing was fair and less than expected. A 2024 customer with a 100-year-old home said Christian and his crew did extensive scraping, priming and painting and worked to retain the house's historic design and character. A 2024 customer who had a few jobs done said a few errors occurred, and that they came back and fixed them right away.
We had a restoration project that required multiple trades and Christian helped coordinate everyone so on top of great painting work, I appreciated his added help. A+ on communication as well.
I just hired Charter to paint the exterior of my house. They are the best painters I have hired. They were on time and kept me informed all along. They were very neat and did an excellent job. They sanded and primed where it needed it before applying the paint. The last painters I hired were not good and the coatings failed after a few years. These guys addressed it and did an outstanding job. I will definitely be hiring them again and recommending them to my friends and neighbors.
I've had my house painted several times, and without a doubt Charter has done the best job. Amazing prep work and painting with a professional, experienced and dependable crew. Highly recommended.
They did an exceptional job, very professional, beautiful finish on walls and fireplace. They arrived promptly, worked quickly, and cleaned up afterward. We were very satisfied and will use them again and refer to our friends.
Christian was very responsive when we reached out to have our aluminum sided house painted. He provided us with pricing on the spot, rather than making us wait for a quote. He was also up front about the schedule, and proactively notified us when rain caused a disruption to the schedule. Lou and his crew showed up on time, and did a fantastic job cleaning the residue off the aluminum siding and painting it to look new again. They were also very neat, not leaving so much as a piece of tape behind. It was very refreshing to work with a contractor who not only communicated with us, but did an A+ job.
