Demetrios Painting Inc

Demetrio's Painting Inc is a painting contractor based on Columbia Circle in Merrimack, New Hampshire, hired mostly for whole-house interior and exterior repaints. The company says on its own site that Edson Demetrio founded it in 2003 and that it has stayed family operated since, with Edson and a second contact, Carlos, both named by homeowners in reviews. The track record is unusually deep for a small painting outfit: 33 reviews on file dated 2021 through 2026, almost all five-star, and a Google average of 4.9 from 74 ratings. What reviewers describe again and again is the preparation rather than the paint — power washing, scraping and sanding, replacing rotted boards, priming, and taping and covering everything before a brush is lifted. Several are repeat customers; one 2021 reviewer was on their fourth project, another describes both an interior job and a Victorian exterior repaint. The work described runs wider than plain painting. Homeowners credit the crew with drywall and ceiling repair, crown molding, wallpaper removal on a 1921 bungalow, and trim restoration around a front door, and the company's own site adds power washing, hardwood floor maintenance and wood door and window restoration. Two things are worth raising before booking. Two 1-star Google reviews from early 2026 complain about the on-road conduct of company drivers — neither describes the painting work itself, but they are the only recent negatives on file. And one homeowner found the full quote for walls and ceiling above their budget and scaled the job back, so it is worth asking for the job to be priced in stages. New Hampshire does not register painting contractors with a state licence, so there is no registry credential to check here; the company states it is insured and lead certified, which is its own claim rather than something verified for this profile.
