Cyr Painting & Restoration

Cyr Painting & Restoration says it has been in business for 43 years. On its website the company says that before any work begins it identifies issues that may cause a home to fail, such as moisture intrusion, rot or failed coatings, and then applies paints, coatings and finishes. It lists a service area that includes Old Lyme, Essex, Groton, Stonington, Westerly, Charlestown, Narragansett and Newport. A recent customer said the company made wallpapering three rooms smooth, with two employees, Ernie and Bob, measuring the rooms, working out how much wallpaper was needed and hanging it. A recent customer said John Cyr and his crew painted nearly all the interior surfaces and trim in the home nearly five years ago, that the job is standing the test of time, and that they returned recently for a small job. A recent customer whose house needed a rehab said old paint was removed to the wood, rotted wood was replaced, and the house was primed and painted with two coats. A 2026 customer said John Cyr and team got the entire interior of a new construction house painted within the quoted timeline, coordinating with the contractors as they finished. A 2025 customer said John was involved with the project every step of the way and that the crew arrived at 7:00am each weekday, worked 8 hours and left the workspace to the customer's liking before heading out at 3:00pm. A 2025 customer said the company fixed and repainted ceilings on two floors that had extensive cracks and poor prior repair attempts, and left the house spotless. A 2025 customer said John and his crew washed, sanded, primed and finish-painted the exterior of a house on the water in Stonington, and that John helped with color selections. A 2022 customer said the company took on a complex exterior project at the home that summer. A 2021 customer said Mr. Cyr became nearly impossible to contact once the job began and was argumentative over the slightest questioning.
